How do you deal with writer’s block?
Jason Acar Take a break, distract your mind from the story, and come back later. Once you're relaxed, put down any of your thoughts. I will often write a number of sentences even though I don't like them, and then repeatedly delete them until something sticks. That often increases motivation and gets you going again.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Jason Acar I myself am an aspiring author, and all I would say is keep writing. Finish projects and put them out there. Procrastination and fear will kill the career of young writers before they have even begun. So motivate yourself to get it done and see where the road takes you.

What are you currently working on?
Jason Acar Promoting my new book, hahaha. It was quite a process writing this story as a screenplay, and then a book. Throughout this time, I've been working a pretty demanding day job. I've also self-published to understand the entire process, which means marketing is all up to me. I loved writing this book though, so you can be sure I will be sifting through ideas sooner rather than later.

How do you get inspired to write?
Jason Acar I've loved creative writing from a very young age. My inspiration for writing comes from everything around me. I'll be honest, I don't generally search for inspiration, as I often feel that storytelling is something that I've had naturally. Personally, all I have to do is set my mind ticking, and it will generally do its own thing (a blessing and a curse...)

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Jason Acar After completing my first screenplay, which was a sci-fi political thriller, I wanted to go back to a subject that I had a better understanding of. I decided to create a thriller that focused on gaming, one of my favorite hobbies. The story just flowed onto paper during the preparation phase, and I absolutely loved the process.
