This is . . . Well, this is one heavy question actually. Atlas Loved was crafted from a lot of things. Heartbreak, anger, self-destruction, suicide, alcoholism, abuse, a bad relationship, regrets. It's . . . Yeah, no. The story behind it quite heavy. Perhaps best for an interview than rather this question.

God, another difficult question. Uhm, I don't. I just feel things and things come out like a river. That's it. Really, that's it. Jeez, these questions are making me nervous haha.

Damn, can't answer that one! That's a secret!

Goodreads sure asks difficult questions. Uhm. Don't write. Just . . . Don't. If you're not obsessed with it, haunted by it, and born with it, it is my firm belief that you should not in any given state, write at all. But, if it's a love letter, or flirtatious message, or you're just honing your skills as a bachelor/bachelorette . . . I see no foul in that. (Get it? Yeah, my jokes are bad haha.)

God. There's none. I hate it. I never wished to be born a writer. Why bloody would anyone want to be one? You sit and bleed on paper for a year or more with nothing to show for other than the stories you've written in a modern age. So help-me-God, there is no way to escape writing. Whether you take that as "The Best Thing" or bad, well, I leave that to you.

Uh . . . Hm. Good question. Let me not answer that for your sake, and mine. My ways are . . . Unorthodox at best.

But that wasn't it, the worst problem was that you were dead."
There you go!

Honestly, and truthfully? It would be F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is The Night", set in the jazz age. I feel I'd be genuinely comfortable just writing away at a typewriter, drinking, having fun and enjoying the more classical romance than rather the modern.
