Jessica Kelly Absolutely! I actually started a poem-writing business when I was about 8 :) I loved to read when I was a kid (still do!), and I always dreamed of coming up with stories of my own. I wanted people to fall in love with my characters as much as I had fallen in love with certain characters over the years! :)
Jessica Kelly When I first created Curtinville, Texas, for "Trick Play", I realized that there are countless people and storylines that could live there. I almost felt like Curtinville was a character, instead of just the setting. So, digging into some other twists and turns around town seemed like the logical next step!
Jessica Kelly Now that "Trick Play" is published, I'm working on my second book. I'm going to take readers back to Curtinville for another emotional rollercoaster in the tiny town that's got no shortage of drama!
Jessica Kelly Just do it! Some people spend so much time dreaming that they never get around to doing! If you want to write, write. Thanks to Kindle and the other ebook platforms, you don't have to face hoards of rejection letters from publishers. Get out there and share your stories.
Jessica Kelly The freedom! As long as I've got my laptop, I can work anywhere in the world. I have the power to create more than just characters. I get to create entire personalities -- complete with strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. I get to dig deep into my imagination every single day, and I get to share my findings with the world. It doesn't get any cooler than that!
