After flirting with poetry and short story writing for over 20 years, Jonathan decided to complete his first official novel in 2020.

Still writing and working in multiple genres, Jonathan's first novel "Mr. Hypochondriac" is a literary fiction novel exploring the human condition under the guise of suspense and thriller genres (with a dash of supernatural horror).

Currently working on a crime noir/drama graphic novel, a high-concept science fiction epic, a children's book series, and a history based horror novel, Jonathan will be releasing many more works in the months to come!

First and foremost- SLEEP WELL. A well-rested mind is key to creating, no matter the art form.

Second- Routine exercise. Even if it's only a few times a week, the body being in shape helps the mind to stay in shape, as well. You don't have to work toward looking like Thor or be in marathon runner shape for your body and mind to appreciate the hard work you're doing to be the best version of yourself possible.

Third, and finally- No matter what, just do it. It doesn't matter if you churn out 8,000 words of dog crap that ends up getting scrapped the next day, the simple act of creating will help the mind work past the invisible, creative roadblock and get you back on track.(less)

Short answer: Playing God.
Long answer: The best thing about being an author is building a believable world with realistic characters. Writing in Third Person Deep, I'm able to jump into the minds of the characters I've created, and I experience everything through their eyes and emotions. There have been many times I've wept with my characters, laughed with my characters...

In my experiences writing them and sharing their minds for a spell, my characters are as real as you or me.(less)
