More From Amanda Hocking

I was asking questions which nobody else had asked before, because nobody else had actually looked at certain structures. therefore, as i will tell, the advent of the computer, not as a computer but as a drawing machine, was for me a major event in my life. that's why i was motivated to participate in the birth of computer graphics, because for me computer graphics was a way of extending my hand, extending it and being able to draw things which my hand by itself, and the hands of nobody else before, would not have been able to represent.
Hands Drawing Asking Questions
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.
Wall Writing Cells
I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.
Writing Play Long
I started writing when i was around 6. i say 'writing,' but it was really just making up stuff! i started writing and doing my own thing. i didn't really know what a demo was or anything like that, so i started getting interested in studio gear and started learning about one instrument at a time. my first instrument was an accordion.
Writing Gears Stuff
Usually, i have a lot of acquaintance with the story before i start writing it. when i didn't have regular time to give to writing, stories would just be working in my head for so long that when i started to write i was deep into them. now, i do that work by filling notebooks.

I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but i spend so much time on their lives, i don’t have much of a personal life of my own. i have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.

For obvious reasons, i never told you about my notebook, with a cover as green as mansions long ago, which i use as a commonplace book, a phrase which here means 'place where i have collected passages from some of the most important books i have read.
Notebook Mean Long Ago
Whenever i hear some bigmouth in washington or the christian heartland banging on about the evils of sodomy or whatever, i mentally enter his name in my notebook and contentedly set my watch. sooner rather than later, he will be discovered down on his weary and well-worn old knees in some dreary motel or latrine, with an expired visa card, having tried to pay well over the odds to be peed upon by some apache transvestite.
