It was a love story and I sent it to Sarie . That was the favorite magazine of the sixties. I was a teenager and my mind was filled with roses and moonshine and the perfect love. What would you say motivated you to start writing? As long as I can remember, I always wanted to write a book.

Interview _ Erik Schmidt

August 31, 2011

Erik Schmidt lives in Georgia and is a sports editor and a freelance writer. 10 of his short stories appear in the anthology, Cover Stories: A Euphictional Anthology (CreateSpace, 2010). In this interview, Erik Schmidt talks about his writing: When did you start writing? I had to write fictional stories throughout elementary school, but I started taking it seriously — or at least as seriously as any 11-year-old boy can take anything beyond backyard football and baseball cards — in sixth grade.

I remember thinking some of the topics were boring or uninspiring, so I started creating my own themes for my own amusement. They weren’t anything special, but it was important for me to realize that innovation, creative thinking, and stepping outside the expected parameters are huge elements in the writing process. There was no epiphany or mind-blowing realization in regards to ...

In this email interview, Gary Albyn talks about his concerns as a writer: When did you start writing? I started writing the poem Manzovo: Place of The Elephants in late 2003. The saga of the matriarchal herd just continued to evolve and develop over a period spanning 14 months. Upon completion, and without any notion of publication, I decided to memorize the story in order to be able to recite it to like-minded audiences; people with an abiding love and respect for our environment and nat...
