An interview with Paul Sekulich

Paul Sekulich
The Omega Formula ~ 2013




Paul, 

Thank you for taking your time for me 

 


Who are your influences?

Please visit his website interview at: http://mdnovelist.com/interview.htm


When did you begin writing?

1970, while in college


How do you come up with your stories, characters, character names, POV, etc.?

My wife says my mind is a little pawnshop of shit. An idea walks in, tinkles my little shop doorbell, and I make it into something, often just more shit. But every once and a while… literary gold.


Do you work from an outline?

Part outliner, part pantser


Tell me about your favorite scene in your novel(s).

It’s one involving Detective Frank Dugan that would be a big spoiler for you if I told you about it. When you read the book, you may find that it’s your favorite too. It has to do with a dark, humid place.


Can you tell us a little about your writing philosophy?

In a sentence, I want to tell a story that entertains from the very first page to the end of the book.


Have you ever tried writing in any other genres?

Yes, comedic stories, stage plays, screenplays, poetry, and ad copy.


Do you have any interesting writing-related anecdotes to share?

Please see the website interview.

Do you listen to music as you write?

Rarely. I find a running TV white noise and usually let it play as I write. 





On the behalf of my reader's, again I thank you Paul for your time
