Chapter 3: Interview
Chris K. Jones calls himself a recovering serial entrepreneur who quit at the peak of his career to honor the promise he made to himself at 19 that he would become a writer. Chris splits his time between Tarrytown, NY and Barbados, where he finds time to swim with turtles and observe cloud animals. He is an extrovert who has decided to work in the world’s loneliest profession. Writing his first novel, Headcase, has been the best form of therapy he has ever had.
In this interview, you will learn:
1) why he dramatically changed his career course;
2) how he finds his characters;
3) the difference between writing for tv and books;
4) his unique approach to outlining;
5) focusing on product rather than result; and
6) how you can possibly focus on writing when you live in Barbados.

Chapter 4: Parting Words
