ABOUT HUGH TIPPING<\/h2>\n

Hugh Tipping is the author of the upcoming fantasy novel \u201cThe Threads of Magic.\u201d He is a native of New York City, spending his daytime hours as a techie, and his nights writing fiction and poetry, as well as acting in local theatre. To connect with Hugh\u00a0and stay current with his news,\u00a0stop by his Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On to our interview!<\/h3>\n

1. Tell us who you are and what inspires you to write in 100 words or less.<\/h2>\n

I am a new novelist who completed NaNoWriMo 2014 with invaluable help from Beth Barany<\/a>. Starting there, I went on to complete a hefty first draft of an epic adult fantasy novel that I am editing aggressively.<\/p>\n

I am inspired by the storytelling process itself, and the richness by which my favorite authors write. I aspire to write prose like\u00a0Ursula K. LeGuin<\/a>. The richness of her descriptions, her stories, and the ways she can “turn a phrase” leave me smiling whenever I read her\u00a0books.<\/p>\n

2. How did you get to this place in your life? Share your story!<\/h2>\n

I have always loved writing. Most of what I wrote over the years was small, but I always had the dream of writing a novel. Even with wonderful writing teachers, my life (and career) took different turns. I tried many times to start novels but could never quite finish them.<\/p>\n

Finding Beth and the Barany School of Fiction<\/a> has put me on the road to reaching the goal of being a novelist.<\/p>\n

3. What are you most passionate about?<\/h2>\n

I am passionate about and fascinated by the creative process itself, that intangible mechanism by which a person makes something new out of nothing. Whatever the person creates, whether it is writing, painting, sculpting, or music, it is wondrous to me how the spark of a thought can travel a journey to a masterpiece.<\/p>\n

4. Can you tell us a little bit about your writing process, routine, and\/or rituals around your writing?<\/h2>\n

I may not write every day but I do write in long sessions. The continuity helps me when the thoughts and inspiration are flowing. It can take some time for me to \u201cwarm up\u201d for a session, usually by rereading pages prior to where I am currently in a manuscript.<\/p>\n

I also have a small stone I was given in a creative writing class. At the teacher’s suggestion, I have used it as a sort of \u201ctalisman,\u201d a symbol of my writing process that helps put my mind into a mode to create. Sometimes I just hold on to it when I am staring at a sentence that I need to fix.<\/p>\n

Though I have enjoyed time writing in cafes and other places with lots of background noise, there are times when I feel the need for the comfort of silence as I pick apart my text. Most of my first draft was written in a coffee shop. Most of my editing is done in a local writing space or at home, deep into the evening, when others are sleeping.<\/p>\n

5. What are a few challenges you faced in creating, marketing, or publishing your creative work? And your solutions to them.<\/h2>\n

Many of my challenges were around basic craft, things such as point of view, show vs. tell, elimination of repetitive words\/phrases, etc. Working with Beth as my editor has helped me learn where I was making such mistakes, and helped me more effectively edit my own work.<\/p>\n

Once I became more comfortable with those areas, I faced obstacles with developing my characters\u2019 goals, motivations, and conflicts. Reading the Debra Dixon book “GMC”<\/a> as well as doing exercises from Beth’s courses, many from the Plan Your Novel Course<\/strong><\/a>, gave me an important framework. I let the creative process fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n

Just like many writers, I was frustrated with mistakes I was making, the lack of perfection I was seeing, and the inability to trust myself. This took more time, requiring a lot of soul searching, reaching out for advice, and acceptance of small successes as they happened.<\/p>\n

6. What do you wish you had known before you started writing fiction?<\/h2>\n

So much!<\/p>\n

Mainly, I was trying to find out if I was more of a plotter or a pantser. I took the hybrid approach. While that gave me a balance of freedom and structure, I did discover that I could have benefitted from more work on the structure side that I am having to backfill now.<\/p>\n

I also wish I would have known about some the feelings of doubt and, at times, panic that accompany the writing process. With help from other writers, I did discover that these were natural feelings, and that I was not alone. I don\u2019t think I really could have been told this, though. I needed to experience it for myself.<\/p>\n

7. What’s next for you in your creative work?<\/h2>\n

My hope is to complete the second draft of my novel within a year and get it ready for beta readers. Over that year, I will think about, though not heavily focus on, things like marketing, lining up beta readers, requesting reviews, etc. \u00a0I have gained much knowledge from the Barany School of Fiction<\/a> in those areas.<\/p>\n
