And then another two years, with some time off because in the meantime, we moved here to Fountain Hills from Oregon. And at the end of that November, I only had 15,000 words, but I had the beginnings of what I thought might be a decent story. I learned a little bit about it and I thought, okay, well, let's see if we can turn this into something. Then I learned about this event called NaNoWriMo, which is National Novel Writing Month, it's every November, and in 30 days, you're supposed to write 50,000 words, if you sign up for it.
#Murder on middle beach jill how to
Basically, I said, this person is driving me so crazy, I'm going to write 1000 words on how to kill her - which is a nice, non-lethal way of dealing with things, I thought, I thought I was being very adult, and then put it away for a while. There were some frustrating things going on and I started writing kind of as a stress reliever. It's a fictional town but there are similarities and this was actually triggered by events that were going on in the town. The book, which is called The Summer Festival is Murder takes place in a small Oregon town on the Coast of Oregon, which is not the town where we used to live. Well, this one has kind of a unique story.
So where did you look for inspiration when that bug hit you to draft that novel?
And then I found someone who said, gee, we'd like to publish it, which was very nice. And after two, two and a half years of work, I had a draft of a novel. Until I guess it's about four years ago now when I suddenly had the urge to get involved with some creative writing and some fiction. So I've done an awful lot of different kinds of writing, and all of it, in spite of what they say about lobbyists, all of it was non-fiction. Both of my primary careers over my working life had to do with writing, first as a journalist, and then as an attorney. I've been a writer pretty much all my life. Please share with us your background in writing, your journey, and what led you to this place. Jill, welcome! Thank you for joining us for another episode of getting to know Fountain Hills and the wonderful talents we have here in our beautiful town. Hello, I'm N’Marie Crumbie with the Fountain Hills Parkbench, right here in beautiful Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268. There are many writers who aren't authors and then there are writers who are authors.
