Author Interview with Ennovy Yentrok: Tales from Trattaharia, Emerging Trattah: Chronicle One


A Conversation with Ennovy Yentrok,
Author of "Tales from Trattaharia, Emerging Trattah: Chronicle One"



Why did you feel you had to write Tales from Trattaharia, Emerging Trattah: Chronicle One?
This story, like any other that I write, is more of a calling for me, a divine commission if you will.

Where do you get your ideas?
As this story is divinely inspired, the best answer would be from Spirit.

Do you ever experience writer’s block and how do you overcome it?
I only experience writer's block when I try to insert my own ideas instead of letting God flow through to write what it is that He wants me to write. I've learned very quickly that if I am to be successful then I must be willing to surrender my own thoughts and ideas. I joke with people all of the time saying that God is the writer while I am just the scribe.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers on the writing and publishing process?
There is so much that I have learned that I have actually been asked to write a book on it. But you can't say everything in a Q & A. Therefore, my best advice would be this:

1. Make sure that whatever story you write is one that your heart knows you are meant to share.
2. Settle in and buckle up: the writing process and publishing process can be heart wrenching at times.
3. Writing and getting people to read your writing is a passion that can be dangerously all-consuming. Remember to stay in balance for your own well being as well as keeping your business sense clear because as writers we tend to be emotional about our work. Do what you can do, but know your limits and let others help you when they can.

How do you market your work? Have you found some avenues to be more successful than others?
Your website is your real estate; location, location, location--make it count. Along those same lines, everything that you do should be so different from everyone else that people remember you/your book. In a way, it should be iconographic. I have had people to stop readers of mine on the street, in the subway, etc., because they have recognized my cover art, business cards, bookmarks. Lastly, network, network, network.

If your book was made into a movie, who do you picture playing each part?
I honestly don't know. But, if after you read my book and you have some ideas, feel free to let me know.
