I just released the latest episode of The Writing Coach podcast, and I’m really excited about this one because I'm speaking with amazing author and writing coach J. Thorn.
Thorn has published two million words and has sold more than 185,000 books worldwide.
In March of 2014 he held the #5 position in Horror alongside his childhood idols Dean Koontz and Stephen King (at #4 and #2 respectively). He is an official member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, the Horror Writers Association, and the Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers.
During our discussion, J. describes:
- How he has approached work and productivity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic
- Why writing a novel is like having a baby
- The way music has influenced his writing
- How he approaches each publishing project as an experiment
- Why he made the decision to leave his day job to pursue writing full-time
- And much more!
Listen to the episode now.
Your pal in writing,
Kevin T. Johns, writing coach
P.S. J. is about to launch a super cool 5-day writing challenge called “Supercharge Your Scene.”
He developed this challenge after helping countless authors who struggled to write engaging scenes. Whether you’re an experienced pro or a new writer, you’ll write better scenes after completing the challenge.
During the 5-day challenge, J. will post free lessons each day to walk you through the process of writing and revising compelling scenes that will exponentially improve your novel or nonfiction book.
You can get all the details about the challenge here.
