Author Interview: Julia A. Royston

​(1)  How did your life as a writer begin?

Writing came to me after going through a divorce in 1994. I started journaling as therapy. I didn’t realize what I was doing by journaling but I always felt better after I wrote. I wasn’t even writing about my situation, hurt feelings or anything just whatever popped in my head. I wrote it down. 

​(2) ​What makes you feel inspired to write?

Now, inspiration for writing will come from inside me or a question from a client or author. If there is a question, problem that comes to me, I usually write about it. On the other hand, God says, write about this and I write about it. 

​(3) ​How did you come with the idea for your current story?

I asked God about writing romance fiction and he said use your own life and embellish it and make it the ultimate love story for you.

​(4) ​Tell us about your writing process. Do you outline, or are you more of a seat of your pants type of a writer?

I have done both. I started out totally writing what came to my head. No outline or guide, just writing. My business has grown and my time to write is shortened, I must write more focused than ever so an outline is a must. It saves time but it also doesn’t get me off course. I could expand some topics on my outline, but I don’t stray as much from the topic. 

​(5) What is your favorite scene in the book? Why? 

In Jillian, my favorite scene is where Jillian and Byron are at a football game and faced with a little criticism. Please read that part, it is one of my favorites. 

​(6) ​What is your usual writing routine?

I write whenever I have free time, early in the morning, during lunch hour and late at night. If I am in my writing mode, i.e. have a deadline to get something done, I use every free moment to write. I make notes on napkins, scratch pads, send emails to myself and speak and record notes in my phone. I just have to get what’s in my head out. 

​(7) ​What is the highest goal that you desire to meet as an author?

To be able to have a demand for me to speak about my books and write meet the same financial level as my other aspects of my life so I can write, speak and coach writing full-time. 

​ (8) ​What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?

Three things:  Love it, Invest in it and Protect it with everything you’ve got. 

​ (9) ​ How do you spend your free time? Do you have a favorite place to go and unwind?

I don’t have much free time but when I do, I love to travel, date nights with my husband and sleep. Lol.
