What Started Me Writing Was My Love for Reading
by Paige Agnew
As an obsessive reader, it only seemed natural for the thought to cross my mind about writing. I always find reading inspiring, even now. If I ever find my writing a little…lackluster, the best solution is to pick up a good book and remember that inspiration. I wanted to write because I wanted others to feel the same way about my books as I do about other authors books. I suppose that’s how it is with any art form. There’s inspiration, and that inspiration leads to creation, and that creation leads to expression when you share it with others.
Frequently there’s the question about influence and idea source when it comes to each book. However, with the vast majority of my books, there’s no one specific thing or event or idea that lead to the book. It’s a collaboration of all of them together. Nothing specifically led up to writing Seven. It was just a little idea here and there that continued to fester until I ended up with a plot. Before I started it, I knew I wanted to try my hand with a different genre, mystery. I wouldn’t say the book is flat out a mystery, but it’s mysterious in nature. I was also aiming for something spiritual, although the spiritually of it appears subtle. I thought: what the hay? Why not have seven people kidnapped? And I went on from there. The differences of personalities make it difficult for the seven people to work together towards an escape. While Seven is mysterious in nature, it challenges the reader to live up to their full potential.
