Did you ever wonder what makes a person write? Or how someone can write with a whole other life full to the brim? Today’s video is about one such person: Jennifer Filipowicz. In a delightful private session while a number of us were at a weekend writing retreat, I talked with Jennifer about her background–her mother is a published author, her reasons for writing, and her hopes for the future.
Jennifer’s youthful vitality made our retreat a lot of fun, yet her honest answers to my questions showed her serious side as well. Watch the interview below. .
Why are so many people of all ages writing fiction and non-fiction these days? Can you relate to Jennifer’s comments? Consider leaving a comment about your own struggle to accomplish something near and dear to your heart.

I have got to learn how to tell the plot of my book more succinctly. A woman with amnesia, the man who loves her, and a wardroid sex slave uprising! There!

Great interview, Jen and Elaine!! I’ve read Jen’s book and will definitely recommend it when it hits the presses, and it will, Jen! For a busy mother and wife, Jen seems to write effortlessly and does Commander Black brilliantly. She turns me into a science fiction fan with her books!

Hi Sharon. Thanks for your comment. I have not seen Jen’s book as we’re not in the same critique group so I appreciate your comments doubly.
