Up Close With David Knight

1. What inspires you as a writer?

    Hi everyone. This may sound strange, but it was just an overwhelming feeling within me that I had to put words onto paper. In the beginning, it was as if a creative spark ignited inside as I felt I need to write some poems about what I was sensing and feeling during meditation and sitting in ‘circle’- (Spiritual groups)

2. When did you have that ah ha moment when you knew you were a writer?

     Mmmm, I guess this occurred to me, when what I had started to write seemed to grow and expand into lengthy passages of text. I seemed to be guided in collating information together… and I started to realize that it was a book being formed in front of my very eyes!  

3. What is your writing process?                                                                                                         

Ha ha (LOL) I really should have a structure like ‘famous’ authors I guess!  For me and lots of people it’s a case of juggling and fitting it in one’s busy lifestyle.  I would like to say I have a set time each day but I don’t. For me it’s like having a pull and tug of the heart strings…its like God saying to me…time to write now David - bizarre as it sounds or seems. Sometimes, if I hear / listen to soft music…or am in a quiet moment something triggers inside my heart…as if inspiring me to get the pen to paper. As this occurs…I tend to write for about 1 and half hours, then when time allows it takes me about 2 further hours to type up what has been transcribed through me.

4. Tell us about your favorite character and why you chose to write about them?

There’s not actually a so called ‘character’ within the book, but that said everything revolves around ‘Love’, which is the overriding ‘theme’ from, through and to all hearts and souls.  

5. What are you currently working on?

Actually, the sequel I am I: The In-Dweller of your Heart - Part 2 is about two thirds completed. It is going to be awesome and a revelation to the many.

6. Any upcoming events?

Obviously, first of all we have this wonderful Virtual Blog Tour organized through the team at Assisting Authors Online. I am hoping that through various forums and connections that I can do some radio interviews and some local book signings…. ‘From little acorns… eh’? 

7. If you could be anyone you like, who would you be?

Great question! I had to laugh recently when a friend/ his wife and I watched an action / sci fi movie together…and they asked a similar question about the actors in it. “Who would you be in this film Dave?”  Oh, probably him over there…I replied. Why’s that?  As he survives! LOL Ha ha 

It’s quite difficult really. Morally / spiritually and for karma I could say that it’s best to be myself as that’s who I am…but of the famous, mmmm….its too difficult…oh dear, I guess it would have to be someone who has left a legacy…helping humankind and society.

8. Do you have any advice for new writers and something that a seasoned vet can learn?

For new writers I would say never give up upon your dreams….through determination and trust in yourself you can make them come true. For vets…your never to old or set in your ways to learn…just look at the self –pub and e-book revolution!

9. Where can your followers find you?

It’s always great to connect to new hearts and minds and continuing to share spiritual guidance and education to young or old, and anyone who has an open heart!  I’m mainly on Twitter and Facebook   using @AscensionForYou and of course via my blog and website too which is http://AscensionForYou.wordpress.com

10. Any last words?

Just want to say thank you to everyone for their kindness and support with the blog tour and to God for making this book ‘happen’.  We never stop learning upon this road and journey we call life. Try to enjoy it…make things happen so that you never feel that you had any regrets. God Bless to all. Dave – AscensionForYou- Knight
