Guest Post by Paul DeBlassie III
One of
the most terrifying things about being a writer is that if I’m going to write a
true story that resonates with my audience I have to live it out. It has to
have been a part of my life. Since I write thrillers and dark fantasy, that means that dark forces
that have been at play in my life or are presently in the works can be quite
overwhelming. This is not a hands off enterprise. Writing cuts to the core of
my life and life experience, relationships, profession, dream, and nightmares.
If I could only research stuff from a distance and then write in a compelling
way about that, that would be one thing; but as it is I have to live this out.
The story is a living breathing thing within my life before it hits the page,
and then once its on the page, and then on from there.
The Unholy is about
terrifying religious encounters. This is something that I was raised with,
fought my own battles about, treated people for clinically, and finally found
that I was smack dab in the middle of writing a story that could not be
stopped. It had to come out. Frightening, very frightening to live this close
to one’s work. There were times that it effected my family, and I had to wonder
whether I should withdraw; but we all talked and I had their support. I have it
now. The arms of creativity stretch long and influence oneself and others who
are in the emotional and psychic vortex of one’s existence. The energy, the
psychological amalgam, of this is so intense and persuasive that nothing short
of challenging and amazing can be said to even faintly describe it.
