Author Interview – R L McKenzie – The Tears Of Wednesday
On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, author R L McKenzie talks about the inspiration behind her new book, The Tears Of Wednesday.
When did you first want to write a book?
I always wanted to write, this was my childhood dream, although my style of writing looked somewhat different back then, fairy tales but still with adventures.
Enid Blyton’s Famous Five is when I got the writing bug.
When did you take a step to start writing?
My first steps were when my dad bought me my first typewriter at age 10.
How long did it take to complete your book from idea to the release?
It was a 3 year process.
I would say it took me to devote a part of my soul every day for 15 months to finish writing it, and then a year and a half until my publication date on the 23rd February, 2023.
What made you want to write The Tears Of Wednesday?
I was recovering from life changing surgery in late 2018, so, really, I wrote for survival and escapism. I needed to adapt to a new life, and God blessed me to be able to write with the time which was given to me to do so.
What were your biggest challenges writing The Tears Of Wednesday?
For me, being a naturally private person, the most difficult artistic process of this journey was social media and learning how to grow a thick skin.?When your work is exposed to the public to be judged/reviewed, I find overwhelming.
