Jason Bulsa's author interview, originally published by Smashwords on December 21, 2018. Reposted in full.
Q: Where are you from? (the captured interview page opens mid-answer)
South Carolina. I attended an open-air gang prison school like Steve Jobs named, Whitlock junior high. I was saved from most of the violence because I was in the gifted program and my older brother was the white male stabilizer of the school. He routinely sent groups to the ER daily. He fought usually multiple assailants twice a day.
Q: When did you first start writing?
2001
Q: What's the story behind your latest book?
All other psychology that was international bestsellers weren't helping people. They are an academic feel good non “self-help” books. They don't give the reader anything to digest for change. Only static thoughts. Those books are thinking psychology, not psychology for the patient to do, thought processing psychology. I was compelled to help. Change comes from re-arranging not repetitive thought.
Q: What motivated you to become an indie author?
Platforms. I need a publisher but, don't know how. Simon and Schuster hardback is the goal. Software to make an index. I had to start somewhere or help no one. My book is not posted on iTunes or Google or FB ads. If not produced by a publisher or on the 4 global platforms it's limited but, if I didn't post it would never help anyone.
Q: How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I've made some sales. Help more people on this platform. This questionnaire is helpful. Anything that gets the knowledge out helps.
Q: What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Knowing I contributed and helped. I God uses bad things to improve the world permanently. My writing is used to move people into a better place. The voices in my head think me for getting it done. I still am waiting for motivation to do more.
Q: What do your fans mean to you?
My fans mean they are better, I helped improve their minds. They will be kinder to the children of the world. We have to understand then enter into the suffering of others in order to convert a negative into a positive.
Q: What are you working on next?
I'm still waiting for an agent to find me or me them to get the book up from the 67 pages to the original 138. The book should have sold over 50,000,000 copies by now and motivate me to continue. I have 100's of new psychology to process into newer, better, emotional memory processing tools.
Q: Who are your favorite authors?
Anthony Robbins. He writes crap that people buy like crazy but, doesn't help.
Q: What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Waking up and having another day; knowing there is change to make in the world. I learn new jokes, there are happy women to spend time with, knowing the world is moving more rapidly to completion.
Q: When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I watch a lot of youtube videos. I use to spend way to much time on quora.com. Most of my time is spent in bed in psychical pain. I often have dinner with friends and family. I research my international travel adventures to go on soon. I'd like to travel the world, speaking internationally promoting my book and work on the next ones.
Q: How do you discover the ebooks you read?
All most exclusively I discover books to read from amazon kindle top 100. A few I find from magazines, newspaper, or online ads.
