We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jamieson Wolf. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jamieson below.

Jamieson , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I have written all my life. I always told stories as a child and won competitions in school for my writing. I have had a live long love affair with writing and stories and my room was always filled with books. I loved to lose myself in stories and the worlds that they created in my mind.

It wasn’t until I was nineteen that I looked towards writing as a career. I had written a couple of Harry Potter fanfiction stories and wondered what it would be like to tell my own tales in a world that I had created instead of a world created by another writer.

As soon as I turned away from fanfiction, I felt a sense of freedom. It was a heady experience writing my own characters in my own worlds. I’ve been writing ever since and that was over twenty years ago.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I got my start writing romance novels.

I wrote about the love that I wanted in my relationships, an all consuming type of love that filled the mind, body and spirit with need. After writing quite a few of them, I began to realize that I wrote about men like myself. They were “broken” in some way and were searching for someone to heal and fix them.

I turned away from writing romance novels and moved into fiction. It gave me a bit more freedom as I wasn’t obligated to write with a formula in mind. I wrote horror and suspense, serial novels, and settled in the paranormal and fantasy genre. I loved writing magical realism. It grounded the books I wrote, but anything could still happen. Anything was possible.

I even tried my hand at writing non-fiction. I started with a blog about living with cerebral palsy. When I was diagnosed with relapse and remitting multiple sclerosis, I eventually turned my hand to writing a memoir. That memoir became Little Yellow Magnet which was well received.

I’ve never been a writer to stick with one genre. I write poetry, fiction, romance, horror and science fiction. I’ve even written children’s stories and young adult novels.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

I wish I had known about writers groups earlier on in my writing career.

I wrote on my own for a long time before I was invited to join my first writers group. It’s quite something to learn that there are other writers just like you that are struggling or worried or have no idea what they are doing. Writers groups take away that feeling of loneliness and help you realize that every writer has the same worries or doubts about their work. It’s a powerful thing to realize that there is a whole community of writers out there in the world and they can be a guide, a coach or a friend as you try to find your way.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

For me, it’s hearing from someone who has read one of my books and how much is has affected them. Several of my friends on social media started as readers and it’s a gift to make that kind of connection through your work with someone who has read and seen something in themselves in your words.
