Hey! just wanted to let the followers of this blog know that I moved my main blog over to my brand new one, 'A Lifestyle Created From Being Too Sassy!' Please follow that one if you already follow this one, because this will no longer be occupied. I love and appreciate the support from you guys! Click on the picture and you should be re-directed. Stay cute, xoxo 

You can read this beautiful interview over on the recovery series tab, or just clicking this link: Pysch2go.net 

This is the 40th story of the Mental Illness Recovery Series. Paul has been broken down since he was a young boy, but through cheer will, determination and help he has been able to turn his life around. This is his story: Psych2go.net

In part one you saw a brief introduction to Paul, and to why he started writing. In part two we will  uncover his personal advice for inspiring writers, or writers.

1.  When it comes to writing, any tips on what to do, and what not to do?

• My biggest tip is to be grateful every step of the way. Enjoy every second. A tip on what not to do, don’t do anything at all. Find something to do. Also, don’t listen to what anyone has to say about your career, stick to your true self. 
  

2.  Do you ever get writers block? If so, how do you overcome it?

• Oddly enough I don’t. (Just ask my editor) Yes, there are days when I don’t write because I am not feeling it, but during that time I'm visualizing pieces I am crafting. Like I said in the last question for a tip on what not to do, “don’t do anything at all," because in reality there is always something to do as a writer…either research, connect on social media, look at old pieces of your own work, try to find personal growth, and the list goes on. Writers block is a time for you to reflect upon your current status, but also gives you a time to do other things as well. In other words, it is a no.
  

3.  For any who do experience the dreaded writers block, do you have any tips?

• Yes, of course. Step outside of yourself. Expand your mind, heart and soul. Or in reserve look within yourself, discover something new.
  

4.  Which writers inspire you?

•  J.K Rowling. Love her.
  

5. What are all your current projects? 

• Well, are you ready for this? My first novel is with my personal editor. As you may of read in my bio I finished that this year. For the follow up to it, I am six chapters deep, with the final chapter written (which is epic!!) I have parts in between; now is the time to start bringing the story together. I have the next installment to Lost Hills waiting to be sent for an edit, as well as the next line of poems I will be releasing. Yeah, it's been a pretty busy few years, weeks, days, and even seconds! I am grateful I am supplied with so much inspiration.  

6. Where do you get inspiration? 

• My emotions, which stem from my life. I only write what I know, but I am always learning something new. It works hand, and hand to always having something to write about!   

 -Part 3 will be released next week-

Welcome all. 

Today I'm very lucky to be interviewing, Paul Travis. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview. Tell us a little bit about why you are so driven to do this as a career? 

1. No, thank you for being curious in my passion. I feel honored to be sharing this experience with you, but I always had my sights set on the show business platform. I love the arts, admire the people within that profession, what they do for the public and have since I can remember. It's something you just can't take away from me, so many people tried, and not one succeeded because it's who I am. 

You've acted, recorded music, write and your list goes on, what made you choose writing over all of the others?

1. It chose me. God has a funny way of showing people what they are meant to do. When I left the music & acting behind to focus solely on my writing so much joy came into my life. I fell in love, found amazing people to work with, got back my own happiness, learned so much about life and most importantly I found my truth. 

Do you ever see yourself getting back into those other professions that you did previsously? 

1. I am an unpredictable force. Nothing is taken off the table, so perhaps. 

Did you evolve creatively since you began? 

1. That is one the greatest parts within this journey, you always grow every single day! Life is your journey, make it an adventure by allowing yourself growth!

The launch to PaulTravis.Net was a success, how does that make you feel?

1. Words can't even describe the joy felt. I am truly so grateful to all participating, and taken part of this journey with me. 

How were you like in school? 

1. I was a bit socially awkward, which may come to a shocker for some reading this. I kept to myself. I usually was writing, or learning lines for a script I was reviewing for a show I had coming up that summer. I slacked with my studies because of all the stuff I had going on outside of school, but thank god I pulled it off somehow. To be honest, I am beyond grateful those days are behind me. They were torture. 

What advice would you give to your younger self?

1. I would tell him to not cry so much, and the darkness felt in his heart won't last forever. 

Which famous person, living or dead would you like to meet and why?

1. Marilyn Monroe. For as long as I can remember I always had some type of connection to her, and I would like to know what it is.
