You guys might remember me mentioning my blogging accountability partner, Micah, in one of my earlier blog posts. Micah is a fellow writer, blogger, and follower of the Lord. We met on Instagram (I knew who he was from the writing platform I’d been a part of briefly), and we started emailing. Then, he asked if I wanted to be his blogging accountability partner. I was hesitant at first, but I agreed, and I couldn’t be more grateful for him.
Anyway, today, I’m interviewing Micah. (He also interviewed me on his blog. 😁 Go check that out here.)
About Micah
Bio
When did you start writing and what inspired you to write?
I started writing when I was nine—we had this Write Your Own Story Book, and after checking its empty pages and sections (which were all colorful), I decided to write in it. The blank pages of a child-friendly book with multiple story topics (superhero, mystery, adventure, etc.) drew me in.
What genre do you write in and why?
I write fiction and action/adventure + fantasy/speculative fiction, specifically. I enjoy the freedom in creating my own world and everything else it brings. That includes not worrying about Earth’s boundaries.
What genre do you read in and why?
Well, I don’t necessarily search for a genre, I just read something I find intriguing. However, I lean toward more of the fantasy fictional kind of stories.
What do you blog about?
I blog about writing, I post encouragement and poetry, miscellaneous posts, faith-based posts, and some life-themed posts.
What are your favorite things about blogging?
I enjoy creating content, writing newsletters, and I love when my readers respond.
What is the biggest thing you've learned through your writing journey?
I learned to have a ‘why’ as a writer and to write for His Majesty. Also, writing is a form of loving and serving people.
What's something you're excellent at in writing and something you don't excel so much in?
I excel at imperfection and inconsistency while I don’t excel in perfection and consistency. I honestly don’t know where I excel, but when perfectionism trips me over my simple phrases, that’s a problem. So, I might call that something I don’t excel in.
What project(s) are you working on (summarize them in a sentence)?
Zest Adventures On Zeppadar Book 1: Brokenhearted
The main character must face the grief of losing his parents while trying to survive on a planet he’s never been to.
The Adventures of Georgie
A sixteen-year-old documentarist with a cringey Bri’ish accent loves animals and recording them; he broadcasts animals—friends join along the way, and he hopes people will love his voice.
I have two others, but they’re technically dormant right now.
What do you want to accomplish with your writing?
I want to become a published author, help further the kingdom (FTK) with my writing (by speaking life through my writing), and I also want the satisfaction of people reading and enjoying my books.
What is one piece of advice you have for other young writers?
I believe you should find your why as a writer (or make sure you have it) and always write for God. It’s never in vain if you write for Him.
Conclusion
That’s it for this interview! Micah actually interviewed me as well (on his blog), so if you want to check that out, here’s the post. Until next time, happy reading!
