Five Things to Know About Author Joi
Miner
When did
you know that you were destined to be a writer? I have always loved to
write, but I think I realized I was meant to do more with my writing when I
started to get paid to write poems for my classmates in middle school and high
school. It was around that time, too, that my creative writing teacher tried to
get me suspended for plagiarism, because she said my writing was too good to
have been written by a high school senior. I figured that could have gone one
of two ways, I could have taken it as an insult and never written again or I
could have, as I did, take it as a compliment and use it as motivation. I
dedicated my first poetry collection to her.
Tell us a little
about Vices? Vices is an erotic drama. The main
character, Bonnie Jones, takes you along on her journey to rediscovering
herself after leaving an abusive marriage. You get to see her get into some
very interesting fixes, get her heart broken, and find herself massaging away
the pain and case of the lonelies by entertaining the company of the opposite
sex. Vices is what I like to call
“autobiographical fiction.” It’s my life with a little bit extra thrown into
it. It’s a very raw story, but I feel like it’s relatable. We all have been
where Bonnie is or know someone who has.
It’s my first novel and was picked up for publication by Nayberry
Publications. It’s set to be released on October 31st of this year,
my 33rd birthday. *Gasp I just told you my age*
Now tell us
something personal about you. What is your favorite color? Blue. When I was in kindergarten,
they told me that pink was for girls and blue was for boys. But, I liked blue.
I’ve made it my business since then to wear as much blue as possible.
Do you
write full-time or do you have another profession? I wish I was a
full-time writer. For the last two years, I have been employed with Sykes
powered by Alpine Access as a full-time work at home Customer Care
Professional. I am also a full-time English/Creative Writing student at
Southern New Hampshire University Online in my Senior Year (Class of 2015.
Woohoo!). As if that weren’t enough, I am Owner and Co-Founder of a small
for-profit company, Poetic Advisory, LLC.
What
was the best advice you have received as a writer? The
best writing advice that I have ever received was to never take writing advice.
Lol. Everyone is different. No one can tell you how to be your most original
self. There are even debates about the basic writing techniques, so you need to
find and do what works best for you.
