Take-Charge Living: How to Recast Your Role in Life…One Scene at a Time – Marion Kramer Jacobs
FASCINATING AUTHORS: Tell us a little bit about your book.
Author: Change is inevitable in our lives. This self-help book unlocks the keys to taking charge and successfully changing a behavior or attitude when doing so will improve your life.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What inspired you to create a work of non-fiction?
Author: As a clinical psychologist who has helped lots of people change over the years, I knew that with the right information, there are many changes people can make on their own. I love putting that information out there for the public to use.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What did you do to prepare – such as research – to write your book?
Author: I drew on my years of experience as an educator and clinician, as well as on some fascinating findings from neuroscience research.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: How did you decide which information to present in your book?
Author: It was a logical progression.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What do you hope people will gain from reading your book?
Author: Two things. One is learning how to change a behavior that is not working for you. The other, a broader goal, is learning how to adopt a “take-charge living” attitude to how you run your whole life.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: How long did it take you to write the book – (was it longer or less time than you expected)?
Author: At least a couple of years. I really don’t recall anymore.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: Did you seek the support of a writer’s group or class?
Author: No.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What surprised you the most about this process?
Author: The hard work of promoting and publicizing the book.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What tips would you offer to anyone writing nonfiction for the first time?
Author: Be an expert on what you’re talking about.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: What can we look forward to in your next book?
Author: I’m not sure books are the way to go anymore. Shorter syndicated pieces seem more in tune with today’s public.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: Is there anything we haven’t covered that you would like to include?
Author: Change is a process. It takes a plan, practice and time. My book offers the roadmap for how to go through that process successfully.
FASCINATING AUTHORS: Thank you for taking the time to be part of this interview!
