Did you ever have a tough time writing any of the emotional scenes in your novels? They can go to some pretty dark places, and some of them really stuck with me.
Shaun David Hutchinson
Absolutely. A lot of the scenes are inspired by things I went through when I was younger, and going back into them is tough. But it's also cathartic to be able to view them from the other side. And I hope, that even as tough as they sometimes are for readers, that they'll also be able to see them from the other side and know that there's always hope.

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
