Authors Speak
This Succeed and Soar series invites writers to answer questions about their artforms and special inspirations.
Welcome Hilary Hauck
Hilary, what phrase inspires your writing and life?
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline
How have Gaiman’s words helped your writing, your life?
Growing up I struggled tremendously with the feeling I was the only person who didn’t fit in. This sense of unworthiness was my dragon. I journeyed for many years before I believed in myself which is why my characters tend to be on a formidable path to beat their dragons. My dream would be to inspire readers to discover their own inner amazing, feel comfortable in their own skin, and totally rock this single chance we get at life.
How these words inspired The Things We’ll Never Have
The Things We’ll Never Have is the story of three women who have suffered the loss of a man they love. When their paths cross, they uncover a shocking truth that makes a mockery of how they’ve lived their lives for the person they lost, not for themselves. They must each face their inner dragons if they’re to pursue the lives they truly want and deserve.
Sample Text:
“Yet in my weariness, I settle for contemplating how odd it is that you don’t notice the world around you. The everyday, the sights we take for granted. We regret yesterday and how we did things, we worry about tomorrow, but when we do we give time to today?”
