How to Write a Psychological Thriller with Brian Finney

from Become a Writer Today · host Bryan Collins

In this episode, I catch up with Brian Finney to understand how he transitioned from writing non-fiction to writing fiction and how he manages his day. Many writers work on the side while working a demanding day job. Brian has gone the other way. He’s now a professor emeritus at California State University, which means he doesn’t lecture at the university, so he has time to write his psychological thrillers during the week. I was interested in how somebody would approach having a massive chunk of free time to write. I dug into Brian’s writing process to figure out how much time he spends writing and how he gets himself into a state of flow.In this episode, we discuss:Brian's writing processCurrent events and conspiracy theories that drive Brian's storiesWriting toolsReactions from Brian's former studentsHow Brian promotes his booksAdvice on finding time to writeTechniques and strategies for getting into the flowResources:Brian Finney WebsiteMoney MattersDangerous ConjecturesSupport the showIf you enjoyed the show please leave a review on Apple.
