Thank you for this interview, Dana. Can we begin by asking you what a "reflective life writer" is?
Yes. I am a reflective life writing specialist who specializes in the art of discovery. Through the light of reflection I am able to look into one's life and discover meaning and its connection to one's existence. I am able to look inside feelings through expression (photos) and experiences. Emotions are a medium for reflection and my reflective writing explores the relationship between an individual and their feelings. Through my expressive writing (which is always written in first person) I enable people to see their reflection in love and life.
You speak of a "mystical spirit." Can you explain what this means?
It is our higher self, the part of us that never reminds us of our limitations, the part of us that hedges around our human experiences and leads us to surprise.
Your book is about a woman who fires her conscience. Can you give us a description of this woman and what she does to fire her conscience?
Jenna is a woman who reached into her closet of inhibition everyday to dress in timid-ware. Jenna wanted the chance to know herself which is the greatest discovery on earth, but her conscience was an obstacle. She finally decided to slip out of conscience and into something more comfortable, her life. And then, one day in a conversation with her conscience she told her conscience to hop out at the curb...she fired her conscience. Jenna re-hires her conscience later on in the story, but it is on her terms and after she has taught her conscience a little something about love (love of one's self and one's feelings).
How did you come up with such an interesting title?
The Pink Forest is an enlightening oasis.
Where did you get the inspiration to write your book?
From my feelings.
Why did you choose to write in your certain genre?
Actually this book fits so many genres. I found it very difficult to choose one ---how does one chronicle life?
What message are you trying to get across with the publication of this book?
Justice for emotional freedom.
