For our UpComing Young Authors I was able to sit down with Anthony Vernon, a 17 year old writer, film maker. He has several projects already under his belt and many more to come in the future. Here we get to know Anthony Vernon and learning his ambitions as a young writer with the world under his fingertips.
1) How are you Anthony and How excited are you to be apart of Write Mag? A- I ' m good enjoying life. I am always excited to do any project. However, this project has me more excited then others. I have never done work for a magazine so it ' s another great experience.
2) First of all, Thank you for sitting down and conducting this Interview with us. What made you become a writer? Do you have anyone that inspires you to write? How did you come across script writing? A- I grew up uncertain of what I wanted to do with my life. I had some many interests I would flip flop all the time on what I was set to do. I began to write songs because I enjoyed writing essays for school and I loved music. I soon lost interest in song writing because I could not truly release what I want to with a couple song lyrics. Then I decided to do research into my favorite cartoon creators especially Seth Macfarlane. Learning more about people like Seth made me want to be a writer for animated TV shows. I finally committed to the idea of being a writer. I still prefer script writing however I also go about writing in other formats to expand myself.
3) I read that your a script writer, Do you use dialogs with others around you in your scripts? If so, do you use it as a source of inspiration? A- Yes funny jokes or funny words spoken by my friends often land in scripts. Sometimes entire scripts are based off a stupid thing a friend if mine said.
4) What are your other Interests if you could list them all for us? A- My specific interests include; Family Guy( tv show), Frank Ocean( musician), Adventure Time( tv show), Miami Dolphins( football), SpongeBob SquarePants( tv show), Kanye West( musician), OFWGKTA( rap group), Green Day( musical group), Maroon 5( musical group), Miami Heat( basketball), and I love World History
5) What are you ambitions as a young Author and what advice would you give to the young writers of this generation? A- any young writer needs to know a few things. No idea is a stupid idea as long as it can be made entertaining. Next if you love what your writing and put a lot if effort in your work eventually someone will like it.
6) Aside from work, what do you like to do for leisure and do you have any mottos? A- during my leisure I enjoy to run. To most running is not very relaxing but I enjoy the activity. I also enjoy watching sports like football, basketball, and track. Lastly I enjoy sitting in my room alone with my headphones on listening to my music.
Thank you For sitting down with us and letting us interview you.
