Interview with Marlyse Tchamko
Author of Seeds of Purpose
Do you have a routine or something you do to get you in the mood to write?
Yes, I do. Before I start writing, I like to take a moment to pray and center myself. Writing this book is not just a creative process for me, it’s something spiritual. I want to make sure I’m aligned with God and that what I’m writing is truly helpful and guided.
Once I’m focused, I remove distractions and get into a quiet environment where I can think clearly and write with intention.
Do you have a special song, drink, or food you enjoy while you are writing?
I usually prefer a calm atmosphere, sometimes with soft instrumental or worship music in the background. It helps me stay focused without being distracted by lyrics.
As for drinks, I tend to keep it simple, just water or tea. Nothing too heavy. I like to keep my mind clear and my environment peaceful while I write.
How do you know what to write?
I don’t just rely on inspiration, I rely on direction. I spend time reflecting, praying, and thinking about the real needs of the audience I’m writing for.
For “Seeds of Purpose”, I focused on the questions teenagers are asking: “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, and “What should I do with my life?” From there, I write in a way that answers those questions clearly and practically.
What does a typical writing day look like for you?
A typical writing day is very focused and intentional. I don’t always write for long hours, but when I do write, I make sure it’s meaningful.
I usually start by reviewing what I wrote previously, then continue building on it. Some days are more productive than others, but I’ve learned that consistency matters more than perfection.
Do you do anything special to celebrate after writing “the end”?
Honestly, finishing a book is a special moment, but for me, it’s not the end, it’s the beginning of the next phase.
I take a moment to be grateful, reflect on the journey, and then start thinking about how the message will reach people. That’s what matters most to me.
How long does it take you to write a book?
It varies, because writing is not just about putting words on paper, it’s about developing the message.
For this book, the process took time because I wanted to be intentional. There were moments of writing, pausing, refining, and making sure everything was clear and impactful. It’s not rushed, instead it’s built carefully.
What is the most difficult part of writing a book?
The most difficult part is making something deep and meaningful, also simple and easy to understand.
Especially when writing for teenagers, you have to communicate powerful truths in a way that is clear, engaging, and relatable. That takes thought, effort, and a lot of revision.
But it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of the process.
