From Art to Literature: Annette K Mazone's Inspirational Path to Becoming an Author

Yaya Diamond TV

#blackwomenpodcasters #yayadiamond Amazon link: https://amzn.to/4lIrCYF The Twentieth Century should have taught humanity how it is the world could spin out of control and be led into two World Wars, when a tyrannical ruler seizes power. But sorry to say the worst is yet to come, and here in the first decades of the Twenty-First Century. The current woes of society will lead to an antichrist. The "Global Leader" the Bible speaks of as "that Man of Sin," as it is written in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition"  The consequences thereof is what happens when the Bible-believing Christian becomes enemy number one in this "New Oppressive World Order." Here is the story of one such young woman in her midtwenties, whose horrific crimes against humankind is her love for the Lord and her belief in the Bible as it is written. She is but one of many and through the tremendous loss of family and love. With the long arm of the law ramping up a complete surveillance society, she manages to keep the faith and, along the way, finds the faith of others are everywhere, and as it is written in Genesis 50:20, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." ⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:  00:00:00 - Introduction to the Author's Journey and Inspiration 00:03:22 - Exploring Biblical Prophecies in Modern Context 00:06:22 - Character Development and Relatability in Writing 00:09:31 - Themes of Faith and Love in the Story 00:12:42 - Balancing Drama and Humor in Storytelling 00:15:38 - Writing for Younger Generations and Family Values 00:18:48 - Where to Find the Book and Final Thoughts https://podopshost.com/yayadiamond   ⚡ VidChapter AI generated these chapters, try it out https://vidchapter.com/?affiliate=yayadiamond Recommended podcast platform get 10% off: https://podopshost.com/register/?ref=yaya   Tools and Services I use: Appsumo has the best lifetime deals ever!!!

00:00hey guys it's me yaya diamond what's up peoples how you doing it is a great day and let me tell

00:20you i'm so very excited to be here i am here with an author an author that has a book i'm

00:26going to go ahead and put that on the screen for you so you could see it it is lily among thorns

00:32and i absolutely love the title of this book and it is by annette k mazone and she's here with us

00:38today thank you so much for joining us oh well thank you for having me oh no problem so you know

00:46i wanted to get down to the nitty-gritty here you know like you author same sentence maybe maybe not

00:54what was that like for you um if you could repeat the question that would be no it's okay i said you

01:02and author in the same sentence oh yeah was that something that you thought would ever happen i

01:09mean what is that like for you oh i see okay um well um my forte is um is art actually and um painting

01:23and that kind of thing and i just um as i put in my book actually for my character because they tell

01:32you to write what you know so i just paint my picture with words and um um as far as um being an author

01:42it was it was something that um i aspired to in a sense where i wanted to uh write something

01:53that i was hoping would connect with people in such a way where it would uplift them right and

02:02i want there to be um hopefully a message that would suit each individual that they would come

02:10they would um come away with something from my book to make them um know how actually how wonderful

02:20they are themselves so you know it's it's just um that's what i aspire to um when i wrote the book

02:30so but as far as uh becoming an author um it was a it was a process in a sense that it took me a while

02:40to um achieve this goal and so what i would come away with saying to that is to um the audience and

02:50is to never give up is to um aspire to your dreams and take one day at a time and in and god's good

02:59time you know it's his time just just keep on keeping on it and do do your best that's right

03:07never give up wow wow that's i mean yeah you got to keep going if you don't keep going you'll never get

03:15that's right yeah right so okay so what inspired you to write a story centered around the idea of a

03:21global leader and the concept of the man of sin from second thessalonians 2 3

03:28well um bible prophecy is um the bible does speak of as bible prophecy that christ is um um

03:43his his whole the bible is all prophecy the way i interpret it i i feel like we we're live we're

03:52constantly living in a time of prophecy and so for myself writing this book it took me to a place

04:03where um i wanted to bring the characters in a practical sense of what would happen to them

04:10in the as the bible says the last days which coincides with the book of revelation and there's

04:18some things from daniel and then there's little glimpses of it throughout the bible itself and i

04:24i put that in a sense if you ever watched a movie and you see the characters in the backdrop might be

04:31world war ii or but through that that movie you see how the character relates to the time that they're

04:38living in and my characters are relating to the time of the last days in the book of revelation and

04:45how it touches each individual life and i hope with that sense of how it touches them that that'll

04:53help the reader that if they're going through a difficult time or a challenging time you know that

05:00would help them in that in in their their situation so so that's how but i was always interested in

05:08prophecy and and the um the prophecies of the bible and so i wanted to take it into a practical sense

05:17that is so cool so okay so your story yeah no i mean you know to to do that it's just it's cool

05:25because i mean a lot of people don't understand um the bible prophecies they don't understand the bible

05:30they don't understand the the stories they don't understand all of that but you know you your story

05:35highlights a new oppressive world order what real world trends or events influenced this portrayal

05:42um what real events oh gosh well i would just um you know when i started writing the book believe it

05:53or not it was in the 1980s oh my gosh and i was a lot younger oh yeah but you know you go through life

06:00and you you're working and this and that so the the book was kind of like um well let's say i've got

06:08a couple hours here i'll work on it and actually um when i initially started writing i was um

06:17i call it god's country i used to uh go live and hiking and that thing and i would sit on a bridge or

06:27a boulder by a river and um and i would just write and that was you know my my cathedral by

06:36like i said god's country and so i would just let the characters take me to wherever it was like

06:44facing each new day i didn't i didn't have any preconceived i knew where the characters were going

06:50because i knew how the bible goes but i didn't know where my particular people were going to

06:56go until i had actually sat down with pen and paper and that was very exciting and i would get

07:03them into situations where i was like oh my goodness how am i going to get them out of this one

07:07so it's just kind of like the way you live you know you you wake up and you're having a wonderful

07:14morning and then you're slammed with a problem and you know and so so that's you know and sometimes

07:20i even felt bad the way i was you know my characters are even saying i don't know why this is happening

07:25to me but you know it's just relatable and you know there's humor and there's there's you know it's

07:34in the course of one conversation with a good friend you could be laughing and crying and you know

07:40that's that's the way my book goes so it's very relatable in that sense and very down to earth

07:47so wow do you see yourself in any of the characters do i well they say um you should write what you know

07:56so my character uh is a my main character is a woman and at the time i was even younger than my character

08:05when i started writing it um so i was relating to that and um the the family life that i had

08:15and and all that kind of thing she has similar to where i'm italian so she's italian and because i

08:23know how an italian my italian family acted so that's how her act if you know but i i try not to

08:30be too obvious if i didn't want you know um anybody to think i was writing about them or what

08:35what not but but um yes i i pretty much you know did things of that nature and um and so uh but she um

08:48she progresses in a way where um the feelings are real and the uh reactions that i give my character

09:00uh of course is the reaction that i would have and um so it's it's very relatable in that sense

09:10to who i am but um and even the other characters that i i wrote about it's very relatable to uh experiences

09:22that we all have with people but in some cases i took um things to a different level

09:32for the book like suspense and you know like a thriller kind of moment and and because we are

09:39the book is in the last days so you do have that you know that suspense kind of element to it

09:46and drama so um i guess the answer is yes in a lot of ways i did wow did you remember any of the

09:56emotions and and just uh things that you went through back then when you were starting in

10:03comparison to now i mean would you write the book differently oh um wow it's really different because

10:13so many things have happened to me in the course of that time from now right and really the only thing

10:19that i had to really keep up with because it is a technological age and back in the 80s we didn't

10:27have a lot of stuff that we have now no so i really had to update my book as far as technology goes

10:35but the way i see it the human comedy the human condition is always the same and the emotions are

10:42always the same and um so in that sense it remained the same and the aspirations and and the things

10:51that my main character feels and her name by the way is lily and i always like that name

10:59and there's a lily flower on the cover and she's holding this flower but this flower it could

11:06represent her represents her but i see more where the flower represents her

11:12faith because it's purity and so that represents her faith and that's what makes my character strong

11:21you know she she's um not very tall she's you know she's average in height and and so she's not

11:29strong physically but spiritually she's a powerhouse and not all the time i mean she has her moments

11:36you know where it's like like i said why is this happening to me but there's that that faith of hers

11:45that is that keeps her going that that is always there and so um that's the element so it's a love

11:55story i have a love story she has her love interest yes definitely and that it really is a love story

12:03because i've always loved biblical love stories like the old ones you know and so i thought well we need

12:09a really good biblical love story so that's this i think is really good and um of course i wrote it but

12:19but anyways it really is and um her love interest but it's also a love story between her

12:27and her and her face and so um the two mesh and it's uh it's really you know it's it takes you to places

12:40where um you know it's very dramatic and but um through the course of through the book she

12:49she she has an encounter with the authorities and they manage they take her to um incarceration and

12:59she manages to you know and she meets her one true love and they go through a lot of things and but

13:07um so it it really is very dramatic it's it's you know and it does have its element where it's

13:15it's it's also uh humorous in a sense where you use your sense of humor to um alleviate some of the

13:24tension that you're feeling yeah you know i absolutely love innocent love stories it was

13:31always something for me to you know as a young child to take a book and usually i did like either

13:37mystery you know what i mean or love i absolutely love loves my mom used to buy me these books they were

13:42christian books uh stories of love friendship things like that and um i would go to the beach

13:48and sit down on the rocks and read the book um it was just something that was just you know i had to do

13:56it it wasn't it was like calling me you know what i mean uh yeah definitely yeah definitely your book

14:03can it be read by someone who's a christian and a non-christian i think so i think um it's um

14:12both for all audiences i think it would um i think it's even though it has a lot of tension and a lot

14:19of drama and there's um you know the bad guys are really super bad guys if that's the way i can say

14:27it i don't know but it's rated g bad guys okay okay because i just wanted to make it family friendly

14:34and in a sense where um you know if you ever watch the movies from the 1930s or an old world war ii movie

14:43where you have all the tension and the drama and everything but you can it's still family friendly

14:48well that's that's the way i i i wrote the book and that's what i like actually you know yeah definitely

14:55so yes and so um you know to answer that question i would say uh yes i think everyone would enjoy it

15:05and it was a wonderful ride for me and this is only part one oh okay yes part two is out i have part two

15:15out and i'm yes it's a trilogy i'm currently working on part three oh my gosh so you know it's the love

15:24story continues wow wow well i guess i was working on it for so long that i got a trilogy out of it so

15:32yes that's how it works though i mean sometimes you just don't know you know you just don't right

15:37you don't know you know i look at today's world with everything that's out there for these young

15:42children and and i'm so happy that i raised my children a little bit young i mean back you know a

15:48little bit further back i mean not too far back but a little bit further back in the 90s and early 2000s

15:54um and they didn't really go through what these children are going through today with all this

15:59suggestion and the and the music and a lot of the stuff you know what i mean how important is it for

16:08your book and books like yours to be out there for the children to actually read and keep their innocence

16:14um i think it's very important i think it's um it's about time that the creative um element of society

16:33takes back you know and makes it family family friendly in a sense but it doesn't lose any of the um

16:41the uh content right that the content is really really good and it comes through where you know

16:52the reader is going to be held in suspense and want to turn to that next page and want to see what

16:59happens you know you don't have to sacrifice um any of the creativity just because you're made you're

17:09writing or your painting or whatever your medium is you don't have to sacrifice any of that to make it

17:16excellent and good and so that's what i tried i didn't try to do it just flowed that way yeah and um i think um

17:29it's it's just uh something that that needs to be done and it's it's very very vital to to have that

17:41in society because what you said with the younger generation and i i think maybe that's why i did start

17:51writing it when i was the younger generation yeah and so it's very relatable to um a younger generation

17:59in the character she is younger she's 25 and you know so it's very relatable and i think with her

18:08parents and her family home life which i said was similar you know to mine and to a lot of people and

18:17so um i i think that would resonate with the younger audience but also um as you read part two and then

18:27you get into the next book you also need the parents you also need the sibling and you see the interaction

18:37between all these different people and uh i think that's relatable to bring in a you know the respectful

18:47attitude and the um the real you have to keep it real also yeah so those are the those are i think

18:59it's very important i really do that's wonderful i do too i think it's important i think it's important

19:05not only for the children to you know have something innocent and that they can actually see real love

19:11but also for the parents that don't have to worry about what these children are reading nowadays it's and

19:16seeing it's absolutely crazy thank you so much in that for being on the show today
