Sealey: Whoa! it has
words.. sweet.
Ruuna: Wow, Sealey! I didn't know you could sing too! Dang!
Fawnah: Sealey... is there anything you don't do well?
Sealey: (Big Grin)...
Alcina: dance!
Sealey: Alright... I don't dance so well.
Sealey: Here's a
question for all of you... If you had to pick one of us (and only one) to go on
an adventure with, who would it be and where would you go?
Jessica Sawa ok I choose Lord Gilroy (the banner helps hehe) and
the adventure well are we a G rated or R rated interview (wink) (wink) BWAHAHA
Gilroy: (clears his throat and fidgets)
Jessica Sawa *giggles and blushes* did I say that out loud? oops
my bad... (wink) (sticks out tongue)
Sealey: If Elves could blush... I think Gilroy would be
there! LOL
Alcina: Don't worry, Jessica
Sawa... I understand completely. ;)
Khevin: Thank you.
David
R Bennett I'd go with
Fawnah
Fawnah: LOL.. really? I don't even know what to say. :)
David
R Bennett You gotta have a
nice guy to adventure with. Maybe even hook you up with one of my special
friends.
Dimitri: I think she's already "hooked up" my
friend.
David
R Bennett oh, didn't know.
Dimitri: (Big Grin) Now you do. I understand. She is lovely.
David
R Bennett *Roll my eyes*
How'd she get in here?!?
Sealey: How indeed? Man... you can't slip it past me. I
don't know about these other guys here, but I'm pretty sure they noticed too.
Ruuna: Maybe they can be penpals.
David
R Bennett Not me a
character from one of my series came in. She's a ten year old girl named
Michelle Carpenter with psychic powers
Micah: Hmmm... interesting.
David
R Bennett Michelle:
How dare you get me and David mixed up mister (pointing at Sealey)
David
R Bennett Oh, Sealey hope
you don't have to face her wrath...
Sealey: (hands up) I didn't get you mixed up.
"Man" is an expression. I've
always been better with my hands anyway.
C.e. Wolff is going.
C.e. Wolff
Thanks for the invite!
Ann Snizek Sure! Did you want to ask any questions? I'm here
longer than I planned (on the computer)... I thought I'd be gone and using the
phone by now.
C.e. Wolff
I'm new to your writing, so I haven't had an opportunity to delve into your
work yet. I do congratulate you on all of your wonderful feedback and positive
reviews. I will download ASAP!!!
Ann Snizek Well, if you look over what has already gone on today
and feel like adding to it... GO FOR IT!
Pin and Krissa: Oh!! I
love Adele!!
Sealey: YES!!!!
Hayle Ana
Garcia do you have a
favorite song Micah
Micah: Hmmm. Let me think about that. I like lots of music.
Nester
what's the coolest human gadget?
Nester: Ummm... sorry, I was eating. I like the camera.
Sealey: He means the video cameras... He's fascinated with movies.
David R Bennett Really, are there any others besides the video camera that you find fascinating?
Nester: Cars are faster than even my horses, but I prefer the horses. Video games are interesting. I find it humorous how elves are depicted in them. I'm not used to seeing them so short!
David R Bennett Yeah, I can see how that can be hilarious. Have you given phones a try.
Nester: Not really. I've been telepathic all my life. Phones
don't work on Nyssa because we have no space junk.
David
R Bennett LOL
Nester: Was that funny? Did I say something wrong?
Sealey: Nope...
Nester: Oh. I also like the TVs that aren't TVs... Like what
we are using now. Computers? They are extremely interesting!
Gilroy: Yes, computers are fascinating. They allow us to
communicate without even knowing were everyone is. It also holds an amazing
collection of libraries for researching.
David
R Bennett True, so true.
We can communicate from over great distances.
Gilroy: I have great reach with my communications, but I'm
told that computers are what makes this visit possible for Lonnie.
David
R Bennett That's good to
hear. I don't want you getting lost on Nyssa, Ann.
Ann Snizek I couldn't get lost with this group!
David
R Bennett Let's hope not.
It's got to be a lot different there than here.
Nester: Excuse me sir... While the technology is different,
the terrain is quite similar to many areas on this planet from what I've seen.
I'm not sure about certain areas, but the general countryside is similar.
Plants are different.
David
R Bennett Take care of
Ann. I'd hate to send in the PIs to come get her.
David
R Bennett Paranormal
Investigators
Ann Snizek Thanks David. I'll be fine. I've been there
before.
David
R Bennett that's good
Micah: Mr. David R Bennett...
David
R Bennett yes, Micah?
Micah: If you had Paranormal Investigators go to Nyssa,
they would be overwhelmed. The planet itself is where we draw our power. We
have genetically linked with it and it with us. Therefore, it is a paranormal
planet... How would your investigators cope when everyone and everything is
paranormal?
David
R Bennett Some of them are
kinda Paranormal themselves. One's got electrostatic powers, one's psychic,
one's a healer, one's tech master, & one's a fighter with more than 300
years of referable knowledge.
David
R Bennett They are also
all angels born in human flesh.
Micah: We will have to discuss this topic further some
time. It is most interesting.
Micah: For instance... we have the Israj: king of gods...
and I won't go into the other names right now... but I do want to talk to you
about it.
David
R Bennett Not a problem, I
will talk to your secretary and see what we can do about setting up a meeting
between your team and mine.
Micah: I know.
Sealey: LOL
David
R Bennett Micah, I am just
a Chronicler myself.
David
R Bennett You never know,
Sealey you might get along with them.
Micah: Yes, sir. But I have found chroniclers to be more
aware of certain things that others seem to miss.
Sealey: I might at that. (Big Grin)
I'm not that hard to get along with.
Pin: LOL
David
R Bennett Let's hope not,
I know that my team wants to get out of the doldrums they are in. They hate the
situation they're currently in.
Micah: perhaps they need to look at things with fresh eyes.
David
R Bennett They are trying
but they go through a lot of trials and tribulations that are hard to take.
Micah: I can certainly understand that, sir.
Krissa: yeah! That's for sure.
David
R Bennett I know you two,
especially, can understand. Going from one foster house to another must be
rough. But Destiny has lost her parents but found the rest of her family which
she knew naught of.
Krissa: We've done that too. After all, we have Ruuna now
and Fawnah and even Gilroy.
Gilroy: Me?
Krissa: Of course you... dope. You're Ruuna's brother, even
if it is only half. So, you're family.
David
R Bennett All the
Paranormal Investigators that I chronicle are family, if not by blood, by
marriage. So they are all family.
Krissa: Family is nice.
David
R Bennett I thinks so...at
times...there are also those times when you want to strangle your family too.
But I think that is all families.
Lonnie: Then you have family that's closer than blood.
David
R Bennett
Sometimes...There are times I want to draw their blood too, but that's for a
different time... Anyways, go to go. Been nice talking to you all.
Everyone: Thank you... nice talking to you too.
David
R Bennett see you later.
Jessica Sawa OMG OMG OMG!! Can I blog the meeting between Micah
and David R Bennett? PLEASE Ann Snizek and David????
Jessica Sawa LOL
Tunuftol
We will have to talk about it.
Okay
party people! I have just a few minutes to get ready. Then we are going to go
eat! (No offense Jessica Sawa... Your spread was
lovely, but all those growing boys finished it off on me.) Then I will be back
on to see if there are any questions from those in different time zones that
haven't gotten to join us yet.
Any last questions before break???
Any last questions before break???
Jessica Sawa I just had Steak and sweet potato and sauteed
mushrooms and salad. LIKE A BOSS!! lol....
Tunuftol Sure rub it in!

Tunuftol
(Sticks out tongue)
The
Tunuftol family of friends wants to thank everyone who joined us today... Those
who read and enjoyed, but even more those that brought questions that made it
possible. We all had a great time and hope you did too.
Tunuftol
For anyone that just got here: if you have questions that haven't been
answered, go ahead and ask. Brydon has gone to bed and Pin is talking with
Lonnie.
Jessica Sawa had such a great day with you all!! xoxo see you in
book 3 by Tuesday or so. (wink)
I
didn't get a chance to attend today since I was busy all day. I had a few
questions, which you don't have to answer right away, but I'm a new writer and
was curious about a few things.
1.
I just recently heard about the Snowflake Method. Are there any other writing
strategies other than this?
2.
I find it difficult to devise a story off hand. How does someone approach this
when having writer's block?...
3.
Is it necessary to research all facts before writing a fictional story? (To
legitimize certain parts of your book.)
4.
I get so wrapped up in details of names, etc. and totally miss out on a plot,
or do not detail enough about some aspects of a story, and I wish it had more
flow. I just wrote two kid's stories, which came to me without any issue, so it
seems I wasn't meant to write more mature content. Does writing improve more
over time, or should I stick to what I know?
5.
I'm in need of an illustrator for two of my books. How do I approach this
without spending an exorbitant amount of money? (Simple water colours or
pencil)
Thank
you so much for any help you might offer. I am away for a few days this week so
if you could respond by message that would be fabulous.
Tunuftol WOW! What great questions! I can answer a little now,
but it is harder by phone. First let me say that my answers are from my
experiences and observations. 1. I have never heard of the Snowflake Method,
but I like the name. I do know there are multiple strategies for writing
though. I don't know what they are called. I will have to look this up now that
you peeked my interest.
2. What I do is keep random
ideas on index cards that I carry with me. That way no matter where I am, if an
idea comes I can write it down and go over them when I am stumped. If that
doesn't help, I either go to another project for a while or read one of the
books from my TBR list.
3. I will say it depends on
your story line and characters. I will go into this and the last two more on
Wednesday when I get back on the computer. (Big Grin)
4. Writing DOES improve over time. The more you write, the better you get... especially if you have someone helping you by pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of your work. I feel that it is always better to stick with what feels comfortable, but that doesn't mean to be lax or lazy about it. You can still push yourself, just don't make your work suffer by forcing it somewhere it doesn't want to go.
5. As far as illustrators go, if you can't do it yourself then you will most likely need to pay for it. (Unless you are lucky enough to win something or get a friend to do it for you.) But the less expensive ideas I've heard - but haven't tried - are going to schools (colleges, trade schools, etc.), placing an add for local artists, going to local art galleries or festivals where art is shown. It depends on the type of art you are looking for and how much you consider a lot.
Sorry
I missed this today. I have book 3 and can't wait to read it. Books 1 & 2
were sooooo fantastic....I can only imagine what Ann has in store to make it
through book 6! I can't wait to read each one! She's so awesome and her writing
is amazing! Congrats on all the success Ann and I wish you much more!
David
R Bennett She has a few
things in mind past the series for these characters too, Jodie. And something
tells me that she'll get her series past six books.
Tunuftol
Thank you Jodie! It means so much to me that you all like my books so much.
(heart) I hope I don't disappoint anyone. (Big Grin)
Stop by here tomorrow for the last day of the tour for
The Jewel of Nirel: Tunuftol Book 3
