I love it!<br />Linda: we're almost twins - I really struggled between characters and plot so it's a toss up.<br /><br />Laura: You don't know who Ryan Reynolds is? Honey, grab a DVD of The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and enjoy!<br /><br />Lisa: Sales are always what we strive for - I hope many, many come your way. And I won't tell the hubby about Johnny. Our secret!<br /><br />Ruth: I never thought I'd like Twitter either but it does grow on you. And Johnny seems to be winning out here!<br /><br />Indigo: There is definitely something to starting off your book career with a wildfire - I hope yours will be hard to contain! And you've hit the nail on the head with Johnny - can you imagine the amazing conversations you could have with him? Wonder what he's reading now?<br /><br />Thank you so much for playing! I should do this game every once in a while. I'm going to need more hard choice writer questions tho!out of the wordworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919130781982475478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772560852349924056.post-28198224748570945352010-05-13T16:05:50.210-07:002010-05-13T16:05:50.210-07:00Puts things into perspective...alrighty:
1. Take ...Puts things into perspective...alrighty:<br /><br />1. Take off like wildfire, there wouldn't be any stopping after that.<br /><br />2.Fascinating, complex characters that make you want to learn more about them. I love describing people and pulling emotions out.<br /><br />3. First two books I wrote in a flash. This latest I'm taking more time with and it seems to be working for me. So slow & steady, not more than a few months though.<br /><br />4. Good reviews, build into a steady profit. <br /><br />5. Blog twice a week (which honestly I'm lucky if it's once a week.) Twitter doesn't have much of an appeal to me. <br /><br />6. Johnny Depp, he's not only good looking he's intellectually deep. <br /><br />(Hugs)IndigoSage Ravenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143502548162174269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772560852349924056.post-5793383429864841652010-05-13T15:51:16.935-07:002010-05-13T15:51:16.935-07:00Great questions, Nelsa!
1) wildfire!--why not?
2)...Great questions, Nelsa!<br /><br />1) wildfire!--why not?<br />2) characters, definitely<br />3) 3 weeks<br />4) uh ... hard one. I'll take the great reviews ... guess I care more about people's opinions than money. Is that good or bad?<br />5) blog twice a week. I don't like twitter.<br />6) Johnny Depp. Ryan's too young for me! :)Ruth Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305109099610123918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772560852349924056.post-50102081529371106962010-05-13T12:06:22.482-07:002010-05-13T12:06:22.482-07:00i love this game and these are some great question...i love this game and these are some great questions!<br /><br />(1) SLOW & STEADY wins my race.<br />(2) close call, but PLOT.<br />(3) 3 WEEK RUSH because that's the opposite of how i write. i think it'd be amazing to be overwhelmed by my characters and story to that degree that i had to get it all out at once.<br />(4) also a close call, but i'm going for SALES.<br />(5) TWITTER<br />(6) RYAN REYNOLDS.abby mumfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945527585028871186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772560852349924056.post-29239208504919593522010-05-13T07:43:30.458-07:002010-05-13T07:43:30.458-07:00Well, I'm one of those impatient jump in with ...Well, I'm one of those impatient jump in with both feet type of people, so..<br />1. Gimmee the sales right off! Te he<br />2. Tough one, we really need both, but I guess plot.<br />3. I've done it in 3 weeks. I'm obsessed and completely immersed which is soooo not healthy but I love it! I tell myself I can take time on revisions.<br />4. Sales (we have a bar mitzvah coming up in a couple of years and it would be nice if we could pay for it) :)<br />5. AAAGH!! Don't make me choose! Twitter I guess because again, it's more immediate and you can't always count on people coming to your blog though I love it now.<br />6.

But tough choices. Let's see.....Oh, great post! But tough choices. Let's see...<br /><br />1. Slow & steady, for the same reason as you.<br /><br />2. Argh. I have to go w/characters, mainly because I think if you nail the characters they will provide the plot. <br /><br />3. Exactly the same as you--I wish I could spew it out, but alas. Still, it IS what I'd rather.<br /><br />4. I'm with you there, too. Though the mid-ground on both would be okay, if I had to compromise. <br /><br />5. Twitter. But only because it's easier to squeeze into a day. <br /><br />6. Both, of course. Why choose if you don't have to? ;)Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.com
