I NTERV I EW PA ULA K ENDRI CK Rom elia: WHAT IS A SIGNIFICANT WAY YOUR BOOK HAS CHANGED SINCE THE FIRST DRAFT? Pau la Ken dr ick : It started out with mere words and some were misspelled with missing punctuations in the beginning. It was turned into a book once it went through the transfiguration process. Rom elia: WHAT INSPIRED THE IDEA FOR YOUR BOOK? Pau la Ken dr ick : Certain circumstances that literally brought me to my knees but I survived. Rom elia: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BOOK?S IDEAL READER? Pau la Ken dr ick : A person who has been through trials and tribulations but they didn?t beat them down. A person who can still smile through the tough times. Rom elia: WHAT WAS YOUR HARDEST SCENE TO WRITE, AND WHY? Pau la Ken dr ick : The hardest scene was every chapter of this book for all different reasons. Each chapter centered on the same theme but created different emotions.

I NTERV I EW FREDDI E WI LSON Rom elia: WHAT PERSPECTIVES OR BELIEFS HAVE YOU CHALLENGED WITH THIS WORK? Fr eddie Wilson : As an aspiring author I would say no one gets it right the first time. We/I struggle most times when I begin to write my stories. All I can say is just write to the best of my ability. Writing the first story then, another story that is in your head pops in before finishing writing a paragraph and you tie it in also. Rom elia: WHAT CHARACTERS IN YOUR BOOK ARE MOST SIMILAR TO YOU OR TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW? Fr eddie Wilson : Bren Cramer. Rom elia: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO WRITE THIS BOOK? Fr eddie Wilson: Six months. Rom elia: IF YOU COULD MEET YOUR CHARACTERS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM? Fr eddie Wilson : We came to the end of this chapter but there are some things unsettle with Bren, what can we do to make it right. A sequel is coming.

AND, IF SO, WHAT?S YOUR FAVORITE? An t h on y M it ch ell: Well, I don?t play music but I do write lyrics and I have to pick ?SOURCE OF MY STRENGTH?. Rom elia: WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU?VE BEEN GIVEN ABOUT WRITING? An t h on y M it ch ell: To be as authentic as I possibly can. Rom elia: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE WRITING SKILLS? An t h on y M it ch ell: I would use the same practice I use when I write poetry which is writing about everything and put your life into chapters or any period of your life about you or anyone in your life.

I NTERV I EW NA DI A DA V I S Rom elia: WHAT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF YOUR ARTISTIC PROCESS? Nadia Davis: The most challenging part of the artistic process to me is ensuring that I only include needed information. Knowing what information to have or remove can be difficult when ensuring that you convey your point. The other thing that I found most difficult was the editing process. Once I completed the manuscript, which was stressful in itself, rereading from start to finish to make corrections and clarify statements was difficult. Rom elia: DO YOU BELIEVE IN WRITER?S BLOCK? Nadia Davis: Yes, I believe that it is possible to have writer ?s block just as people can get into a ?rut? in any other profession. Rom elia: HOW DO YOU PROCESS AND DEAL WITH NEGATIVE BOOK REVIEWS?

I NTERV I EW V I CTORI A HYLA M A LDONA LDO Rom elia: HAVE PETS EVER GOTTEN IN THE WAY OF YOUR WRITING? Vict or ia J. Hyla: Every day. The cat jumps up on my desk at least once a day, loves to sit on the mouse or my hands and then bite me because I?m in her way. She also gives me disapproving looks over the top of my laptop if I won?t let her sit where she wants to sit. Rom elia: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO HELP OTHERS CREATE PLOTLINES? Vict or ia J. Hyla: You can?t write what you don?t know, so go out and experience life, make mistakes, and just be a person doing life. For me, I often take tiny details or situations or experiences that happened in my life and expand upon them with the question of ?what if that had gone differently?? and the like. This gives me a lot to write about since already I?ve had several major life changes and choices (good and bad) in my own life. Writing just dramatizes and structures them. Rom elia: AT WHAT TIME OF THE DAY DO YOU DO MOST OF YOUR WRITING? Vict or ia J. Hyla: The time of day varies depending on when inspiration strikes, but whenever it is, it is when my house is silent and I?m left alone with my thoughts. Right now this tends to be very late at night or very early in the morning.

I NTERV I EW A M Y WA TK I NS Rom elia: IF YOUR BOOK WERE MADE INTO A MOVIE, WHICH ACTORS WOULD PLAY YOUR CHARACTERS? Am y Wat k in s: 200 Letters is a romance novel like no other. There are some great love scenes but mainly it is about a couple who is going against all odds and surviving. It would require a very strong male and female lead roll. Jurnee Smollett would make a great Angela. Michael B. Jordan would do well as Ethan. Rom elia: HAVE YOU EVER KILLED OFF A CHARACTER YOUR READERS LOVED? Am y Wat k in s: Yes. Death is a part of life and many times the death of a loved one can set your characters on an enlightening path. One of the most emotional chapters in 200 Letters was the death of a beloved character but through the death, a lot was learned. Rom elia: WHAT ARE COMMON TRAPS FOR NEW AUTHORS? Am y Wat k in s: Marketing and advertisement can be a trap. It?s hard to try to determine what types of marketing to invest in. You often loose more than you gain through marketing schemes. I have yet to find what works best for me when it comes to marketing.

I NTERV I EW CA LEB HA RRI S Rom elia: HOW DO YOU DEVELOP YOUR PLOT AND CHARACTERS? Caleb Har r is: I usually write my plot down on notebook paper.

It can range from 20-100 but more people will buy it because this is how the world works and the sooner you accept that, the better off you will be.
