Great question!!
Your question:...White Wolf Reads,<br />Great question!!<br /> Your question: When you first started writing, did you ever think you would get this far?<br /><br />Wow. That is so tough to answer. I think I've wanted to publish "a book" since I was 20 years old. (I have two uncompleted novels from when I was that age.) But I don't know if I actually wanted to be a novelist until the past ten years. I guess my attitude was, I wasn't going to give up until I achieved my goal. It was a lot of hard of work and a lot of rejections, but each one strengthened my resolve and forced me to strengthen my writing.Merrie Destefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447209247265513676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697961819353881347.post-41083342072612097492011-07-12T13:12:38.953-04:002011-07-12T13:12:38.953-04:00Renee,
Hi! Thanks for stopping by!
Your question:...Renee,<br />Hi! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Your question: Do you often have ideas for other projects while writing a specific book?<br /><br />Unfortunately, yes! That was how FEAST came to me. I was working on another book and had to stop writing it to put down about 10 pages of FEAST. Then I wrote another book (AFTERLIFE), before I finally got to go back and write FEAST.<br /><br />Right now I have a file of about 10 book ideas, some with 10-50 pages already written, that I hope to write someday. <br /><br />=)Merrie Destefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447209247265513676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697961819353881347.post-77198308953937369182011-07-12T13:10:20.599-04:002011-07-12T13:10:20.599-04:00Skitty,

Books, authors, etc.<br /><br />When I was a teenager, I loved books by Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Heinlein. Now I really like books by Jandy Nelson (The Sky Is Everywhere), and Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak), and Diana Abu Jaber (Origin: A novel), and Robert Bennett Jackson (Mr. Shivers) and Kimberly Derting (The Body Finder.)Merrie Destefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447209247265513676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697961819353881347.post-76028570857321216932011-07-11T22:43:39.087-04:002011-07-11T22:43:39.087-04:00This book sounds really good.
