Featured Story of the Month for March 2009: Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

<< < (5/5)

mare:
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. *sends you some chicken soup with Nick in an apron* lol

At any point while you've been writing this story, have you changed your mind about where you'd like it to go?

Do you see yourself writing a sequel when this one is over with? And how much more of the story is there to be written?

DaniGiggles:
lol I wouldn't be able to concentrate on eating the soup if Nick brought it to me in an apron, but BONUS! Thanks Mare :) :)

I have definitely changed my mind on where I want it to go. Just with the ending mainly. I've had a couple endings in my head and I just wasn't sure which one I wanted. I've noticed with all the stories I've ever written, I've had a hard time with endings, but I know where I want this one to go, it's just getting the motivation to write it is all lol. I've been working on the next chapter, so hopefully I'll crank more out soon.

I don't have any plans for a sequel once this one is over and I think it'll be better that way. Plus, this plot is so intense on an emotional level that I wouldn't even know where to go with another story with the same characters. And I'm almost done with the story! I'm nearing the end, slowly but surely. Maybe 6 or so more chapters. I'm excited! It's always a great feeling when you finish a piece of work. Very satisfying :)

Thanks for all your great questions Oprah Mare!

mare:
Can't go wrong with Nick in an apron. I think that motto needs to be printed on tee-shirts. lol

Another question for you as your month winds down. If there was only one scene in your entire story that you could produce on a stage, which one would you pick and why?

I lied, I actually have two questions for you lol

Was there any point in this story that actually drove you to tears as you were writing it?

DaniGiggles:
Thanks for all your questions Mare! I appreciate it :)

The scene I'd want to see produced on stage would probably have to be the end scene in the Chapter 'Our Story Stops Here Sweetheart' where Brian goes to Leslie and tells her that they can't be together, but won't tell her why. It's the first emotional scene I wrote for the story and for me, it's the most memorable, because it truly starts Brian and Leslie on their heartbreak rollercoaster.

And honestly, I have never been driven to tears while writing any of the chapters. Sure, I get in a state of mind to write something super sad, but I've never teared up, so when I see that my readers cry during certain scenes, it's really flattering cause I didn't know it would generate that big of a reaction. Makes me feel like I'm doing a good job and that I'm accomplishing what I want to accomplish, which is for my readers to connect to the characters.

mare:
No problem Dani. I hope you've enjoyed your month. If anyone else has any questions for Dani or comments, now would be the time!

:)
