1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
Hmmmmm one thing you guys don't know? Well you guys don't know how it is going to end......yeah right like I would tell you that!!!! LOL! Originally Adie was going to cheat on Nick with Mark when she was in London. Instead of going to Lou's after the big argument and flashing incident at the 02 she was going to call him and they were going to meet up and get it on. Adie was then going to be caught between the two, she wouldn't know who you Father was etc etc. I changed it because I didn't think she would be that callous to hurt Nick in that way, or to make Mark's wife feel the way she did when he originally cheated. I am glad I took the path I did because otherwise it would have been a competly different story!
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
Well I am not finished yet. I started in June of last year and I am hoping to finish around the same time as I am due to move house at the end of that month and won't have internet for a while! So it would be a bit rubbish for you guys to have to wait around for ages. This is the longest story I have ever written, in the number of words and time!
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
Adrianna Jones had always felt the pressure to be perfect, she knew exactly what she wanted in life, it may have been what everyone esle in life wanted, the job, the husband, the kids and the small picket fence but she worked hard to achieve it. That was until he showed up in her life and threw it into utter turmoil.
Nick was different to every other man she had been with, his family life was non exsistant, his lifestyle was extravagant, the press followed him wherever he went. Yet there was something so appealing about him, a child like innocence hidden away.
How could two people so different ever make it last?
How would they cope with a unplanned pregnancy?
Who would be the one to comprimise and would they eventually end up resenting the other for it?
Who would be the giver and who would be the taker?
Who would be down on their knees hailng the heartbreaker?
4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?
Obviously I would have Nick playing his role.
Adie hmmm.... I think someone like....God it's really difficult! Personailty wise I think it would have to be someone like Linda Cardellini, she plays Sam Taggart in ER. I think she shares a lot of personailty traits with Adie. I'm not sure who I would go for looks wise.
Rachel would have to be Sandra Oh (Christina in Grey's Anatomy) personailty wise anyway! She cracks me up with all the funny one liners, and to me Rachel would be quick witted like she is. I think looks wise Rachel would be Angeline Jolie purely for the black hair and that amount of tattoos.
5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?
Numerous times!!!!!! It's mainly when I get to a chapter that is just kind of a filler! But it's the reviews that keep me going and I remember how frustrating it is not read a story only to have the author stop updating!
6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)
I always have the basic premise in my head before I start writing. I have the beginning, the middle and the end and then as I write it evolves and hopefully gets better. Originally I had only planned to write about five chapters before Adie left Nick but I think she didnt actually end up walking out until the 20th chapter! Most of the time I sit and write a chapter and think where the hell did that come from and how did I get to there from where I started? But I always know the key things that I need to get out in a chapter, just sometimes they come out in a way I didn't plan, like for instance the scene where Adie goes AWOL for a time when Nick is on tour. She was going to call him and tell him she was on her way but it made for a much more interesting read and got people all het about again because they assumed she was running. Planning to an extent is good but I think spontonuity is just as great!
7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
My favorite character is actually Rachel! I know she only really plays a small part but I love how sarcastic she can be, I love how everything has fallen into place for her even though she hasn't planned anything ever. I think it pisses Adie off because she is a complete freak when it comes to having a plan and knowing what you want, Rachel didnt do that, she just went with the flow and got everything that her sister wanted, whilst Adie is still waiting for her happily ever after. It's a topic that will be covered quite shortly in the story!
8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
I don't really have a least favorite. I mean Adie sometimes gets on my nerves because she is so pesimistic about things, it's like Nick said:
"Right now you can blame this whole thing on me and my lack of commitment, and my lack of trust, Nick’s issues caused us to fail but if I change, if I work on my issues and we still fail? Then it becomes about you too. Then your perfect, happy idealistic life which you strive to have will be ripped away from you but this way conceding to failure before you’ve actually tired, it just makes it that bit easier. That way you haven’t lost something that you loved because you never got to live that life. So what does that say about you?”She wants a perfect life but the minute it becomes too difficult she pulls away blaming the circumstances or someone else.
Nick can be equally frustrating to write too! If he could just trust her that bit more and open up to her more then I think he could get what he wants too! I do sometimes despair when I am writing their therapy sessions! LOL!
9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
I think all of them have been actually in some form or another. Obviously A.J plays a major role because he is Adie's brother in law. Howie and Brian have been knocking around in a few scenes and Kevin is due to make another appearance pretty soon!
10) If we like this story...then we'd love what story? (Could be by you or someone else) and obviously tell us why lol
I am going to shamelessly plug another of my stories! LOL! It's called I Can Save you and is about Nick and his best friend Shannon. Shannon has a daughter, Matilda, and is in an abusive relationship, Nick realises this and tries to help but Shannon refuses to admit the abuse going on until it is too late, by then the web of lies is so huge not even Nick realises how much he had gotten himself into to.
The other story I wish would be updated (HINT!!!) is Casual by Cabybakes! Awesome story, extremely well written! The relationship between Nick and Quinn has many tangles and all I want them to do is life happily ever after!!! But sadly that doesn't make for interesting reading and if the story was all sunshine and light I probably would not be reading it! LOL! I enjoy a bit of angst as you can probably tell! LOL!
Anymore questions please feel free to ask.
I am hoping to have the next chapter out by Wednesday maybe Thursday!
Once again thanks to all my loyal readers and reviewers, without you guys this probably would not have gotten past the 20th chapter!
