Congrats!!  You updated With The Band faster than I could read it lol.  But I did finally finish that one and now I still need to get caught up on all the others :)

Great job with it though - it was a really original idea with very fresh characters.  I liked it a lot!

Hi Sakabelle!  I know I got on a writing spree for awhile and really forged ahead.  I daresay that I might be slowing down now.  Again.  Or at least until my next Backstreet Boys concert!   8-)

Hey guys, don't forget about this thread! :)

Here's a question or two for you

What has been your favorite scene to write in the story? And which if any chapter did you really find yourself struggling to write?

I haven't read the story yet, but plan to. I love the song "With The Band" by Dierks Bentley and from what I can tell, it deals with photography, which I love. (Wrote a story about a photographer following BSB myself kind of lol)

Question, are you guys into photography? If so, what kind of cameras do you have and do you do any professional work?

Oh, I've been out of the country music loop for about a year...I didn't even know Dierks had a song called With the Band...lol.  I'm not a professional photographer by any standards but I LOVE taking pictures.  One of my hobbies is scrapbooking so before you can do that you have to have pictures to use. :)  As for the second part of the question...my camera died a painful death at the BSB concert I went to in June.  It crashed onto the floor.  Luckily I had my dad's camera with mega zoom and my mom's that takes great video as backup :)

My favorite scene in With the Band was the chapter told from Nick's POV in Vegas (don't want to say anything else for those that haven't read it yet!).  I think the hardest chapter to write was the first one just because I labored over every word.  I hadn't written anything in so long that it took me awhile to get back into the 'groove' of things.

I'm really proud of the story.  I think I would have liked to add in more about Liv's background as a librarian...I really set her up to become a tour mommy but I know she's capable of much more.  Luckily I have more stories to rectify that situation. :)

I just wanna say how much I love this story...and all the stories that I've read so far. I know I randomly started reading the newest story and then realized that I was way behind. LOL. I've been reading them nonstop. You're a great writer and I was literally laughing out loud at parts!

Hey Jen I finally thought of a question, which I hope hasn't already been asked. Although I haven't gotten even close to the end of any of your stories, I notice they you have finished them all. So, my question is, in regards to the ending of your stories...do you already have it in the back of your head when you start writing? Or do you just let the characters make out the end? How do you do it? I have four stories a chapter or two away from their endings and I can't write them, even though I already know what I want.

Awesome question!  For With the Band I had no clue exactly where I wanted to end it.  Cruise Control was much more thought out as was Voodoo and Vows.  I have a feeling Babies and the Band is going to be another one where I don't know exactly where I'm going to end it.  Books five and six have a definite beginning and ending planned out.  Nowhere to Go, the Kevin spin-off didn't come with an exact ending either, but I'm pretty happy with the epilogue because it helped bring it back to the main series.  :)

Who in your story represents you the most as a person?

Hands down, Liv...in more ways than one.  I like to think that I've represented some of my own insecurities and worries into her and yet made her a strong person with interests very similar to my own. :)
