--- Quote from: Teri on November 14, 2007, 09:29:51 PM ---Well a series for me is done when all that I have planned is completed. Like with NI it's like i planned this whole thing out. And figured that once I've done all that I've planned I'll be done with it. Which is true, originally it was going to be ONE LONG story, but then I just broke everything down and into separate stories with separate themes. And so far I have 6 stories planned in total.
1. Waiting In The Wings (the early years of the friendship)
2. Everything But Mine - 2002-2004
3. Accidentally In Love
4. Somewhere I Belong
5. Kisses Don't lie - Spin-off story
6. Always Something
All in all you could read AIL through AS and then go and read the two prequels I have planned, that's sort of how I have it designed, however, you could go star wars style and read them all straight through once they're all completed which if I know Tri she'll be the one doing that LMAO!

You make me sound like a loser. :P Just cause I will be doing that... In one weekend, too!
I'm just happy that you mentioned Star Wars. Ya know, since you're Yoda and all. :D
Teri:
ROFL! ok u need to explain to everyone WHY you think I'm yoda (i'm not short i swear!)
Tri:
LOL. No, it's not about Teri's height that she's Yoda. For those of you unfamiliar with Star Wars (or if you just need a refresher), Yoda is the all powerful and very wise Jedi master. He has also trained notable Jedi throughout his life, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. Yoda is really positive and he does have a playful, joking side to him, too. Overall, he's just super cool. (God, I'm a dork... I blame the fact that I only have brothers, mostly male cousins, and mostly male friends. haha.)
Now... You may be asking... What does this have to do with Teri? Well! I will tell you. Don't you worry! lol.
When I first started reading Teri's series, I realized how well each and every one of her characters were developed. Not only Nick and Ali, but Nick's band mates, Nick's family members, Alyssa's friends, and Alyssa's family members. To be honest, the only character I feel that I don't know a TON about (in comparison with the others, I mean) is Lori. And even with her, I could list plenty of things I know about her. lol. Then Teri and I started sharing character development exercises with each other and we analyzed each other's main characters in-depth. When we started talking about each other's stuff, I found myself writing a LOT better as far as the emotional connection my characters have (see chapters 40 and on in What the Heart Wants). Sooo... I started calling Teri the "Yoda of character development" because not only is SHE a character development master, but she can transfer her skill to others! lol. (Actually, I believe it was the "Yoda of Character Developmental Sex" because of her knack for writing really great sex scenes, too... Which tie into the emotional connection between her characters, too.)
Anyway... That's the story! So when I call her Yoda, you can understand now. :)
Tri:
Oh! And one more thing... Let's all be thankful that Teri doesn't talk or write like Yoda. I know I'd be confused! :D
Teri:
LMAO is it sad that I can talk like yoda though? LOL A Life I need ROFL! okay i'm a major dork
