Featured Story of the Month for September: Any Other Way by Tri

<< < (3/4) > >>

Tri:
Okay, I'm probably an idiot for asking this, but what do you mean by your first question?  Like, are they based off of other people or what are their personality types?  Sorry, I'm just confused at the moment.  lol.  I blame the lack of sleep.

As for your second question, there have definitely been times throughout writing my series when I've thought about scrapping the whole thing.  Either I'm frustrated with myself or the characters, I'm bored, or I'm busy with life and just feel like it's not worth it to try to continue.  Each time it's happened, though, I've gotten out of the funk I've been in and it's worked out that I've continued.  :)  Hopefully I'll be able to finish the series without giving up at any time!

What kind of people do you think they are? What are their personalities? AND did you base them off of someone?

I have tried to make Nick and Trina as "normal" as possible throughout the series.  I've of course put things in about Nick's fame, but it's been so much more focused on their relationship and their family more than the whole Backstreet Boy thing.  So this story was really just about two people getting back together after some time apart and dealing with the external forces around them that weren't always helping the process. 

I tried to base Nick off of what I interpreted of Nick Carter's actual personality, of course with some changes that needed to fit with the story and other embellishments .  I've heard that readers think I captured his personality pretty well, though, and I've always taken that as a compliment.  I'm not one to think of Nick as a cheating, lying jerk of a boyfriend and I tried to show that.

Trina is based off of me partly.  She's kind of exaggerated parts of my personality, but her career and family and general lifestyle is based off of things that are familiar to me.

Keep the questions coming!  :)

Hi Tri,

I'm slowly coming back into the world of the living.

Here are a few questions for you

1. Do you have a favorite chapter of your story? If so, then why?

2. Do you have a favorite quote or line from your story?

3. What made you decide to devlop an entire series based on these two characters?

mare:
Where are you Tri?
