[Kevin] Who do you write for? Who is the
intended audience for your
Callisto stories?
[Brant] I write for whoever reads them. With the
proviso that some
of the scenes are a little intense for the wee ones out there.
[Kevin] How important is feedback from readers?
How does reader feedback
influence your writings?
[Brant] Extremely important. I LOVE praise and
the enthusiasm that
I feel for writing is directly proportional to the amount of
email I receive, hint, hint. <g> I don't think I'm any different
than anyone else. I love to have my ego stroked.
[Kevin] Both "Callisto's Way" and "Times" are
quite long.
Do you envision an end to either of those stories?
[Brant] Of course not. Their titles should
actually be _The Never Ending
Story, Parts I and II_. Seriously, I am going to finish them.
I know how each ends, and what I have to write to get there.
TIMES is a smidgen over half done and CW is about 2/3rds complete,
maybe a bit less. FYI, TIMES is at 60,000 words and CW is closing
in on 90,000.
And no, I never thought either would get anywhere near that long. |
[Kevin] Both stories are rather intense at
times. Do you find it hard
to write emotional scenes?
[Brant] It depends on the mood I'm in. Writing
takes a special mood. And
emotional scenes take a very special mood. Scotch helps as well. Good
scotch. Very good scotch actually. <g>. Strangely, I never
felt any of the scenes were particularly intense until I got some
emails regarding them. Oh well, different perceptions I guess.
[Kevin] Thank you kindly Brant.
