Ha! <br />The challange for me on this book was the first love scene had to happen in the very first chapter.

And many authors are shy, not willing to toot their own horn. <br />Gearing up to say, ‘I’m great’ can be almost impossible for some.<br />You have to get over that fast. Because in most cases, if you don’t promote your books, nobody will. And you are your own best asset. <br />I tell myself I’m not promoting me, I’m promoting the books. <br />Somehow that makes it easier.Ann Hinnenkampnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-41797949083133780292011-09-12T18:01:59.336-04:002011-09-12T18:01:59.336-04:00Congrats on your latest release!

I learned it from directing plays. When you direct, you take the author’s words and bring them to life on stage. This is kind of a reverse process. I take the scene in my head and translate it into words.Ann Hinnenkampnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-16529032535211306892011-09-12T14:26:54.509-04:002011-09-12T14:26:54.509-04:00Ann - congratulations on the release of dyad dream...Ann - congratulations on the release of dyad dreams - i SOOOOH love your female characters, so quirky and funny! You combine humor with great exciting action and fantastic characters. <br /><br />how did you learn this technique of sitting still and building a whole scene in your head before putting pen to paper? Certainly it's paying off in your writing, so i'm fascinated to hear any tips for those of us who'd like to give it a try. <br /><br />i guess we'll have to wait and see what you're planning on writing next? i'm longing for you to write something set in the theater world! <br /><br />keep it all coming Ann and many congratulations again - <br /><br />Neroli LaceyNeroli Laceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-36316354164734183882011-09-12T13:07:16.641-04:002011-09-12T13:07:16.641-04:00From Ann:
Hi Nan,
I have a background in theatre,...From Ann:<br /><br />Hi Nan,<br />I have a background in theatre, acting and directing. The stage is a visual world. So, I start with the idea of the book as a whole and then work on the scenes. I put the characters together in my head, with the situation they are in and then play the scene out until I have it right. Each time a character moves or speaks the motivation has to be clear, the action has to advance the plot and with that line or movement, the reader has to find out more about the character. <br />I really do sit still for hours going over the scene in my head and once I think it’s ready, I start to put it on paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
