Know the Novel Part 3

I have a bunch of random blog ideas in my head right now, but since I failed to sort my thoughts out on any of them. I decided to do this link- up before I forget to.

Once again this link up was created by the infamous and wonderful Christine make sure you follow her, she is writing a Midas story and it sounds amazing!


Onto the questions.

1. Firstly, how did writing this novel go all around?

Fine...

2. Did it turn out like you expected or completely different? And how do you feel about the outcome?

It turned out horribly, and I'm still trying to figure out how I wrote 50,000 words about nothing. There was a lot of food though.

3. What aspect of the story did you love writing about the most? (Characters, plot, setting, prose, etc.)

Characters, I love writing the characters. Establishing their nuances and quirks.

 Prose would be a close second. 

4. How about your least favorite part?

I guess the actual act of writing and to keep writing.

5. What do you feel like needs the most work?

 All of it! It's a complete mess if I'm being honest.

6. How do you feel about your characters now that the novel is done? Who’s your favorite? Least favorite? Anyone surprise you? Give us all the details!

The feelings are mixed most of the characters are killers, drunks, and out of their minds. I'm not sure how to feel about them. So far my least favorite is Cynfael's step mother she is a piece of work. My favorite is still Cynfael, though his motivations are questionable.

7. What’s your next plan of action with this novel?

To completely rewrite it.

8. If you could have your greatest dream realized for this novel, what would it be?

To have it published! That would be amazing.

9. Share a snippet of one of your most favorite scenes!

I picked at my fraying sleeve, "I don't want it, it changes people."

She looked confused, but she didn't have the horrors of my childhood to serve as an explanation.

I sat up. "Power corrupts you. It clouds your judgement. Makes you think you're doing the right thing. That you are somehow capable of making that call. My mother was the way she was, because the system demands it. If she had been kind, they would have eaten her alive."

Snow stilled, her face drawn.

"I hated her, but I can't say I didn't understand her, she survived. She did what she thought she had too."

10. Did you glean any new writing and/or life lessons from writing this novel?

I learnt that I much rather take my time with my books, then try to write them quickly.
Oh and...
