The writer’s interview

I’m read the Success Principals For Teens by Jack Canfield and he says to interview successful people in the field I’d like to go into. These questions will help me with researching what you have to go through to write and publish a book.

1. First off, How many books have you published?

2. How long have you been writing?

3. What has inspired you to write?

4. What sacrifices did you have to make for you to write and publish your first book? The ones after that?

5. About how many hours and days did it take you to write your book?

6. Are you happy that you went through all that to write and publish your book?

7. Was it worth it to you?

8. Finally, what advice would you give a first time writer?

Please leave a comment on this post if you are interested in participating, and I will contact you offline . Participants will be featured in their own posts with a link to their website.

Sapphire’s journal: Prologue

Prologue: Be wary of this tale dear reader. It tells of adventures Eons from your planet and isn’t all light hearted.The planet has everything from logic to fantasy. This is a true tale of my life on my planet Ecox. Like most stories, this has feelings, and problems, but the problems you might not want to ever deal with if you know what I mean. I’m sorry if this story is horrifying but 1000 years being a prisoner is too long. Not that all my adventures are bad, some are just making friends and saving the day type of stuff. After all, I am the Creator of Ecox. My name, as I have a lot of names now, is Sapphire. My story starts when I discover Lion’s forest and actually meet the golden big Lion. For the sake of my dear spy rat Linal, if you absolutely hate this journal, throw it into the ocean and save me the trouble of doing it myself.

Captain Fletcher

Captian fletcher is a tough character in the story The Island. He is one of the few sailor trainers of Ship Co. He is strict, harsh, rough,  moody, and full of authority. He is not a person that you would want to anger. He is about 39 years old, and is tall, thin, and strong. He has been on many ships, has gone through many storms  and seen many things. Most of his students fail and don’t get the sailing job. he has dark eyes, aand tan skin from many days in the boiling sun.

Excerpt:

“Congradulations, Hero Poins. You have just passed your fist test, you faced death bravely and calmly enough to not panic and make your recources around you to your advantage. You are free to take a job here whenever you like and I’m sure you’ll fit right in” Captian Fletcher said with a smile.

Problems on Planet Eroze

The problems on the planet is that the Sky Cities block out the sun for the land people, and another argument is that the disks are not pleasant the look up. They are just huge grey things blocking out the sky. (Of course, the Cities are mad up in patches, so they don’t block out the whole sky…just some of it). The sky citizens like to look down on the land, and also argue that the land people could move from under the disks, but the land people are stubborn and so are the Citizens. These arguments raises fights, most of the time wars.  The Erozians are not united in any way, and there are no alliances with any of the regions. For example, the sky people think land people are lazy and crude, the land people think Sky Citizens are rude, greedy and selfish. The desert think the meadow people are cowardly, the meadow people think desert are unintelligent. The jungle people think the forest people are dull and forest people think they are careless. So, fights often break out between each region. Peace treaties are rare. The other problem is that the sky city’s weather can get really cold (it usually is), and it gets dumped on with rain at 10 gallons minimum. The roofs can’t hold that much water so, water gets inside the buildings and people can’t do anything about it since it’s fatal to work on the roofs.

Hero Poins

Hero Poins is My new main character for my current stoy, The Island. She is 14 1/2 years old, with brown hair nd green eyes. She loves to read stories of adventure and survival. She is fed up with her city, Thankslot and her overly croweded house with 9 people living in a 2 bedroom building. She is a hard worker, working  random jobs 12 hours on weekends and 5 hours after school (with lots of off days).  She  is quiet in her junior high with 2 friends named Phenolithis and Variana who are the same age as hero.  Unfortunatly they can be hardly counted as friends. Hero is mostly by herself, doing homework or reading at lunch and at snack time. She dreams of owning and living on and island, away from cities with tons of people. Here is exactly how she said it in the story: She wished she could fly to an isalnd and be all by herself, like the people in books did, and not having to worry about otherpeople being rude, telling her what to do, and crowding her like a bird in a cage to where she couldn’t budge. She is terrified of the ocean. Absolutly 100% scared. With no airport on the island she wants to buy, she accepts the other transportation system. Sailing.

When she wants something, Hero makes sure she gets it. For example, when  a gaurd who was in her way of freedom of waiting to get her job as a sailor, threatened  to kill her, she stood her ground.  She even threatened to kill him

Hero Is creative in her own way. She uses her mind trickery, and bravery to her advantage. She is a kind character you would  want to be friends with.

Exerpt:

A girl stepped out onto the sidwalk, a book in her hands. She had just turned 14 1/2 that morning and had not cared. At all. Her family had just fussed over who would get breakfast or not, aacting as if the girl had not been sitting in her assigned chair, looking miserable.

“9 people in one house is not healthy at all” she had muttered under her breath, hoping her uncle, who was right next to her, had not heard.
