I had no idea you were an actress! I likely saw you on TV--I've probably seen every episode of Murder She Wrote at least twice. :)<br /><br />Great interview!!Susan M.

Avery, ...Oh Rebecca, you're making me drool...<br /><br />Avery, I agree with Rebecca--you're lucky to have that screenwriting background. For me too, the hardest part is the story--arguably the most important!<br /><br />And I do love your trailer. Maybe it will inspire me to go up to the mac store and take a class...Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-30160882579350940502011-04-20T04:52:24.426-04:002011-04-20T04:52:24.426-04:00Hi Avery, congratulations on your nomination, and ...Hi Avery, congratulations on your nomination, and best of luck on awards night! How fun that you worked on "Out of This World" back in the day--that show was one my favorites when I was in 4th grade (back in 1989-90). I always wished I had Evie's power to stop time.<br /><br />Since you worked with a highly structured medium in screenwriting for so many years, was it difficult for you to make the transition to novels? Or did you treat the outlining in a similar way? Speaking as someone who isn't as strong on story structure compared to character development and world-building, I'd love to hear some of your advice on nailing down a clear story arc more painlessly. For me, it's often difficult to filter out the details I want to include for the sake of the larger picture.<br /><br />I'll definitely be looking for your book the next time I head to the bookstore! (I'm quite fond of cheese, myself, and am fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest, where I regularly get Rogue River Creamy's assorted blue cheese offerings. Yum!)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127537942890921580noreply@blogger.com
