Chrissy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi Bronwen, another question from me. What has been your greatest joy with writing (any part of it), and your biggest disappointment? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwen Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That's a tough one! Biggest joy was when my first book was published and seeing it there in book form was fantastic. I've had a few disappointments, (rejections etc.) but possibly my first publisher's lack of publicity for Escaping Dreams. I've had to work really hard from the start and sometimes it feels like an uphill challenge to get my work out there to the readers, which is one of the most important bits! Hopefully that hard work will pay off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I have one ~ Bronwen, I found your ideas in 'Nightswallow' very insightful, especially spirits and death, etc, did you those ideas come to you in a dream?

Well, the part when Night wakes up dead, through to the relationship with Magnus, was all a dream. The rest I built on from those feelings, and it's quite a dark point of view, isn't it? I have no idea what happens after death but that's just how it happened for Night and the story just kind of got a life of its own. The dream and the feelings from that dream have not been easy to forget. There was a point when I actually cried writing it actually... maybe you can guess where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I can guess why I thought it was very well written Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwen Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I can guess why I thought it was very well written Thank you, dear it got a bit emotional. I suppose maybe that's normal for writers to get like that though. I wouldn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know I think writers like your good self would get emotional, you are bearing your soul when you are writing, it must be emotional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I suppose you're right Did you think Night was whiny? I do not think she was whiny in the slightest Bronwen, I think given the situation (finding out you are dead) she actually held it together very well, she was scared at first but as the story progressed, you saw her changing because she had changed, well I thought she had, she seemed more determined and resolved about what she wanted to do. Hope that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense Maybe it's more of a female book, about understanding emotions etc. I have a male friend who read it and couldn't stand the character of Night, said she was whiny, although admitted that was because he recognised too much of himself as a whiny teenager for his liking Edited April 6, 2009 by Bronwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
