I did say that the story was originally going to be a vampire story but that got nixed. What part of your novel was the most fun to write? Some of the family traditions are traditions of my own family.Ĩ. The memories from Emari’s father came from my Dad’s journal. I’ve used several experiences and manipulated them a bit. It helped me to see if I was getting my story arc complete and maintaining action within each chapter.ħ. I tracked the action and sequence of events in the story. I did what I call a skeleton with Dream Weaver.
I tell people my writing style is a ‘puker’ because I get random scenes at random times and throw them up on whatever random piece of paper I can get my hands on and tie them all together later. He led me into the story and guided my way. I think Nickolas was the first thing that captured me. I’m going to have to think on that one….I believe the chicken came first. Which comes first? The character’s story or the idea for the novel? I’m not sure I would change anything unless a publisher told me to.ĥ. I spent five years on Dream Weaver and the journey was a learning journey-info I can use and already have on hand for the next book. If you could change one thing since your novel was written, what would it be? So far, reviewers have commented that I handled the sensitive subjects in my book very well.Ĥ. It’s not a subject I take lightly, so it was very important to me how I handled it. I researched other YA books with rape fiction and went to a rape crisis website called RAINN. This is a YA book and I knew I had to handle the scene and aftermath very carefully. I would definitely say the assault scene. What was the hardest part to write in the book? I wanted something that hadn’t been done to death.ģ. So I started thinking about what other kind of immortal I could create. What sparked the idea for Dream Weaver?ĭream Weaver didn’t have a title at the beginning and started out as another vampire story. I loved Stephanie Myers Twilight series myself, she is a wonderful inspiration to other authors.Ģ. I hadn’t written anything of consequence in many years. I finished the Twilight Saga right before I started writing.
I have a few questions that I would like to ask you Su and I am sure the readers would love to know.ġ. To Read an excerpt from her new novel, please click below I want to thank Su Williams for being here with us today and sharing a few things about herself
