""Encouragingly terrified!" I might steal that.
For me, it was like returning to college. There was so much to learn. You're right to take it slow, not jump into anything, etc. You'll do great."

Good questions all. I recently self-published my book, Camelot & Vine and am doing pretty well with sales and reviews.

Camelot & Vine Goodreads Giveaway
Good day, all. I want to invite you to my Goodreads Giveaway for my novel, Camelot & Vine. There are three more days left to go! (Plus 14 hours, 59 minutes and 41 seconds--I love how they do the countdown.)Camelot & Vine is about a failing Hollywood actress who, on her 40th birthday, loses everything, falls through a gap in time, and accidentally saves King Arthur's life. This is not the Arthur with castles and fine ladies and great banquets. This is 500 a.d., when the real Arthur might…See More

"Keri, I can't answer your questions but I'll be interested to read the responses you get. I think of Margaret Atwood as a role model. She's been adventurous with new forms, and that keeps her in the game."

Kathleen Kern said… Oh it's not worth your expending that much effort. I was just curious.

I meant when the anime character's face becomes distorted because she is embarrassed or upset and you have to say "gaa" or something like that. It's your voice, not an engineered sound, and I wondered what the script said. My first anime series was Samurai Champloo, which had natural looking characters, except for one, and I expanded out into other series (for research) and was fascinated by the facial templates for embarrassment, rage, sorrow, fear, etc.

While hiking, do you carry your camera? What camera do you use...do you go digital or 35mm? I love your portfolio on redbubble and have just tweeted it!
An actress...you've got courage...moxie. (Love that piece in Lost In Yonkers...the movie...where Richard Dreyfuss explains moxie! Would love to see the play.)
I've also just completed my first novel, Blue Psyche, but have just about decided to publish/market it myself because, from what I hear, you must market your work, anyway. Your Camelot & Vine sounds fascinating! I like your protagonist's name, Casey Clemens - I go by my last name as a nickname. ;^ )

So close -- 2,000 words short. Not a scene or two that could be fleshed out?

Thanks an ocean,
