Sim Storytellers Interview: The Wordle version



For anyone without the time and/or inclination to read my Sim Storytellers interview, this wordle will also give you the general idea of what was discussed. It's amusing to see this spell out my overuse of such words as like, just, really, and pretty, among others. I was using a conversational tone, as I usually do in this journal, so I'm not really surprised (there I go again). Just is easily my most overused word in all of my writing. It's all over this story like a rash.

I was slightly amused by these word pairings: make love, take back, best Frances, real Tank, and Ripp wanted things. Nothing too, too funny, but it's always interesting to see what combinations these wordles throw out.

JUST in case you didn't believe me about the just overuse, here's another example... )

Storytellers Spotlight at Sim Storytellers

Finally, the [livejournal.com profile] simstorytellers interview is posted. It took longer than I thought it would, especially with the extra questions, but they were all great and I wanted to take enough time to answer them all. Is that a good excuse for being late? Not really, but there you go. The interview was also a nightmare to format, and I had all sorts of issues with livejournal user tags, but that seems to have been resolved.

The interview is posted here, if you want to check it out.

Thanks for all the great questions, and thank you for reading the story so far. Reflecting on it like this made me realize how awesome you all are for reading this and offering such great feedback. I enjoy writing it anyway, but having an audience makes it so much more fun.

Last call for interview questions...

I'm going to open the floor to questions for my interview in the [livejournal.com profile] simstorytellers Storytellers Spotlight one last time, which I'll be posting tonight (at the eleventh hour, because I'm a deadline pusher like that). Please post your questions in the comments, or here in the announcement post. Serious, silly, or completely trivial, I will answer them all.

Cheers!

Sim Storytellers Interview

Well, it seems my name has come up for the Storytellers Spotlight at [livejournal.com profile] simstorytellers this week. For those who aren't members of the SST community, you can check out the past interviews here. I will be answering the 30 standard interview questions, and I'll also be opening the floor to questions from readers of my story, as others have before me. If you're curious about something relating to my story or the telling of it, you can leave your questions in the comments here, or in the announcement post. Fire away at me with your burning questions (but not your burning bags of dog poo, please).

So... yeah. *deep breath* Let's do this. It'll be fun.
