Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year, everyone! I know I said I wasn't going to blog today, but I changed my mind. ; ) I'm on lunch break right now from my writing and wanted to pop in and wish you all a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous 2008!
And a reminder of what's coming up this week:
Name that character/actor: Since it's a holiday week, I think I'll run this "game" all week. When you all read MLTF, you probably thought of an actor or actress who would be great as that character. And as a writer, it helps me to visualize a character if I can put an actual face to the name. So if MLTF was ever going to be made into a movie, I already have some actors in mind for specific parts. Who do you see as Raine, Mychael, Tam, Piaras, Phaelan, Sarad Nukpana, Prince Chigaru, Garadin, Tarsilia, etc. ? Send your character/actor pairings to me all this week, and on Saturday, I'll give you my list. Let's have fun with it. ; )
And this week post I'll another "Things I've Learned About Writing." This week's topic is "Momentum matters and persistence pays."
And don't forget that Armed & Magical is now available for pre-order on Amazon. So if you're in the mood to click and buy -- go for it!
And for those of you who have taken a holiday break from all blog reading, as a Christmas present to all of you, I posted Chapter 3 of Armed & Magical. Enjoy!

Yay! a segment perfect for me. ^.^ I made a list over the holiday break and now I shall post it. you did ask for this Mrs. Lisa so try not to cringe at our differences of casting. (Of course i shall agree with every actor choice that you divulge to me.)
Raine: Miranda Otto
Phaelan: Johnny Depp
Quentin: David Anders
Nukpana: Jason Isaacs
Mychael: Gerard Butler
Garadin: Ian McKellen
Piaris: Josh Groban
Tarisilia: Meryl Streep (parents said that one.)
Chigaru: Gary Sineese
Ocunus: Brad Dourif
Sarthik: Alan Rickman
Raine's Dad: Liam Neeson
and no satisfactory Tam in sight. So yeah...that's still annoying but that's the list as of yet. XD
Those are some great ones! Though I'm unfamiliar with some of them (I'll have to look them up). Hmmm, Meryl Streep as Tarsilia. I hadn't thought of her. I have someone in mind, but I won't say until Saturday.
Diana,
I just looked up Brad Dourif (Ocnus) and David Anders (Quentin). They're perfect! Especially David Anders. Great job!

Happy New Year, Lisa! :)
