KL: I'm so happy to welcome all of you here. Who has a question?
JONAH: So I'd like to know why you set me up with unrequited love.
KL: It adds tension to the story. Readers like that sort of thing.
RAVEN: So really we're just pawns?
KL: Um... well... next question please.
COOK: I get that adapting to living in a forest takes time, and that the move was necessary. But a decent kitchen set up once we got to the protected basin would've been nice. Back at the manor house I used to work with top of the line equipment.
KL: That's more of a comment.
BECCA: I think your food's just as tasty as ever, Cook. But I have a question similar to Jonah's.
KL: What about you, Blade, anything you'd like to ask?
BLADE: You mean such as why do I get the dysfunctional family with the stuck up, whining, egotistical parents? No, no questions here.
RYAN: I wanna know why I have to chop so much wood.
RAVEN: And why does my Gift take forever to show up?
RYAN: At least Dream Travel's easy for you. It kinda gives me a headache.
(assorted complaints and outbursts)
KL: Cardonians, please. I do try my best to listen to you while I'm writing your story.
REN: Guess you didn't hear that I wanted to be taller.
KL: Sorry.
VIOLET: Yeah, and what about what me and Raven had to go through? I mean losing our mom before the story even starts...
KL: Listen everyone, I still have the revisions to work on.
VIOLET: Maybe you should have a comment box. Then we could all have a say. Blade, pass me that pen and paper.
KL: Maybe. Well it's been great having you all here-
RAVEN: You're kicking us out already?
REN: But this couch is so soft.
BECCA: And so dry.
KL: Your story calls, you know.
JONAH: We can take these snacks, right?
KL: Here, let me get the door. Ren I'll need that pillow back.
REN: What pillow?
KL: Fine, you can keep it.
That went well. They're much easier to manage in my head. They're a great bunch, though. I hope you'll agree when Book One of The Cardonian Chronicles, The Dream Traveler, gets released this fall.
