RT Wolfe Answers 5 Simple Questions!
Kristina: M&Ms, Chips 'n Dip, Jell-O
Shots…what's your snack of choice when you're on deadline?
R.T.: I’m generally at a Panera or Barnes
and Noble. There are too many distractions at home. Can I cheat and say coffee,
coffee, coffee?
What's your favorite non-word (as in a word
we've bastardized or completely made up) and why?
R.T.: ‘Got.’ I know I’ve been guilty of
using it, but other than in dialogue I think it is bastardized when used in
text. Yikes!
Kristina: What most surprised you about the
publishing process?
R.T.: Hmm…the lack of control. I didn’t
know I was a control freak until I was offered my first contract. LOL
Kristina: When the writing gets tough, who
do you lean on?
R.T.: Mr. Folders. He’s my late night
mentor.
Kristina: Finish this sentence: For me,
writing is like ______________ (and feel free to expand on your answer, doesn't
have to be just one word)
R.T.: For me, writing is like crack
cocaine. The outlining, the research, editing, revising…all of it. The rush is
truly a high.
Kristina: What are you listening to right
now and does your listening choice influence your writing?
R.T.: Ahhh. Complete silence. I am able to
tune out surrounding sounds but I do love the silence. I often use music,
however, to psych me up before I write. And depending on the scene or part of
the story I am at, I use different types of music. So fun.
Kristina: Tell us one interesting thing
about this book or its characters that didn't make in 'between the covers'?
R.T.: I am big on secondary characters and
how they bring depth to a storyline, especially because Black Creek Burning is the first in a trilogy. Part of a tryst
between two secondary characters was cut…although I still have it in my copy. J

thanks for visiting today, RT, and for the great compliment!
ReplyDeleteCool interview. Coffee definitely qualifies as a snack!
ReplyDeleteI don't do coffee except for ice cream! I'm more of a Coke gal. But lately I've been putting a limit on that sugary snack too. But I'm with you on Panara. Love that place. It was great to meet you R.T.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the the best,
Neecy

-R.T.
Fabulous interview!! Love Panera! And your cover is gorgeous! Can't wait to read the book! Follow Panera with a cup of Starbucks or Biggby and I'm a happy writer :) Thanks for sharing with us today!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,

-R.T.
Great interview! I can totally relate to being a control freak. LOL
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
Jessica,
DeleteI'm so embarrassed! Ha! I'm not supposed to be a control freak! Eek!
:) -R.T.
Enjoyed the interview! Loved the words complete silence - I can get "on a roll" with that! In complete silence, I can do my best writing.:) Unfortunately, that doesn't happen a lot.
ReplyDeleteArsoleen,
DeleteYes! Very few silent moments, but they are worth the wait! Thank you for stopping by!
-R.T.
Enjoyed the interview. I also love coffee and silence! They are two of my favorite things, LOL. Best of luck on your blog tour...and kudos on a wonderful book! I highly encourage everyone to pick up a copy of Black Creek Burning. It's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlicia,
DeleteThank you very much and thank you for reading an Advanced Reading Copy of Black Creek Burning. Good luck with Lady in the Mist. I loved it!
-R.T.
If I wrote at Panera I would eat their cinnamon scones multiple times a day. That wouldn't be good.
ReplyDeleteShraon,
DeleteI have to sit far away from the bakery display! :)
-R.T.
I so want to read this book!
ReplyDeleteAnn,
DeleteYessss! (this is me doing a fist pump). Thank you!
-R.T.
Loved your interview! Panera makes the best sandwiches in wht world, but couldn't write there. I'd be too busy eating.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely compliment, Shawn. I can get myself in a zone at Panera and tune out the comotion. My record is 7,000 words in 7 1/2 hours in the same seat there. Ha!
Delete-R.T.
Great interview, ladies. This sounds like an awesome book.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sara. I appreciate you stopping by!

Hey, R.T.! I'm late to the party! I agree with you on the silence. I am a huge music person, but there are times when I just don't want any noise. That's when I do my best thinking, and plotting. May you have continued success.
ReplyDeleteM.J.,
DeleteYou're not late! My tour runs through my release date on September 24th. I appreciate your interest and your input!
