*Streamers flap in the wind as the hot air balloon descends. Meanwhile Biff, Boff and Benedict are still struggling to pick AnnieGil up and her gigantic lamp hat up.
With a flourish Leonardo Dicaprio and Chris Hemsworth jump from the basket before turning and holding out their hands. A security guard runs forward to attach a small ladder and KissingTheSunlight, holding on to both men, climbs out of the basket. *
Ana smiles walking over to them so AnnieGil is not longer in the shot: KissingTheSunlight hi. I bet you save a lot in parking fees flying around in that thing.
*KissingTheSunlight laughs, as the balloon floats away.*
Ana: Well you are obviously here for the obvious reason. Tell us all how you reacted when you found out you made it though to round two?
KissingTheSunlight: I was supposed to be studying but was bored out of my mind. I log into Wattpad, go on my wall. My friend SongofAutumn had messaged me congratulations. I thought maybe she was on something! Then I saw it and I couldn't believe it! I was in shock and still am!
Ana: Shock must make you forgetful. Your story is called ‘Clementine’ correct and it’s up for best undiscovered gem in Historical Fiction? Tell us about it.
KissingTheSunlight: It’s about an English teenager, a lady, who dreams of a land that doesn't exist (according to everyone else). It frustrates Clementine deeply, because she knows she has been there before. She sees a young man too, about her age. Her mother disowns her, declaring her a lunatic. She suffers every day watching the cruelty of the doctors, how they treat their patients, etc. But always, she dreams about Steven (the young man) and he also dreams about her. He paints her actually; hoping one day someone will recognize her.
Ana: Ohhhh, that’s sweet. Do you prefer books or TV?
KissingTheSunlight: I prefer books. My favorite books are To Kill a Mockingbird, Cloud Atlas, Johanna Lindsey's stories, and Gillian Shield's "Immortal".
Ana: I remember To Kill a Mockingbird from school. Mmmm, Gregory Peck. I wonder if they will do a re-make? They remake everything now a days but I hope they don’t. I -
KissingTheSunlight: Oh look at the time we must be off.
Ana: Sorry I tend to rabbit on sometimes. One last question before you go, do I know any bad jokes?
KissingTheSunlight: Bad jokes let’s see. Ok I'll tell you two. What's brown and sticky? A stick. What's green, grows on the ground, and has wheels? Grass. I lied about the wheels.
Ana: Yep, they were bad. Well goodbye. So that was KissingTheSunlight. To check out her story ‘Clementine’then you can either click on the external link on the right of the screen or you can click on the dedication picture above. Give it a read so you know your favorites come Awards voting time.
