It All Started With An Apple

Q & A

Personal reasons. 

23. Where can we find the one-shots of IASWAA?

On my profile!  It's called One Shots (IASWAA). The chapters are labeled as deleted scenes because of the first title I gave it, not because they are actually deleted scenes.

24. Do you have a twitter?

Yes, yes I do!  It's @iTaintedRain.

25. Which was Brianne's favorite from Switchfoot?

Dare You To Move! 

26. Will you be posting the crew's reaction in the one-shots?

Yes!  I've already started a one-shot for that.

27. How did you feel after writing IASWAA twice?

Pretty dang good!  Ha, after that I still had to delete a good chunk (20-ish pages) because they weren't really needed.  And now I'm editing.

IASWAA is still being worked on.  In fact, it's open on my computer right now. 

28. What does IASWAP stand for?

It All Started With A Pear.  It's the sequel that my friend and I are going to be writing for fun.  It'll be posted on Jaanuary.

29. Whatever happened to Brent?

Hm.  That's a good question.  I don't really know.  I might do a story on his college life and make it a linking story.  That'd be fun!

30. Are you going to carry on writing for a career or is it just a hobby?

Definitely a career!  It's never really been just a hobby for me.  In Elementary school we had these planners, and this one section asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.  The job list always changed, but one job always remained there: Author.

31. How did you get the idea for a character like Brianne?

I don't really know!  A lot of her is me.  The sarcasm, they way she says some things.  My friend even pointed out how alike we were.  But the judgmental, mean part kind of came on its own.  Her character was sort of shaped as the story went on. 

32. Wait who's Brent again?

He's the jealous jerkface who asked Brianne out in the beginning of the story.  He's the mirror of how Brianne used to be, and when she sees that, she's disgusted.  Ha.

33. How come you're only sixteen and you're so good?

I'm not human. . . . Grr.

Ha!  Thank you so much!

34. What surgery did Kyla have done?

She had to get surgery done on her ankle because of an accident in gymnastics.

35. Do you have a friend like Kyla?

Kinda, not really!  Haha, my friend told me once that she was going to find me a boyfriend, but that was about the extent on that.  My friends are hyperactive like Kyla is, but not to the point where they're . . . Kyla I guess.  Kyla is kind of her own person I suppose.

36. How did you come up with Kyla's character?

She shaped as the story went along.  I never really planned her character besides the, "going to get Brianne a boyfriend," thing.  I never really expected her to turn out how she did, but I'm okay with that! 

37. Are you a Christian?

Yes, I am!

38. I cried nearly the whole time when I found out about Dannon.  How did you feel?

Not nearly as devastated as you guys were, haha.  I knew he was going to live, so I didn't cry at all, not even during the really heartbreaking scenes.  Though when he was in a coma I got a little sad.  Not because Dannon was in a coma, but because I really missed having him around.  That's pretty much the only reason I put dreams in there, by the way.  Because I missed Dannon.  My reasoning for why I do the things I do are very inspirational, really (please note the sarcasm). 

39. What was Dannon's reaction to Brianne's video?

I'll have to make a one-shot for that!  Hah, would you kill me if I said that I never thought of that even though he was supposed to watch it?  What if they never watch it because he went into a coma before he could?  Gasp!

40. What would have the students' reactions been when Dannon went back to school?

He may or may not have been attacked by fangirls in a massive fangirlish hug that may or may not have knocked Brianne to the ground.  He may or may not have thought he was going to die that day, but survived with a smile on his face.  Oh, and Brianne may or may not have sprained her arm from the fall, oops.

I'll have to make a one shot for this, haha!

I was taking more questions, but I've discontinued it.  I'm no longer adding questions to this section!  Please note that some of these answers are not up-to-date (seeing how a lot of them are from when I wasn't published yet).  I went through and fixed some, but I doubt I got them all.  So.

Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading!
