It All Started With An Apple

Q & A

1. OMG Brianne is such a jerk in the beginning!  Why would you make her like that?

Let me start by saying that it was painful making a character as judgmental as Brianne was in the beginning.  I wouldn't make someone as snippy, whiny, so sarcastic that it's borderline cruel without a purpose.  Kay?  Good.

That being said, Brianne is judgmental in the beginning because this story is her journey to realize that stereotypes are pretty much bogus.  I needed her to be judgmental in the beginning so that she could grow as a person with Dannon.

2. Is Garrett gay?

No, he's not gay--just really girly and energetic.  You can have him be gay if you want him to be though!

3. Is there going to be a sequel?

My friend is writing the sequel, It All Started With A Pear!  You can read it on her profile, Vacantt.  The sequel can be looked at as a spin-off of sorts, as it's about the characters' children.

4. I love Dannon and all, but shouldn't he have died?  Waking up was so unrealistic.

I know it's unrealistic to most, but miracles do happen.  And besides.  What would I be saying if I killed him off?  What would be the whole message of this story?  It would be that no matter how much hope you have, there's no point because it's going to end badly anyway.

This way shows people that there's hope.  It shows that faith in God can go far.  I know it might not be the most realistic ways of showing it, but I wouldn't have the ending any other way.

5. Why does Brianne have two uncles?!

So I never really thought about why Brianne had two uncles. Rick was with Jill and Dorner was just . . . there.  And then all of a sudden people are so confused.  They're like, "OMG TWO UNCLES WHY."

Well, dearies, I've edited the story some more (not posting an edited version, okay), and he lives with them because he would rather live with his brother than be stuck in an apartment all by his lonesome.  Nope, he'd rather be a third wheel.

Hey, without the third wheel you wouldn't have a tricycle okay.  They're important.

6. How did you even come up with this idea?

I was a newb at cover making who thought she was pretty dang good.  That being said, I showed my grandmother how I made them--mind you, I was using picnik.  I know--and uploaded a random picture of a guy holding up an apple.  And then I needed  title.  So I put one.

I know.  So inspiring, right?

7. Brianne's family members are such creepers.  Where is the sense of personal space?

I don't even know.  It just happened.

Okay, picture it.  Your boy-hating daughter is suddenly hanging out with a guy non-stop.  Wouldn't you be a little interested as to what was going on?

Okay, maybe not. 

8. Does Brianne say yes?!

Who can say no to Dannon?  That is my question to you.

Anyway, if you want to see more into their relationship, read the one-shots on my profile!

9. Is this going to be, like, legit published?
