Joelle Charbonneau (Author of The Testing) Q&A Event--April 7-10th

I'm sure I speak for the whole thread when I say you got more than a few extra pairs of fingers crossed hoping the same thing.

Also if you manage to act in a movie based on your book, I just quit on account of never gonna be that cool haha.

Yes - but you forget - my real training is in theater and music. That's what I know! And I totally want to get my voice students auditions since it was their stress that inspired the series! It's the least I can do after taking all their tension and angst and making it way worse in a book:)

That would be so neat to have an author acting in their own book to movie movie!

It would be cool to see for sure. And NOW I think to ask "which character could you see yourself playing?"

I also just thought to ask how, if at all, she feels reading the more streamlined structure of scripts/stageplays effected her story writing.

Man, I knew this was gonna happen haha. Oh well, was still incredibly awesome.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

And thanks to all of you for having me! I had so much fun and I'm happy to come back and play any time. You're all awesome. Okay - back to writing for me. This book needs to get finished!

Oops I already sent it to Jenny and she said she'd forward it to you. If she doesn't, let me know and I'll resend the information.

[Xandra]

Or actually I can send you a message in a day or two and make sure you got the information... That's probably a better plan

LOL I just send it to you, Joelle! :)

[Xandra]

I missed the Q&A, but I just wanted to come by and say how much I enjoyed your books in The Testing series already, I can't wait to see how it turns out. I am super excited to see that Paramount has picked it up as well. As I was reading the book I kept on thinking how this series is a series I would actually like to see turned into a movie (instead of some if the other trilogies that have recently been made).

[Renee]

Congrats Xandra :)
