Thanks so much for arranging everything, Lori!!! It's been GREAT!!! xxx

[Lorraine]

I LOVED IT!!!

[Lorraine]

Just to let you know everyone, I will sort out a tidied up version of the event, and will link it on the first post ... will most likely be next week. So that way you can see questions and answers linked together which will hopefully make things easier to read/follow :)

No, no was just a little confused.

This one seemed a little more hectic than the one with Shaun. Maybe you having some of the questions helps Lorraine (ones that we would suggest) so it's more ordered since it's just you asking the questions and then we can pitch in with other questions we have later on.

Night Pat, Thanks for coming!!!

[Jud]

I have no questions

[Lorraine]

How do you mean Jud? Having like an interview type thing, with questions from everyone asked by the one person and then if there are any other questions whoever wants to ask asks?
I'd be willing to try another way if this might make things a bit smoother.
It's probably my fault, only finished DD's book last night so didn't have much time to plan things. I thought trying to guide the conversation was a bit "futile" as questions about other subjects were popping in the middle of other "themes" in Shaun's live event. So I thought I'd let it run wild and see how it would go... dont want to appear all bossy, me ;)

[Lorraine]

Did you feel like it was confusing DD? I guess following the questions is hard enough as it is... if you can think of a way to make it easier on the writer do let me know :)

Ok, good :)

[Jud]

Well you had some questions from people who couldn't be there and started it out and then opened the floor for other people (of sorts). A full interview type thing wouldn't be as interactive so maybe not as good.

Could just have been the people who were at this one of course :o) a bit more excitable *cough*DD&Amy*cough* ;o)

[Lorraine]

I see what you mean Jud. What I will do instead of continuing it on here is continue the discussion on the general live event chat thread, hopefully we'll have feedback from other people and we can plan the next one accordingly :)

Heehee!

You can imagine our house can't you Jud?!?!?!?

It's a wonder our Mum is still sane!!!

I'm so glad Amy came along to help, gave me a bit of time to write my posts while keeping things going!!!

[Lorraine]

So one creates a diversion while you get the job done? Very clever !

[E A M Harris]

I enjoyed this event, I just found I had to read the posts carefully to follow what was happening. That was probably partly my fault for being late and anyway careful reading is a good thing to practise.

[Lorraine]

Thanks E :) x

[Lorraine]

Right, I don't know about DD, but I'm rather tired now, so I'm going to pack up for the night. Stay tuned for the next chat everyone :) Have a great weekend !

Hey DD! Im so sorry i wasnt more involved! My laptop is broken, and it was difficult to keep up with on my new tablet (still havent worked it all out!). It seems to have been a great success though!

My question was - Who pushed you to publish your book? or was it your decission? (sorry if its been asked)

I've really been looking forward to this, so im sorry to have missed it. Best of luck with your next book! x

And i also want to say thank you to Lorraine for putting in the time to make this possible (:

My family all said that they thought B/C was good enough to publish and after some research we decide to try the self publish route.
I never imagined it would be sooooo HARD to get people to read my book!!! I had this rose tinted image of me putting it out there and it just taking off......I can't remember now WHY I thought it would be that easy!!!!

[Nae]

Woops I lost this event. Sorry about that.

[D.D. Chant]
