Hi Elaine Thanks again for inviting me to my first interview ever!! I think I need to hire a hairdresser and make up artist for my next tour
You made me feel very comfortable on this my first interview!
I love watching your interviews Elaine, they’re always so encouraging. I can’t believe Carole-Ann writes long-hand. I’m way too impatient for that. Makes me think of how so many classic novels were written, on precious paper using quills and ink. I’m sure that when her book is finished the care and thought that goes into every word will ring true.
Hey, Jessica! Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. Writing long-hand would be impossible for me, too, although right now I’m writing 2 hours a day—some writing exercises my mentor has given me—and I can actually do it. My hand gets pretty sore, but not as much as I thought it would.
Thanks Jessica, I am hoping that will work! I find it easier to jot down words, or imagined conversations for any work in progress that way, plus I can sneak in some writing while at work and no one is the wiser Thanks for taking time to comment!
Oh man, somehow this video got lost in my email. I’m sorry to be so crazy late commenting, but what a fantastic interview!! Even though I see Carole Ann regularly, it’s still wonderful to hear her process and her dedication. Yes, you will be published! Of course, it’s a given!

Carole-Ann, you made me relax and just be myself. We’re a good team, I think. What can we do next? Thanks for your time, kiddo.

Oh, I’m not worried at all, Sharon. I’m rather relieved to see that others get off the track, too, sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
