P.L Reed-Wallinger answers--
Are you right-brained or left-brained, and how does that factor into your writing? Do you get writer’s block, and if so, how do you cope?
None of my books have been made into movies. However, when I first penned Dark Secrets, I envisioned Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), as the main character. I actually thought the storyline was a perfect fit for that actor’s personality and acting abilities. Forbidden Fantasies, too, had several characters modeled after celebrities, and like Dark Secrets, the storyline would make an awesome movie.
I have only one book that was written with the express intent of writing a trilogy. It is, in fact, one of the first things I really put serious writing effort into. Prophesy Stones—Book I, The Quest. It’s a sword and sorcery fantasy fiction, complete with its own world, cultures, deities, language, and conflicts. It is, in fact, my passion. I love losing myself in that world, and truly hope to see those books published someday.
I really have not contemplated sequels to any great extent, although I’ve had reader requests for another story around the Dark Secrets’ characters. Actually, Forbidden Fantasies has another story in it—Angie’s story. As I was writing, I would constantly have flashes of that other storyline coming through, and pondered the idea of pursuing it someday. I pour so much of myself into every book, that by the time I’m done I’m totally exhausted. I’m really nowhere near ready to start back into that storyline again. And, for the most part, by the time I reach the end of a story, it’s as if the characters are done talking. They wave goodbye and leave. They don’t stick around to tell any more tales, and I’m not clever enough to make that shit up all by myself.
