Umm… so Anne Rice released a video (the day before her birthday) on her facebook that said she’s already working on a new Lestat book to follow Atlantis. (T_T) Bless.
^I can’t embed the vid, so here’s a screencap, anyway I watched it and took notes so you don’t have to the LENGTHS I go to for you and here are my notes:
Many new characters in PLROA
Louis – not a major player but a very important player.
Marius – plays a significant role
Fareed – plays a significant role
Viktor – is there
Rose – is there
Has some thoughts on the changes in the writing industry
“The name of the game is to keep writing and keep dreaming…”
Probs not ever returning to Cry to Heaven, but she loved it, “How the wounded can fight, how we can redeem ourselves through art and sexuality.”
Into the next VC story EVEN MOAR DANGERS AND CHALLENGES that come out of the Atlantis story.
Mayfairs – not going back right now, but there’s active interest in Hollywood, for a quality TV series. Promising talks going on.
AR does alot of planning w/ her writing, but “you have to be willing to throw it all away in the process.”
She quotes Sandy Gustin: “God triumphs on the ruins of our plans. And I think novelists have to be ready to triumph on the ruins of their plans.”
I told my sister to give me pairings, numbered 1 to 7, and I’d generate a list of 7 words, match ‘em up and write drabbles.
She really liked them so I’m sharing :’D
01. Notice | Louis/Lestat (1980s)
“You need to stop cutting it,” said Lestat, running his fingers fondly through Louis’ hair. Louis shrugged his shoulders, in a gesture of disagreement. He didn’t mind Lestat’s touch, though. The cool fingers on his scalp were always welcome. “It’s not as though it won’t grow back,” Louis pointed out. “Modesty,” Lestat scoffed, dropping his hand. “It’s beautiful when you leave it long. You never used to cut it.” “It attracts too much notice.” “Well, let them notice. They do. It’s one of your finer points. I noticed it.” “Hmm and that turned out so well for me.” Lestat glowered.
“i-want-my-iwtv is such a beautiful human being. Her gifs and posts are just HILARIOUS! I love when she RP’s as Lestat, it’s always a joy to see and interact with. It’s great to see her opinion and perspective on things that she includes when answering asks.”
