Conversation #2

Conversation #5

The process of getting to know your authors is often a slow one.  Like getting to know people in real life, it is a process of stripping away stereotypes, perceptions, and misconceptions you might have had, assuming you have heard of your author.  Since our authors come from different times and places, we are going to start the process of getting more inside of them and trying to take on their habits and personalities. 

So, for this conversation, the focus is on starting to act like your character.  Make a short video - about 2- 5 minutes where your author gives his or her opinion about the his / her favorite author and the reasons for this choice.  Now, you may not be able to find out for certain and that is okay.  The key here is to match who this author is to what you think his/her favorite author might be by giving specifics and details that sound like they would fit your author. 

For this video you do not have to dress up as the author or speak like the author or have mannerisms like the author -- unless you want to. However, we are moving in that direction, so this is your warning.  But for this video, have fun!

Please read the guidelines for this conversation carefully.

For this conversation, do the following:

1.)  In your video post, make sure you focus on the reasoning why a certain writer is your author's favorite.

2.)  Make sure you are speaking in first person in your author's point of view - even in the video.

3.)  In your response you are welcome to add pictures, videos, links, etc.

4.)  Please respond to at least 3 other authors in this conversation.  You may respond in text format rather than video.
