Interview of Vonda Norwood
Author of Playing The Coach
Questions by R. Murry
Can you tell me a little about yourself?
My name is Vonda
Norwood. I was born in Alabama, raised in California by a mother from Texas and
I now live in Arizona. I love mysteries
and hate long walks on the beach. :-D
Do you remember the first story you wrote?
Yes! At 8 years, I
re-wrote of the Flintstones’ cartoon. I didn't like their anniversary
special, so I wrote my own.
Were you inspired by someone or something?
When I was a kid, I
heard someone on T.V. once say that if you don't like what you read, watch, or
experience - write what you do want to experience.
What do you like about writing a story?
My favorite thing is
creating the characters personalities - how they think, how they relate to each
other. As I write, I get to enjoy their world.
Can you tell us about your book?
"Playing the
Coach" - This is an erotica story, which means that my characters have sex
with each other and I described it!
LOLOLOL. One of the most
fascinating aspects of this sexual/romance/comedy is the comedy. Vicky being high-strung about her goal to be
the first female football, head coach of her hometown's high school. That position is held by the one man she's
most attracted to. What does Vicky
really want? Does she want to be a coach
or have sex with Coach Wilson. I'll just
say this, Coach Wilson makes certain that Vicky gets exactly what she
wants. :-D
How did you come up with the story?
That's the best part of
this story! But it would take a story to
explain it and then my mind would create another erotica story and I already
have too many going on in there to deal with, so I'll just say this: I tried to make an innocent funny-sexy joke,
but I couldn't! The harder I tried to
think of something that was football-coach and sexually-funny, the more
inappropriate my thoughts became and the next thing I knew, I had me a whole
sexy-funny story that wouldn't leave my mind!
I couldn't stop thinking about a sexy man, lying around in a towel just
waiting for me to um... :-X .
What genre best fits for the book?
Erotica/Romance/Comedy
Are you working on something new at the moment?
I am working on my
sequel. The title is "Facebook can also make you go to jail
too"
And I am writing book 2
of "Indie Authors Make Better Lovers". I'm hoping to finish Indies 2 before March
10th. HOPING!!! My sequel to my "Facebook" - book,
is very involved and will take me a lot longer to complete. I keep finding new short stories to do and
the stories clog my mind too much to write my sequel. So after Indies, I hope to have no more
erotica clogging and just complete my sequel!!! :-/
LOLOLOLOLOL
Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
Every writer is an
individual. Just be yourself and be true to your work. Enjoy
writing it so that people can enjoy reading it.
If you don't enjoy your stories, how can anyone else?
Which authors inspire you?
I've only been inspired
by one author. Ernest Hemingway. Why? I HATED his character's
personality in the book "The Old Man and The Sea." I didn't
want to have to read that book! It was a class assignment, so I read
it. Nearly completed with the reading of that story and realized that Mr.
Hemingway created one heck of a strong character, which seemed so very
real. What an amazing ability!!! I still didn't like him, but, I
have 100% respect for the man who
created him. :-D
Where can people go to read your work?
Where can people find you on the internet?

ReplyDeleteThank you for the interview Roy!!! I can't believe I actually said, 'erotica clogging'... Kinda seems like a weird choice of words! Ya know? Maybe I was eating too many Gummy Bears at the time... You know what, I must have been eating the gummies that have the juicy centers! Those things squirt as you bite them making the whole experience so much more flavorable! That had to be it! I must have been high on liquidy squirtin gummies!!! Seriously! Who says, 'erotica clogging'? I need a synonym for clogging!!! Or maybe I shouldn't have told the truth!?! I should have freakin lied!!! Yea! I gotta learn to lie and that way nobody knows how weird I am. Image is everything! So from now on, I'm gonna pause my thoughts, think of a lie and good ones too, then I'll type and or speak. Might be hard for me to pause, cuz I don't do that self control thing very well. This interview stuff is really hard to do!!! I'm gonna have to shut up now or else people gonna think something's wrong with me.
:-D
I loved that part! LOL If you are worried about it, you can always claim "temporary insanity", let me know, I got that down pat!
DeleteI thought I was the only one who thought up different endings for cartoons, lol! Glad I have company out there! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun interview, but then again it's Vonda! You would be one fun lady to hang with...great job, both of you!
