An Interview With Moi... What You Never Really Needed To Know and Could Have
Lived Your Whole Life Without Knowing Because It's Stupid and Pointless About LizzieSpinelli
Me: What's your favorite color?
Lizzie: Hello to you to.
M: Oh, sorry. Um, hi.
L: Red.
M: Mmk. Let's see. What do you hope to be when you grow up?
L: Preferably alive. And if that goal is reached, I plan to be a writer and film director, possibly
an actress.
M: Interesting, any particular reason why?
L: Well, I did sort of want to be an orthodontist too... so no. No reason why I guess. I suppose
that's just my purpose in life.
M: Well, the holidays are coming up, and that means presents. What are you hoping to get this year?
L: Well, I'm really hoping to get on Christmas a lot of CD's. That's really all that's on my list.
Well, my reasonable list, that is. I have a drum set, trumpet, bass guitar, practically a library of books, and lots of other
junk on my wishlist, but I'm not asking for much in reason. Just some cd's, books, and lots of band t shirts. Gotta love Family
Force 5. Oh! And one of those Power Tour Electric Guitars. I know their for kids, but they're all brats anyway and don't have
the brain capacity to know what their doing with it anyways so I figured it's not to crazy for me to get one.
M: What's a really good Christmas memory?
L: Let's see... We always go to the movies on Christmas after all the commotion of the morning, then
we eat at our house, then all my relatives who live over here take a gander to my aunt's house for dessert so we
all have a chance to show off our new stuff. I think my best memory is when I got my bike. Of course it's gone now but I still
liked it. I was 6, not sure if I was almost seven or 5, almost 6, because my birthday is a little after Christmas, but I remember
I had never ridden a two wheeler before and I was going crazy. My dad was just pushing me down the road and I was screaming
my head off in the street. People probably thought I got an axe murderer for Christmas, and that's probably why it's my favorite
memory.
M: Sounds fun.
L: Darn tootin' it does.
M: What's you're next project you're working on?
L: That's not at all random. Well, it's actually an idea I've had for years, literally. I've always
had it in my heart to write something like it, the idea that is. But I could never work through the plot. Of course there's
the basic kid going into a different realm, but I was sick of that, you know. I couldn't help but get the feeling it had been
done before. So I had been waiting all of these years with the characters, settings, and pen in hand for the perfect spark
to get at me and a few weeks ago, maybe about a month, it hit me and lit off like a firework. I don't have the title yet,
it was going to be The Royal Blade, because it revolved more around this kid who's father was the king of the different realm
and how everyone got to this realm was with a blade. But I'm working on something new. The plot follows a kid named John who
meets Lyra, a girl his age who's mother was supposidly thrown into a different world when one of her "inner realm experiments"
went wrong 6 years ago. She finds her way back to bring them into the world she was sucked into and she explains the land
is being destroyed with a darkness that was brought in by the new man in power. I'm not going into extreme detail here,
but basically, throughout the series this unlikely group has to overcome the darkness themselves and show the people of the
realm what's going on. So many of the citizens have grown so immune to the darkness they actually feel that nothing is wrong
with it even though it's being destroyed and it's obvious what's happening. There's going to be a huge battle that starts
in the second or third book I know for sure, not the first definetely, and there will be a lot of twists with the main characters.
I'm getting pretty deep into the stories now.
M: Wow, that sounds really great. When do you think that might be done?
L: I'm not known for being on time, and I really can't set a date on it. I can write something in
a few months and sometimes there's just this block of cement that keeps me bound, so can't say really. But the first book
is underway.
M: Be sure to keep us posted on that. So what do you like to do when you're not writing or keeping
up with this site?
L: I'm in theater lately. I joined local children's theater that my friend invited me to where
this September I played a wacky cat who helped guide Alice in our director's creation of Wonderland, a
part two to the classic Lewis Carroll story. And now I'm working on a new play where I get to be an Italian gangster villian.
So it'll be interesting to say the least.
M: You think you could get me in for free?
L: When I grow a tail...
