Natasha Diaz:
Since you are both a book writer and screenwriter, do you imagine your books as films as you write them? If your book was being made into a movie, would you want to be the screenwriter?
Natasha Diaz
Great question, thank you, Lisa!
I am a total pantser in terms of my writing, so I sort of imagine what is happening in the book in my head (like a movie) and then translate that into words as I go.
I would LOVE to be the screenwriter to convert Color Me In from the page to the screen, but I have heard it is REALLY hard for authors to remove themselves from their manuscript and that is usually to the detriment of the film, so I would be open to co-writing it with a screenwriter that can act as a neutral party and keep the script on track!

Your book looks so interesting. I can't wait to read it! Here's a really dumb question, but I can't help myself. Have you met Alice Walker's daughter? She's a writer as well AND she has the same racial make up as you. I know that's a really stupid question but like I said, I can't help mysellf. Cheers!
