Interview with author Bernadine Ziegler

Q1) What is your favorite line from the many many wonders of Deanie?

A 1) I actually have three lines: I will always love you and I will never let you go.

You still have to flush your cares away.

It just doesn’t make any sense to keep secrets.

Q 2) What would say is your strength as a writer?

A 2) Knowing that God, will always be at my side when I get stuck or can’t figure out something He fills in the blanks, and of course my Husband helps me a lot by encouragement and his love for me.

Q 3) How do you manage your work schedule?

A 3) I don’t really have a work schedule now, but when I did and something came to me I would always ask God to keep it in my head for when I get home. As for now I still have chores but there always seems to be time in between each chore or the day.

Q 4) How do you handle Literacy Criticism?

A 4) I really never had any criticism, I think because when I do write me and my Husband edit every piece I write. I did however go through some writing schools and entered some writing contest they did give give me a lot of red marks and I read the noted and re-wrote the pieces and published them in my books.

Q 5) What do I like about Audio books?

A 5) I heard of them but never listened to any I always thought that would be great for people who travel in their car or for anyone with any eye problems, Then I became a writer I was asked to do an audio book I thought to myself that would be great.

Q6) What inspired you to start writing?

A 6) I started writing things down when I was a kid I was mentally ill with Epilepsy, I didn’t know about this until I got better I read a story about Epilepsy, it said Epileptics write things down, so when they would have a seizure, it would wipe information out just like a bad chip or incomplete chip. I looked around all my things and found the writings that are in my book.

Q7) What in your opinion, are the most important elements of good writing?

A 7) Know your subject, have you ever heard the line? Write what you know this very true. Figure out the ending to your story first, then think of the title and then the beginning of your story, the rest will fill itself in. When you do all of this work, look up to see if this would be a good subject to publish see if anyone would like to read your work. I wasn’t sure so what I did I let chosen people to read my pieces and to tell me not what you think how did you feel afterwards.

Q8) What is your work schedule work schedule like when you are writing?

A 8) Very coming because when I do write it is when I would have time between chores, mostly at the end of the day. If there is some reason I had to stop I would write down where I left off but this usually doesn’t happen, when I start to write I always keep going to the finish line.

Q9) What is the significance of the title “The Many Wonders Of Deanie?”

A 9) The name Deanie is because it is shortened from my birth name that is what I was always called by my family, and The Many Wonders Of is because every writing is of different subjects none are the same, like I am bouncing around. Epileptics would write about everything they see and wonder.

Q10) What did you want to be when you grew up?

A 10) When I was young and still mentally ill I never knew if I was going to have a chance to grow up, so I never really had any direction but with all of my jobs I did have they never amounted to much, however when I discovered with every job I had I kept writing but I still didn’t think about being an author until my husband said why don’t you finish your writings? They are really very good!
