I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like to have met someone in real life before being their Facebook friend.
I do like to write about characters who aren't just starting out, who have had adventures before, who have had a past they aren't that happy looking back on.
I tend toward characters who are more lost than found.
I love Facebook. I could brush my teeth with Facebook.
If I get the walk of a character, that helps me find them. So I'm constantly looking at airports and train stations, registering walks.
I love it when people travel to see one of my works, and I always make time to meet and talk with them.
If you're old enough to have a job and to have a life, you use Facebook exactly as advertised, you look up old friends.
If, at the end of the day, I can look back and see pictures of all the characters I've played, and there's a smorgasbord of weirdos and interesting, odd, different characters, I'd be so happy.
In the world of Facebook and Twitter, you can treasure hunt for tidbits about somebody that you find interesting and pretty much find out everything you need to know - which is why I stay away from social media - I'm terrified of it.
America's Facebook generation shows a submission to standardization that I haven't seen before. The American adventure has always been about people forgetting their former selves - Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac went on the road. If they had a Facebook page, they wouldn't have been able to forget their former selves.
