• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Questions and Statements for Katie Cook. Thanks for coming back
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to Missed Opportunity this week. It's my Missed Opportunity with
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Katie Cook. The book is called Nothing Special, Volume three.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: The protagonists are curious and very clever. How do you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: live with that? There are three values that your readers
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: can actually tap into while exploring your pages. You have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: become a master at planting easter eggs inside your stories.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Readers need to know that so they can keep their
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: senses up. This isn't just for students. This thing is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: going to be loved by every single age group. How
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are you able to bridge that gap working with your illustrator?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That has always been the greatest challenge. How did you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: come into being a team together and then to bring
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the full story to life? Are you presently on a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: comic con tour? If so, anywhere near us? Or where
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are you going? You created this world? How do you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: live in it? Stay in it, breathe in it, create
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in it, and then come back to this world? In
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this age of sharp judgment? How do you keep your
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: writing up and growing? Because so many people like to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: step in there and you know, do their troll thing,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't bother you. You just keep building a story.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: How do you step into humor? I mean, come on,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I've sat with many comedians that say you've got to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: craft a joke. This stuff just rolls out so naturally
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on your pages. Okay, I'll admit this is a romantic
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: fantasy story. I get it just because I'm a guy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean I don't have to like it. This really
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: does get int Thank you. A form of storytelling that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: ignites the imagination with every book out. What have you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: learned about yourself as the story share not a storyteller,
• 5:13
