Twitter Session
@eve_edgeofnight Well, it's a good thing I'm actually in the U.S. this time. So the questions! What color is your hair? :)
— The Tudda Pudda (@TuddaPudda) September 6, 2015
@TuddaPudda Oh, good! Slightly less confusing then. And my hair color is brown. :)
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
@eve_edgeofnight yeah and cool! So is mine. Would you want to meet up one day?
— The Tudda Pudda (@TuddaPudda) September 6, 2015
. @TuddaPudda I would love for that to happen! Knowing me though, it'd be very difficult to arrange it. I tend to be very private.
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
. @TuddaPudda I told myself I'd keep my blogging and private lives separate lol. It would be so neat to do that though, wouldn't it?!

@eve_edgeofnight Er, that should say "How long does it take you."
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
Answer: Depends! Can take anywhere from just a few hours to.. well, there's been a couple that I worked on for weeks! #AskEve

The following tweets come from Uma, whose Twitter account has restricted tweets. This prevents retweets and embedding, so I've added in screenshots (omitting Uma's username to retain his privacy).
x Definitely, it has. I've learned a lot about myself since I starting blogging, just to name one. Learned many other things, too

x A: Sad but true, I think. Someone who reads another's material also has the opportunity to steal it and take it as their own.
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
x A: Stealing others' ideas is pretty much what I got from that. But most sayings have more than one meaning. Yours?
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
x A(1/3): I've always loved to write. Been writing stories for fun for years, finally decided to try blogging it.
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
x A(2/3): Writing just takes an open mind and heart. :) Well, and time. Can take a lot of that, too.
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
x A(3/3): Perhaps some of both? :D
— Eve Estelle (@eve_edgeofnight) September 6, 2015
x I'd like to say no, but we all have other responsibilities aside from our writing. A writer should write whenever possible.

------------------------------------------------------
That covers the key points of the session, I believe. If you take a look at my Twitter profile you'll find some side chatting that wasn't included in here.
Being the Twitter noob that I am, and this being my first Q&A, it was a little messy! However, I'm pleased with how it all went, and I hope some of you got a question or two answered.
Additional Questions
Here are the questions submitted by readers who couldn't make it to the live session!
------------------
1. What inspired you to make a blog? — Arushee
This has sort of a long answer.
The inspiration to make a blog popped up a couple of years before I actually did anything. I wanted to give the blogging world a try, but there were several things that made me hesitant.
When I finally decided to go ahead and do it, I first wrote about the different countries and cultures of the world. I love that stuff, and it was great fun to write and research. But the amount of research needed for each post tired me out after a few months, and I lost motivation. I still wanted to blog, though, and I tried out two other topics that didn't last long.
Edge of Night came into being when I continued wanting to blog, but not in any of my previous areas. I wanted something that would allow me to be myself, and yet remain fairly anonymous; that I could post to without doing enormous amounts of research; and something that I knew I would have stronger motivation for. One night while playing with a random, meaningless poem in Word, a new burst of inspiration hit me and I went off to create a writing blog!
2. I love the atmosphere of your poem "Moonlit Shore." What inspired it?
First of all, I'm so glad you enjoy it. Second, I believe the idea for that one sparked when I was in the middle of "Message in a Bottle." Being about a bottle washing up on a shore, I was wanting to describe the beach in a way that didn't really fit the simple, ah, "theme" I guess. The fantasy-lover in me kept picturing these beautiful, relaxing, scenic shores lit by the moon, and a short phrase led me to create an entirely new poem: "Footprints in the sand."
3. How long have you been blogging?
Total? About 2 years or so, with a lengthy break in there somewhere. But nearly 1 steady year with Edge of Night. :)
