Introduction
- Stories from the guys
- Zach: surprise parties - what’s your take?
- Cody: the battle of political signs.
- “Terribly Terrific”
- Each host shares about a story that they admit is kind of terrible, but for some reason they really enjoyed it.
- Cody: Nicholas Cage action films such as Con Air, Gone in 60 seconds, and Face Off.
- Zach: Will Ferril movies -- some are really bad (Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro, even some parts of The Other Guys) and I don’t think people want to admit that
Nightmare at the Fair Questions (MAIN TOPIC)
- What is it that made you decide that you wanted to write in this particular genre (Children’s Horror) and what was some of your inspiration for the book?
- Share with me some of the process from the conception of your idea, to outlining, to writing. How long was the process for you?
- Was there ever a point in this particular project where you felt like it wasn’t coming together the way that you wanted it to? Did you ever have a moment where you weren’t sure if you were going to finish it?
- Since, you were a young lad, you have wanted to write a book. The day has come! Share with our audience ultimately why you decided to go the route of independent/self publishing instead of traditional.
