Welcome to Writing for Christ Keli Gwyn, it is great to have you here!
Do you have an interesting fact about yourself the average reader probably
doesn’t know?
It’s great to be here, Casey. I enjoy
visiting Writing for Christ and interacting with your blog’s readers.
An interesting fact few know about
me? Let me see. OK. Got it. I played Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I’m no actor, as my performance proved.
Thankfully my dismal debut as a thespian took place in sixth grade before a
very small audience of doting parents. The best part was that I got to wear my
mom’s flowing black peignoir set. I might have forgotten all my lines, but I
looked good. :-)
Do you have a favorite genre to read/write?
Inspirational historical romance!
Do you have a nugget of writing advice that has completely changed how
you view writing?
Have fun! I know. Profound, right?
When I first began writing and knew
diddlysquat about how to craft a marketable story, I poured words on the page
with abandon. And it was fun! Then I
discovered the online writing community, bought craft books, read blogs,
attended conference workshops, etc. I tried to incorporate everything I’d
learned in my stories, and writing lost its thrill. Only when I gave myself
permission to let my first drafts flow freely, did I rediscover the joy of
writing.
5 things you love?
The Lord
My family
Writing
Sweet tea
Eating out—often :-)
What do you enjoy most about being a published author?
Having people stop me in the
street to ask about my book. Oh, you mean for real and not in my dreams, right?
:-) I like being able to share my stories with readers, stories that honor the
Lord as well as entertain.
Places for readers to learn more about you?

Thank you for being
with us today!
Thanks for having me, Casey. And if I may, I’d like to end
by asking your readers a question.
Have you ever
performed in a play? If so, how did it go?

Dawn,
DeleteLike you, I enjoy stories set in California. I'm a native of the Golden State and live in the heart of California's Gold Country. El Dorado is located just few miles from where I live. It was a bustling town in 1870, when A Bride Opens Shop takes place. Today it's a sleepy suburb that is home to some really nice people. I included a video on my website's Story Ideas page filmed in El Dorado, so you could get a peek at the town there if you're interested. http://keligwyn.com/study/story-ideas/
Hi Casey and Keli! Congratulations on your new book Keli!
ReplyDeleteThe only play I remember being in was called Down by the Creekside. I was about seven. It was a Christian musical and the group traveled to different churches to perform. What I remember it went great and was a lot of fun.

Hi Casey and Keli, Yes, I have performed in plays and church performances. The neat thing is when you have your stage makeup on and begin to walk as the character and you are transformed from yourself to them. It is magical when that happens.
ReplyDeletelanehillhouse[at]centurylink[dot]net
Lane Hill House,
DeleteSounds like you've had some great times performing. What were some of your roles, and do you have a favorite? Is there one you haven't played but would love to?
My most favorite was being an old woman, bent over with a forked tree limb for a cane. Walking with the aid of a young woman on the other side, the moment we began walking I became my character. It was amazing. Two others I enjoyed were off-stage; a mime on a missions trip to Grenada, West Indies, and "Buttons the clown" in a festival we "Missions-Minded Maidens" had at a children's school in El Carmen, Mexico. These were my favorites because I didn't have to memorize lines! I auditioned for an "Oklahoma" musical in community theatre as Ado Annie, singing "I caan't say no" in a high squeaky voice. I wasn't chosen and did props instead. I love wearing cowboy boots and thought that would be a great spot. One I think of that was funny, looking back, was forgetting my lines in a skit to cue someone to come in from off stage. I spoke about her instead and said loudly, "Are you out there?" (hoping she would come on) and she answered, "Yes." She never did get on stage! That was before line cues on a headset.
DeleteLane Hill House,
DeleteWhat fun memories you have. Sounds like you had some wonderful experiences on missions trips. That's way cool.
Counting the days until Keli' s book debuts!Love her newly refurbished cyber home!
ReplyDeleteBeth,
DeleteThanks for your unwavering support. You're a cheerleader extraordinaire! Love you, my friend.
I invite all of you to pray for my dear friend Beth. She lives in Colorado Springs and is one of the many who’s been evacuated as the fire there threatens her neighborhood. She’s safe now, but I can’t begin to imagine how she must feel. If you could lift up the others in similar situations, that would be great. And please include the firefighters battling the many fires raging throughout the West. My agent, Rachelle Gardner’s, husband is one of them on the front lines at the Colorado Springs fire. Thank you.
DeleteSo fun seeing Keli here! Cannot WAIT to read her book. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAnd yep, I've performed in lots of plays. I love the stage. :)
Lindsay,
DeleteI think it's great that you've been on stage numerous times. You have sooo much talent and delight audiences, I'm sure. With the amazing singing voice God gave you, I'm guessing some of your roles were in musicals. Am I right? Any I would know?
Yes, I've done musicals...I love them! Haven't done as many as I'd like, but I've been in Grease, The Taffetas, Kiss Me Kate, Man of La Mancha, and Godspell. :)
DeleteWow, Lindsay! You've been in some great shows. Who did you play in Grease and Man of La Mancha?
DeleteShakespeare! Wow, Keli! That must have been a lot of lines to memorize, as Puck’s part is quite lengthy.
ReplyDeleteI actually produced and put on a play based on The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom. There was about six of us doing the whole project and I played several bit roles. It was a lot of fun and I wrote most of the play, so that was fun too.
Congrats on your upcoming book release! I can’t wait to read it!!
Amanda,
DeleteMy experience performing the role of Puck was so traumatizing (and humiliating) that I must have blocked much of it from my mind because I can't recall much about it. Since we were only in the sixth grade, I'm guessing we only performed a portion of the play.
How exciting to have written, produced, directed (?), and performed in a play about Corrie Ten Boom. What an accomplishment. Did you get video footage?
The only time I performed in a play was in back in school. I was a Princess and I remember it went fine but I didn't really like my Prince!!
ReplyDeletepbclark(at)netins(dot)net
Ruby n Reba,
DeleteHow cool that you got to play the part of a Princess. What girl doesn't dream of that role? Too bad your prince was a bit of a disappointment, though.

ReplyDeleteJulia,
DeleteSounds like your performance of Puck was far more positive than mine. You obviously knew your lines very well. I can't recall a single one. What would be one of the more famous ones? Do you have a favorite?
I'd love to meet you in Dallas. We'll have to make it happen.

DeleteThanks for taking time out of your day to visit my site. I'm thrilled with the work my talented web designer did. He captured my vision for it beautifully.
My memories of that long-ago day when we performed the play are fuzzy at best. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that our teacher chose just a few scenes for us to act out. I wasn't on stage long, which was probably a very good thing, given my super-sized case of stage fright.

You review inspirational historical romance? Cool! Would you be willing to share the link to your blog? I have a list of Christian Fiction Reviewers on my website and could add yours to it.
Keli, I knew I loved you for more than your sweet personality - you love sweet tea, too! That's the house wine of the south for this Texas girl. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into you and your debut novel - what a treat! Can't wait to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteDonna,
DeleteMy love of sweet tea comes from my mom, who was raised in Texas. Y'all are onto something mighty tasty there. =)
I remember having a pitcher of sweet tea in the refrigerator all summer long. My mom's was so sweet it resembled syrup. I don't add nearly as much sugar as she used to--in deference to my waistline--but it's still a refreshing drink, one I enjoy year 'round.
The only plays I was ever in were from Elementary School - thankfully I've blurred out most of those memories. I do though have some vague memory of being a snowflake in 2nd grade - the only thing I remember about that is my tights kept falling down. By 5th grade I had joined the band & my acting career ended. I am a follower & a subscriber. Thanks - Elaine rejordan79@msn.com
ReplyDeleteEJ,
DeleteOh, what precious memories you have of your childhood performances, although I doubt you saw them that way when they were taking place. I want to hug the seven-year-old you with the baggy tights.
I hope your time in the band was a great experience. What instrument did you play? Do you still play it?
Don't enter me. I'm anxiously awaiting my copy of Keli's book! I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, I played the part of a parlor maid in Dracula! British accent and all :) My mom maid my costume ;) Hehe..get it...maid! It was SO much fun!!!
I ♥ visiting Keli's blog. Always a treat!

DeleteHow cool that you were able to land a role in Dracula. What a memorable experience that must have been. I'd love to hear your British accent. I'm thinking a vlog post is in order. =)

Keli, great photo, I love the color purple. Since I attended a one-room school from kindergarten-8th grade, I was on stage every Christmas. The teacher made curtains by hanging army blankets over a cord. Horrors, when I was a junior I don't believe I had a speaking line, but I walked across the stage wearing a drum majorette costume. Then I tried some church drama and loved it a few years back. Would love to have a copy of your book!

DeleteI had such fun adding the musical element to the story and was thrilled to see that my publisher included the violin my heroine plays on the cover. They used it as the scene break dingbat as well. Is that cool, or what?
Since you're into music, I'll tell you that I fell in love with classical music while writing this story. My favorite piece, which you'll see in the story, is Vivaldi's Four Seasons. According to iTunes, I've listened to it over 1,000 times on my computer--and that doesn't count the hundreds of times I've played it in my SportTrac. I'm hopelessly addicted to it.

DeleteI am a follower. Only plays I was in were the Christmas plays at church. Once when I was little, about 5 or 6 , my dad told me not to go to sleep after we had exited the stage and sat down next to our parents. Being half asleep already, I said but I know the end. Everyone laughed . I have been reminded of this at every church christmas play since for the last 50 plus years.
ReplyDeletePam,
DeleteWhat a cute story. I know. Easy for me to say since I'm only hearing it for the first time, right? It's funny how some things we say as children so stick in the minds of the adults that we hear about the over and over again.

I think it's cool that you were able to act in years past. Any chance you could get involved with community theater now?
I have taken part in several Easter and Christmas productions at church. In jr. high I was in the drama club. In high school I took part in The Pajama Game. In each of theseI had only minor parts which I emjoyed playing. It was fun to step out of myself and be someone else for a while.
