@EvoOba that the book of Anna isn´t selling real good (he moans us a little, like "no you guys didn´t bought it) and that she is on a official meeting were shes holding a speech, some things were shown (a head, a vinyl cover of the Welcome video, merchandising those stuff) Lorenzo and lulu were both appearing cause at the beginning Mike was to quiet, in this moment he told that they are both have the constantly yet lag, and the poor Lorenzo has to drive the cars then, all in all 45 min, the beginning costs 10 min cause of the technical probs, but it was funny also, cause he speaks with Loenzo and Lulu and told laughing things, you´ll see!

Thanks! Too bad about Anna, the book is amazing 
Yeah, she’s at a conference with friends etc. I’ll watch it when they upload it then 
@EvoOba : I think it is really difficult for authors these days. With all the other media to consume (faster). I admit that I didn’t read her book yet, but I will when I find the time (there is so much I want to read! And then there is youtube distracting me from reading!).
Who has time and a free head to read a book and get it today? Me not, maybe in holywood ähhhhhhh holydays lol
I read the ebook of Learning Not To Drown up to page 50, then I forgot all about all that I’ve read & had to read all over again. At this rate I would never finish the book… 
I think it was not very serious moaning what mike said it was sth like life goes on, she had enough other project and the lil Kenji even,( ot I didn´t even know how she manages that all, Respect.) So I think it´s absolutely no prob, what I forgot to write was a few things to FM,

@The_early_walker What new badge? I dont think I’ve seen it.
As a former bookstore owner I can only agree that books in this modern time is a tough product to sell. I feel bad for all the wonderful authers out there who’ve worked years on their books and then end up having their books being placed on a discount shelf or worse.
The beauty of a book and any form of art is though, that even though the current generation might not understand the concept it, there is always a chance that years from now other generations will. Who knows; maybe Anna’s book will be embraced by future generations like a Van Gogh or a Rembrandt painting.
@The_early_walker : Yeah, I’m in the same position… And no holidays this year (no time… well maybe in december). And I just go a reader from university today with 290 pages (on some pages they printed 4 pages to make the reading a bit of a task I guess) to read that until September. They wrote it’s mandatory to read that. I think, they can’t be serious!!
I was never a big reader, I admit that I started reading again last year when Anna was doing her book club. Since then I’m reading about a book per week. I don’t have time either but I always read before going to bed, it’s soothing.
It’s definitely hard to promote and sell physical copies of books nowadays that technology is so huge. I think it’s sad that almost every book out there exists in e-book form for free. Piracy is killing reading as well. But I think Anna did great overall, it’s amazing she got where she is now without mentioning Mike at all (cause we all know that she could have gone and mentioned him and everyone would be all over her), I can’t wait to see what she releases next.
Anyways, thanks again for letting me know how the chat went.
OT @EvoOba Did you looked in your inbox? sent you a message! At the moment it feels so warm and secure here in the community, sorry, for ME it feels so! What did ya think? it´s totally off topic, mr operator, I know, sorry, but it comes right from my heard!)

The clan is really actuel, follow them!!!
Thanks, have already checked that one out. MSC is the first fansite I check for news…
You´re an expert @EvoOba 
looking at the rock in rio show while lpuing (badge for creating new word) love this place, btw have ya heard about persona writer or writer persona??? 
No, I haven’t heard of it.
the exactly expression was " writer’s persona", I never heard of it but I´m not a Profi in these social networks, I´m a lpu ér, soldier, an easy trooper, with live and soul, but that´s all I do online, maybe profis knew this expression, that´s why I asked you, sorry operator, this was off topic…
I believe it is meant for authors, like the character or personality they put on one of their characters in their book or something. But I’m not entirely sure, you’ll have to google it.

thanx and good night eva! 
Yeah, MSC is a nice site. Great stuff on there, nice pictures too.
A persona is a term indeed used for writers or actors and is basically a character. Like for instance, Dirty Mario is a persona / character I like to use often in the Once Upon A Time stories 
In many cases, wikipedia can be a wonderful friend:

Thanks 
so do you right as persona or do you mixe it up?
ot @gatsie, when do ya came online yesterday, didn´t managed to meet you here, read a bit, think, wrote a mail to ya…not sure 
As a writer, you can do both, really. You can write the story through the eyes of the persona, kind of like in a diary. Or you can write as a viewer that “tells the story” on behalf of the persona. Or you can be a storyteller, describing everything that happens in the world the persona lives in.
Whatever view of the persona you choose to portray, it’s best to keep it simple and stick to one or two views in one story. Otherwise things could become confusing.
Let’s say you write a story about Dirty Mario. And you first write it in Dirty Mario’s perspective / through his eyes and then suddenly you switch to a third-person-view perspective and write about Dirty Mario. This could become confusing for the others reading it and for you as a writer.
But in the end, it’s all art and fun and with the art of writing you as a writer have the freedom to write in whatever style you feel like.
I see my last post in this topic was 17 hours ago. Unfortunately I still do not receive mail here on LPU site. It’s unfortunate but oh well.
