Hi Cornelia. I know I asked you a question before, but I have another one. :) Were you happy with the movie? Do you think they captured your characters well? I personally loved both the movie and the book...what did you think? Thanks! Graycelin

I think they captured some. Dustfinger is brilliant and Mo was of course always Brendan. Farid, Fenoglio and Meggie are wonderful too. But Elinor is wrong despite Helen Mirren being brilliant as well and Capricorn's men are not real. They feel like fake theatre villains - which is not the actors' fault. I also don't like that the story is not so much about Mo and Meggie, but about finding Resa. But....to shrink a book of several hundred pages into a movie of about 90 minutes....that always means the story changes substantially. That's why I don't allow Reckless to be adapted for film.

Before I ask my question, I'd just like to say I LOVE the InkWorld trilogy. I read them back in fifth grade and will be reading them again! I'd just like to know, where did you get your inspiration to write them? I always like to know how authors get inspired to write their books! p.s.: I heard you're making a sequel to Dragon Rider. Super excited about that!!!
