Sew, It's some Trivia

I had so much fun doing up trivia for Do Take This Quest? that I think I'll do some for Sew, It's a Quest as well. How does that sound?

Sounds like fun?

Alright, then, I'll get right on it!

•  - It went from initial idea to published in less than a year an a half.
•  - I chose to do it for YWP NaNo 2010 because, of all the stories I had running around in my head, it was the best thought out and, at the same time, not very worked on.
•  - I had worked on it that summer, under the title No Longer a Dream where it was going to be from Rosamond's perspective.
•  - At the time, the series title was going to be called Beyond the Ever Afters.
•  - Robin came to me complete with name, basic back story, and basic appearance one day when I was folding laundry.
•  - Eric was originally going to be named Araclee.
•  - Robert was going to be named Rednal.
•  - They're both glad I changed their names.
•  - I deleted an entire chapter October 31st.
•  - I finished the rough draft before 7 AM November 30th. It was 30,017 words long. My goal had been 30,000.
•  - After writing a few chapters/scenes that had evaded me the first time I wrote it, it was about 42,000 words.
•  - I cut the last chapter out because it was anti-climatic. It worked better as the beginning of Book 2. This brought it down to 38,000.
•  - Robin stole the personality of Clara from Water Princess, Fire Prince, which has forced me to rewrite Clara's character.
•  - Sew, It's a Quest has actually inspired at least on person to actually write a book (beyond my immediate family) I know this because she commented on one of my posts. This comment came on a day that I was in the depths of frustration and wondering if I should just scrap the whole idea of writing and get a job selling apples instead, so it was a real encouragement.
•  - Another title I considered was The Needle and the Sword, but it didn't quite work.
•  - There wasn't a single pun in the book until I decided to name it Sew, It's a Quest. 
•  - The Punch Line was the first pun I came up with to put in it.
