Transcript of Emily's LOST DAYS Author Talk
 Full transcript of S.O.S. Author Talk with Emily the Strange creator Rob Reger from Sept 23, 2009 (including illustrations from The Lost Days) Halloweenieth: I have eyes everywhere, Nothing is hidden from me Moderator -Did you use ouija board as a source of inspiration while you worked on the novel? ROB the STRANGE Emilyville, CA Not this time. but i am sure to consult my new Emily Talking Board to help with the next novel we are working on...Dark Times! EmilyBemily: -When everything has fallen out of place, who will remember me? -When did you decide that short stories and comics just weren't enough for Emily? -How did you build the plot of this novel? -How do you feel about my recent school project where I turned Emily into Jane Eyre in order to bring the sense of gothic literature alive in the novel Jane Eyre? hehe -More questions to follow...

As far as plot goes, we brainstormed a number of ideas, all asking the question of "How do we introduce Emily to an entire new world of readers, while not making it boring or redundant for our current Emily afficianados?" My answer was that Emily has amnesia, and thus will be finding out who she is at the same time the reader does. and those of us who already knew she was Emily from the getgo, got to appreciate her frustration in not knowing who she was... really all the plots get bounced around several times until we land on something we consider to be worth digging deep into...
