Our Interview with
Margaret Mitchell, on her
book “Gone with the
Wind”.
A new book that has come to the light, is “Gone With the Wind”.
We set a book interview with Margaret Mitchell. Here’s what she had to
say,”Mitchell what inspired you to write, ‘Gone With the Wind’?”
“Well my families were in many wars and battles, so I wanted to give a
different account on war, than what many have read and that are different
from the stories, I have heard.”
“How did you really begin to write your book? Like were there any particular
ways?”
“I know this may sound different, but I started with the last chapter first!”
“Wow!’
“I then gradually wrote all my chapters in no particular order of course. I
mean I knew how I wanted my characters to be. So I guess it was no
trouble at all!”
“How did you keep this, what 1,000 page novel a secret? I mean it must
have been hard.”
“1,037 pages,was very hard to keep a secret. I hid it under a towel. So no
one would know and, absolutely nobody looked under it. Anytime I had
company I just threw my towel over my Remington Typewriter and all my
manuscripts. I mean it was so heavy, so I had no other choice.”
“So are your characters based off of anyone in particular?”
