I thought it was a good talk wand I liked how he made it sort of interactive.

Tristan Bancks gave a good talk but I would have preferred to be in the google meet seeing as only about 190 people showed up so that I could give questions I came up with during the talk rather thank a week before.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that he wrote one of his books on a type writer

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was great to hear from an author.

Tristan Bancks was a good speaker and was able to give a few interesting tips on writing. However, I think the experience was made much less immersive by the fact that 7E was not in the Meet. This meant we couldn't respond to Tristan's 'would you rather' questions or ask him questions of our own. Also, I think that Tristan spent a bit too much time telling stories that were not really relevant. I would have preferred if he spent more time talking about certain aspects of his writing process that he did not tell us about, such as character development, storyline and world building.

It was really interesting of how he wrote his books. For example the typewriter.

It was a really interesting speech that really pulled my in. I liked how it was funny and we got to learn about his stories. One thing that I didn't really like was that we were not in the real meet.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really interesting to see Tristan's process when he was writing a book. Tristan didn't really write my style of books, so it wasn't particularly entertaining at times. He also didn't cover elements of worldbuilding and character development (especially for antagonists) in stories. Overall, it was still a relatively fun experience, despite not having the information I was looking for.
