15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not! That’s easy. Along with the list I wrote a few days ago, about my favorite authors/books, I would have to say the writer I admire most (and know in real life) is Jocelyn Rish. She’s currently fighting it out (and doing […]

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us? I don’t generally map out locations on paper, because I really suck at drawing. There is a map of Fie Eoin somewhere, because I was trying to decide what order to put the Seven Tribes in (I still can’t

13. What’s your favorite culture to write, fictional or not? Doesn’t it kind of seem like they are asking the same exact questions over again sometimes? It does to me. In any case, my favorite fictional culture to write is Fie Eoin’s (see, yesterday), followed pretty closely by Top Secret Project’s (although I can’t tell

12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of world building? Any side-notes on it you’d like to share? This time you really do know what I’m going to say, and it’s Fie Eoin! It had better be – I’ve spent a heck of a long time building that world. I’ve

11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite? I’m pretty sure we discussed this on Day One. Rebecca is by far (well, ok, not far – Kindra’s pretty close) my favorite character to write. I’m not sure I have a least favorite. If I didn’t like writing someone I’d find a way to

10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Holly was attacked by a giant cat with a spiny tail and a distorted version of her own face. This was after she saw the mouse wearing pants run away with a piece of bread in its hands, but before Phooka the Dog

9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them. Creating them? They create themselves and let me get to know them over a long process. It’s kinda like making a new friend. I can always feel a new Character before they actually appear – it feels like being anxious

8. What’s your favorite genre to write? To read? My favorite genre to read is Historical Fiction with a good dose of Fiction. The Light Bearer and Lady of the Light by Donna Gillespie are my current favorites (and have been since I picked them up a few years ago). They are set in ancient

7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters? I listen to music while I do everything. Drive, work, eat, write. Music was my first love, and I love just about all types of music (not so much heavy metal or rap

6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol’ pen and paper? I’m comfortable writing just about anywhere, at any time, as long as I have a pen and paper. For some reason I cannot find my inspiration sitting on a computer. But toss me a notebook and
