#WritersCoffeeClub 09/18: Do you believe the magic happens in the edit, or do you have a different approach?
The magic happens in the fingers. If the fingers are moving the magic is happening.

#WordWeavers Day 5: If you could collaborate with another author, who would it be?

#WritersCoffeeClub 08/12: Someone asks permission to use AI to write a book in your style outside your usual genre. Do you allow it?
Since when do those sorts of people ask permission?

#WordWeavers 06/28: Do you include in your stories inside jokes for friends or fan groups?

#WritersCoffeeClub 06/16: How do you like to end a story?
Close to but not quite on the last page.
By stopping typing.
By being ambushed by another grander idea.
With beer and tacos and offsite backups.
With the phrase "Well, what do you think?"
One of these days with the phrase "Thank you for the check."

#WordWeavers 06/07: What can make your MC cry?
For Jack tears come at the oddest times. He thinks he's come to terms with the loss of his parents and his home, he weathers the whiplash of changes in his station in life with equanimity but when his little sister gives a hug to his new daughter-by-marriage he can't speak and needs a moment.

#WritersCoffeeClub 06/07: What do you do first when you start a new writing project?
Brain dump and then get back to the work in progress. It's the only way I can finish anything.
When I do finish (or stall out on) a project this means there are plenty of already started projects to pick from.
