08:What’s the best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten?

Oooo. That’s really hard!!! I’ve been gifted with some incredibly thoughtful, detailed feedback over the years! I really honestly don’t think I can single out a best piece. I know that I’m happy any time a story had a deep emotional impact on people. The things that make my heart particularly sing are when people say that Sherlock in particular sounded very Sherlock-y or that particular romantic moments really got them. My all-time longest comment-leaver ever is my beloved @flannelsaurus​, though. Amazingly detailed feedback, for which I’m forever grateful!

25:What advice would you give to young writers?

READ. Feed your brain good quality literature of a variety of styles! Less Danielle Steele/John Grisham (entertaining as that stuff is) and more classic literature. And boring as it is, grammar and punctuation are just so important. If your story isn’t spelled correctly, you instantly lose credibility. Read, read, read. :)

28:Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?

Hmmmm. It depends on the story!! Ok - I’ll just say that the middle is the most mysterious, lol, I essentially write mentally. I always know how something is going to start, how it’s going to end, and several of the major points between those two events. I can’t overplot, though - the story reveals itself in its own time, in its own way. So I suppose that makes my answer “the middle”. :)
