Do you visualize what's going on in the story while your writing it? Do you imagine in pictures when you read?
Mary Robinette Kowal
Sometimes I visualize, sometimes I imagine the actual words. It depends on the scene. Often what I will do is daydream the scene and then write it out.
And when I read? Skips the language stage and goes straight to visuals.

Will you ever tell more stories about Jane and Vincent? I just finished Of Noble Family (having read all five books in a row), and I feel bereft having to leave their world! There's so much more I want to know -- future adventures, stories about Louisa and Amey, does Charles become a glamourist, what Jane and Vincent do next... really, anything and everything about these characters. (I love them all so much.)

Mary Robinette Kowal:
I'm listening to the audiobook of "Seveneves," and I'm really enjoying both the book and your performance. I kind of regret reading rather than listening to your (quite excellent) Glamorist books now! My question is this: Do you ever decline to read an audiobook because you just didn't enjoy or respect the book in question? Or because you don't feel like you can do justice to one or more of the characters?
