A Goodreads user asked Shannon Messenger:

Do you prefer to write on the computer or by hand? Why?

Shannon Messenger I do 100% of my writing on computer. I type faster than I write, and I love being able to cut, copy, and paste the text. Plus, eventually I have to deliver the book to my publisher electronically, so if I wrote the book by hand I'd have to take the time to type it into a computer anyway, and that's double the work.

Sage Flinn

Sage Flinn asked Shannon Messenger:

Miss Messenger, Hello my name is Naomi Brazil (S. L. Flinn is my pen name) and I am "writing" (I'm ATTEMPTING to write) a book. Because of my age and inexperience I doubt t will be published, but I am hoping it will be. I was hoping that if you had time you could tell me about the whole writing process; How it works, what is expected from an author, and if my age (I'm only thirteen) would be a problem? Thank you!

I like to do pretty much anything creative, especially writing. But I always have giant problems with coming up with names, whether for characters or just places. How do you come up with names?
