In a kindly effort to avoid repetitious threads, I have prepared this universal answer-'em-all post to which I will refer future postees (yes, that's a real word).
Now I can get on with the real business of writing.
Thank you for listening, and have a nice day.
EDITED TO ADD:
If anyone else wants to play the game, here's a list of prompts:
Simply quote this post, delete all the crap and add your own answers to the above list. There! You now have a post to which you can refer people.
- No I don't outline.
- Yes, I would use a prologue if necessary. Same for epilogues. I also read them when I find them in books.
- No, I don't like the Twilight saga and I don't think Stephenie Meyer can write for shit.
- Same goes for Dan Brown.
- No, I've never read LotR, although I've tried to. I got 180 pages into it and decided I'd rather have a bikini wax.
- I might use a pseudonym one day if I cross genres or to separate my YA work from my erotica.
- I hate, hate, hate fanfic and call it what it is - theft of intellectual property.
- I have no problem with profanity. If my characters swear, I let them. This does not reflect on my morality and anyone who says it does is welcome to read someone else's books.
- Same with sex. My characters fuck like bunnies.
- Yes, yes, yes. I get days too when I feel like I suck at writing. Then I look in the mirror and realise how fabulous I am and get the hell on with it.
- I don't believe in writer's block. I'm not that lazy.
- I would happily write cruelty to animals and/or children if the story called for it.
- Sometimes I write to music. Sometimes not.
- I write mostly in sequence but with my latest WIP, I've realised I need to go back and add a chapter or two to explain the female MC's relationship with one of her lovers - also a female.
- I'm a night owl. I can't write in the morning. Don't want to. No way, no how.
- I'd never self-publish. EVER. If you have to pay someone to publish your book, there's something wrong with your book. No. Way. Jose. Ain't gonna happen. Nuh-huh.
- Colin Farrell is the hottest damn piece of ass on the planet. End. Of.
Now I can get on with the real business of writing.
Thank you for listening, and have a nice day.
