#PennedPossibilities 988 Tell us about your MC’s bravest moment.
I haven't written it yet, but she's going to let one of her three closest friends risk his life, not jump in and save him, all to show that she respects him.

#WordWeavers How far beyond the local home of your MC does your story extend?
She is abducted and taken to near Jupiter.

#ScribesAndMakers What's something you've learned in recent research?
Not recent, but my favourite obvious-once-you-know-it fact is that the time it takes to get from one planet to another would vary wildly based on where they both are in their orbits.

#ScribesAndMakers How do you feel about illustrations in (non-comic) books?
They're great if they're integrated into the narrative. No objections at all. Adults used to enjoy engravings in books. It's only the last hundred(?) years that that was associated with children's literature.

#WordWeavers If your MC lived in our world, would they have good financial credit?
No! They are attuned to a whole different way of living. The concept of financial credit is alien.

#PennedPossibilities 987. Do any of your characters have an unusual or uncommon pet?
No, but that's a good idea, too!

#WritersCoffeeClub Must writing always be in complete sentences?
Nah. Not always unnecessary. People don't always talk that way. Right?

#WritersCoffeeClub Name a writer whose voice is just exquisite.
Claire North's ITHICA is *beautiful*. She writes it in the voice of Hera, the goddess.
