I'm a cast-iron-pan guy.

#WordWeavers Mar. 29: How big is your cast of characters?

One protagonist. Three secondary characters. Two supporting. One main protagonist and a "dragon."

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 29: Share one of your writing milestones.

I was really worried before I started my first novel about whether I could even handle more than two characters. I'm very comfortable with two-handers, but an ensemble scared the hell out of me.

But now I *love* writing big scenes with lots of people. Such fun.

#PennedPossibilities 970. MC POV: Have you ever experienced something that couldn’t be logically explained?

"Not really. Eventually, it's all explainable."

#PennedPossibilities 969. Do your stories have happy endings?

I dunno. Define "happy"? They resolve.

#PennedPossibilities 968: Current word count for WIP?

71,740 words.

It feels like it ought to be so much longer...

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 28: Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?

Oh yes. Sometimes, it's less jarring to just say, "It was ten years later," than to try to gesture emphatically to the fact that the characters had aged.

#WritersCoffeeClub - 27 Mar. If you had to pick one, would you say writing is a more exciting or cathartic process for you?

Cathartic, but that's only if I had to pick. My gut instinct is to say "both."

#WordWeavers Mar. 28: When was the last time your MC got excited? Why?

Depends on your definition, but if you mean in a good way, that would be when she stole someone's lunch and it had coffee in a thermos.
