Which of your books was most challenging to write? I think this was a question addressed to @JessMahler by Walter Thinman but I thought I’d have a go at answering it, too.

For me, I think I’d have to conclude writing How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List was the most challenging.

Normally I write a novel of around about 100,000 words over the course of 6 months. Attempting to write a complete 50,000 word story over the course of 30 days was a new kind of challenge.

When I started it I didn’t have anything in the way of a plot other than knowing I was going to write something based on the Evil Overlord list. That gave me plenty of material to work with and over the course of the month I incorporated a number of contemporary news stories to help bulk it out.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the resulting story.

#WordWeavers Apr 26: How "high maintenance" is your MC?

Lysandra is pretty self-sufficient in environments she was raised to be expected to live in. Being "high maintenance" was a luxury only the ultra-wealthy/powerful could afford, and she's a farmer's daughter.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 26: Recommend a non-fiction book on writing.

Strunk and White: The Elements of Style.

Ignoring punctuation and grammar doesn't make you "punk," it makes your writing less intelligible. If your writing isn't accessible, it isn't going to be read, no matter how cool and badass you think you're being.

#WordWeavers 26/4: How ‘high maintenance’ is your MC?

My protagonist is pretty easy going. However, one of my newly introduced characters who he's looking out for, Cassie, a Gothic Belly dancer (apparently it's a real thing, look it up), has an extremely high metabolism.
Despite being of a petite stature she packs away the calories at a prolific rate to fuel her dancing.
