#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 28: Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?
Depends on what I’m writing about. Descriptive text tends to be a bit wordy (as is my dialogue, which I’m working on) while actions should be punchy and direct. I don’t think I’m talented enough to engage in long, flighty sections of text that blows the reader away but if my word count is low, I could probably ramble on a bit. 😁

If you had to pick one, would you say writing is more exciting or cathartic process for you?
Definitely more cathartic. I seem to be at my most creative as I have things to process - the screenplay came about after I returned from Japan (one that helped to heal some of the pain of losing my wife) and my current WIP seems to be a reaction to my discovery of my ASD. 🤔
#WritersCoffeeClub 26. How much of a break or hiatus do you take between works?
Oh, years - if it’s creative writing, anyway. If the urge takes me then I jump in with both feet until I burn out (which I kinda have at the moment). Basically, it’s about as rare as planetary alignment.
Film reviews are written almost immediately after I’ve seen the film unless it’s a re-upload to the new site.

A belated, bloated and very silly attempt at reviving the franchise, Expend 4 Balls proves that the joke has long outstayed its welcome by this point. Hopefully, this will be the last one. 🤨
#WritersCoffeeClub 25/3: What do you feel when a loved one reads your work?
I get embarrassed at the thought of anyone reading my work, something I'm slowly working on. I know that my dad reads some of my reviews (not regularly, mind) but honestly, it doesn't matter a great deal to me. I find that I write for myself, not for an audience so much. 😐
