Quotes
They are emotionally exhausting to write but they’re a hell of a good time. The writing of the hero tends to be predicable because they’re driven by their morality, but you never know what a societal villain will do. They’re driven by their own code of survival and that makes for a fascinating story.
I’ve been inspired by everything from a television commercial, to the pattern on a blanket. I’ll see or hear something striking and create a storyline around it. I don’t understand it, it’s just the way my brain works.
