#WritersCoffeeClub March 25: Describe your workflow if it had to be 100% analog.

Write on paper. Write scenes as separate little units. Put scenes in file folders. Rearrange scenes in folders and fill in missing ones as necessary.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 24: Is there a particular reader you keep in mind when you write?

I'm trying to resist that urge because there are two: the SFF/genre reader who's three steps ahead of me bc they know all the tropes, and the BIGOT sff/genre reader who's deliberately misreading everything I do in order to avoid all the "woke."

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 23: What’s the most memorable encounter you’ve had with a reader?

When one person in my new writing group announced she'd been reading my stuff all week. It was really encouraging.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 22: What distracts you the most from writing? How do you deal?

Literally, for real, the pain in my hip from my arthritis, which is the *oldest* thing that's ever happened to me.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 20: What was the most writing related fun you've had?

My writer's group, once every two weeks. I love those people. I really *need* those meetings!

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 19: What’s your narrator’s sense of humor like?

In my current project, the narration has little to no humour at all. It's a dry, quiet style of writing... until the fight scenes.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 17: Does alcohol intake influence your writing?

Nah. I basically stopped drinking. I started getting hangovers for the first time in my life by my early 40s, and it's just not worth it any more.
