Serious Round
Do you plan or pants it?
I'm a casual planner. I use plot outlines and character sketches, but I'm always open to change. Some of my best scenes have resulted from listening to my characters rather than sticking to the plot oWould you ever agree to be abducted by extraterrestrial aliens?utline.
How has technology hurt or helped you as an author?
Without technology I would still be spinning my wheels. When I landed a well-known agent, I was convinced my dreams were about to come true. But all the romance editors in New York said my books were too sci-fi and all the science-fiction editors said they were too focused on the romance. Luckily, eBooks allowed me to reach an audience that was tired of the same predictable concepts New York has been churning out for decades. Maintaining complete creative control over my work is also wonderful.
