I'm definitely the latter. Not so much that I write out from personal experience, but I write whatever idea consumes my mind. I don't write with a genre in mind. To be honest, I started writing because a lot of the stuff I found on the bookshelves, I just didn't like, and you know the saying...

I'm kind of a mixture of both. I find that plotting on things out on paper sucks the fun out of writing, but I don't ride by the seat of my pants either. I like to come up with the story in my head, see the scenes, and (what I've been doing more recently) order the scenes out on paper.

Nah. I highly doubt it took any inspiration from real life, but who knows?

I have this same problem. I have the biggest issue finishing anything because I get so many new ideas and I end up abandoning one for another. What I've taught myself to do is, when I get a new idea, don't cast it to the side entirely, but write down notes, draw pictures of the characters, write...

I sort of had this with the novel I just finished. One of the POV's storylines seemed kind of boring to me, and I decided I'd go ahead and keep her in there and decide whether I wanted to rid her POV in the end. I decided I'd keep it, since it wound up playing a major part in the main plotline...

I definitely get what you mean. I've got hundreds of incomplete novels on in my documents file because I keep starting new ones. For me, it's because I can't control my imagination, and once I get a new idea, it nags at me until I do something about it. If it's the same way for you, my...

Movie and mini-series'. I actually want to be a filmmaker more than a novelist (in fact, I'm trying to go to school for film), but since I can't make movies right now, I just write everything as a novel. Hopefully, though, I'll be able to turn some of these novels into films.

I personally did prefer the first one, but the second one doesn't bother me. If you feel like the second is necessary, than I'd say go ahead in do it. It sounds like it boils down to style and what going for than anything else.

I tend to call males beautiful, but I also tend to favor male beauty over female beauty. For me, the word "beautiful" more of describes majesty, not so much daintiness, but I think beauty is something that can be attributed to both genders. Typically, I use the word "pretty" only to describe and...

I have beautiful kings, but they're usually evil and no one goes to rescue them. I have one that's a bit similar to the one "A male robot built to give a woman pleasure". Sort of, but he's not a robot and it doesn't end up being any sort of romance or erotica of any sort. He's more of a bio...

I'm a rather picky reader, I must admit, but I think that if there is anything that makes me put a book down the fastest is uninteresting characters. I always say this in my writers group, "If I don't care about the character, I don't care about the story." That's not to say that characters have...

This is very well said. Thanks!

I just say they had brown skin. If they had dark brown skin then I say that had dark brown skin. If they have light brown skin I say their skin was light brown. If they look like they were mixed, I say they look mixed. I don't think there's any need to get real fancy about it. Also, I wouldn't...

I will, admit, I have cried from some of my character's death scenes, but on a scale of 1-10 of how cruel I am, I'd definitely say I'm a 10.

I don't have a favorite. I just like good stories with interesting, well written characters.
