As luck would have it, two friends have volunteered to be my guinea pig in this arena. One of them has self-published two books and one is working on her first book. I've kicked over some questions and can't wait to see their responses!
How about you guys? What kinds of questions would you like to see me asked of those who are published and those who are not?
What inspires you?

ReplyDeleteWhat author has inspired you the most?
What do you hope your readers feel upon completing your novel?
Both are great suggestions. Thank you!

Ooooh, good one! Thanks, Erin!
DeleteI write a lot and for several different audiences. I find if I'm just myself and let it flow, it works best. But, good questions to ask the powers that be might be what do you do when you get stuck on a train of thought or overwhelmed with the best order to present your information?
ReplyDeleteWishing James all the best - keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteAsk them if their ideas start with plot or character.
