Sorry I'...Hi Lindsay, and happy birthday to you. Sorry I'm late getting over here. I've been down with a cold this week. The weather is cold turning to snow here. Yuck.<br /><br />I have a couple questions for you:<br />1 - Since you say you're a pantser, do you develop your characters before you start writing or do you let them unfold, too? I've always wondered hoow it works.<br /><br />2- Do you have an idea in your head (a mental plot so to speak) for the major events in your story and then just write to get to those points or do you just write and let the story reveal itself to you as you write? <br /><br />3- Now that Don't Cross the Countess is released, what's the next project you're working on? <br /><br />I'm glad you didn't give up writing, your stories are great!<br />Stephanie Michels, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766140500207764177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797770643290331847.post-54744128213992815202013-11-07T20:53:26.535-05:002013-11-07T20:53:26.535-05:00So glad you persevered, Lindsay!
