Writing Meme Day 20 - Interactions
20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?
I don't know if this means my favourite characters to write interacting with each other, or my favourite type of interaction to write, so I'll answer both.
My favourite characters to write interacting with each other are undoubtedly Scarlett and Ash. They have such a complicated relationship that they can never be in the same room together without some spectacular drama going down. Like the time he took her to see The Taming of the Shrew at a fancy theatre, got drunk in the interval and chased her down the street misquoting lines from the play...
I also love Glory from the Urban Wolf books interacting with anyone, because he's just a fun, flamboyant drag queen werewolf, and when is that not going to be fun to write about?
In terms of my favourite type of interaction, there isn't a single favourite. I like fight scenes the least, because I'm never sure I've written them clearly enough for the reader to A) be convinced a real fight has gone down and B) understand what happened anyway. I love writing any kind of magical scene - occult rituals, demon summoning, spell work, shapeshifting, etc, and I love good old fashioned witty repartee. I'm particularly fond of some of Yasmin and Ethan's exchanges in AFTERLIFE. If I do say so myself, I think I do good dialogue, and I loved writing their scenes in Suicide Notes where they drank cocktails and traded barbed insults.
21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What’s the most interesting way you’ve killed someone?
25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
26. Let’s talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him!
27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters.
28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there’s nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.
29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
