Are you a plotter or a pantser?
I confess I am a ‘planster.’ No, that’s not a typo. J I am mostly a plotter, but then I fly by the seat of my pants after the outline is fleshed out when I’m on a roll with the story. I transition from plotter to panster. Hence a planster is born.
When you’re writing, who is more in control, you or your characters?
Oh boy, definitely my characters. They take over the story and there is no stopping them.
Can you write sex scenes at any time or do you have to be “in the mood?”
I love what I write and I can pretty much write a sex scene whenever because as soon as I get back into the headspace of my characters the sex scenes evolves naturally. The characters make it happen, not me. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. J
What do you like best about writing?
I love that I can do something creative, something that I dream up and then run with. It is a delicious feeling to connect with a story as it evolves and then to share it with my readers.
What is the most difficult thing about writing?
I have to say the editing. If I could just write and write and write all day long I’d be a happy camper. But there is editing to be done in every book and it’s what makes the bookwork, and better than that it makes the book sparkle. Sort of like getting your teeth cleaned. Not fun but the end result is worthwhile.
What do you like about writing series books?
I haven’t written many series books yet but I am eager to do so as I have many readers who ask for more when a book ends. They want to know what happens next…
Good news! Both Cockpit and Bottoms Up are going to be part of a series. Cockpit is part of the Throttle Up series. I think writing a series offers readers and me the opportunity to delve even deeper into the wonderful characters we all come to love and sometimes even hate in my books.
Thank you so much for having me Kate. It was a pleasure to stop by and chat.
Best,
Kate
