10. Did you try to go back and fix it, or did you follow through?
I didn’t realize how to fix it until there was no time.

11. Do you edit while writing or after the draft is done?
A little bit of both. I can’t stand red and green squiggly lines across my draft.

Here are my answers to Vicki Orians.

1.      
What two characters would you like to see battle each other?

Oh this is a good question. I could come up with lots of ideas but off the top of my head I would say Brike against Isaac Kierken.

2.   
   Who is your greatest inspiration?

When it comes to writing, it is my mom who has published two of her books.

3.    
  If you could change places with any book character, who would it be and why?

I’ll pick one of my own, Mortagragh. He’s quite stealthy and I’ve always wanted to be stealthy although my life hasn’t really called for it.

4.     
Sum up your current Wip in one sentence.

An invading enemy that does not realize there being manipulated to serve another person’s agenda.

5.     
Are you a plot-driven writer or a character-driven writer?

Definitely a plot-driven writer; however I like to try and come up with unique characters.

6.      
What is your biggest fear?

I think I answered this above in another set of questions.

7.      
When you walk into a book store, where do you go first?

Sci-fi and fantasy.

8.     
Cats or dogs?

Cats.

9.    
  You’ve just been placed in the witness protection program. What’s your alias?

The name that has been pressing on my mind lately is Robert Knarles. However, if such a thing happened, I couldn’t use that alias now can I.

10. 
Would you rather live in outer space or under the sea? Why?

The sea; it is almost as much as a mystery to me as space.

11.
  If you had to lose one of your senses, which one would you choose to live without?

This is a hard one. I think I would reluctantly give up smell. I love smells but I don’t think I could live without sight and hearing or the others.
