Popular Answered Questions

When writing any book involving time travel it is often hard to keep track of alternate realities and even more so the effects on the "main" reality. What does your writing process look like?

I always outline my stories, but I often end up deviating from the outline anyway because... well, because I tend to change my mind a lot, LOL. "What if" is my favorite question in the world and, with all the moving parts I put into my stories, its REALLY easy for me to stray from the intended path. It usually turns out for the best. I'm sure the original outline for The Light at the End of the Wormhole would look nothing like the final product. Most of the nonessential plot twists were thought up along the way, then I go back during the editing phase and add foreshadowing, so it's not out of the blue.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

In the past, I would try to power through it -- "just keep writing, just keep writing" -- but that usually leads to awful writing that gets baptised in red ink when it comes time to edit. These days, I just take a step back and find something else to clear my head. Usually, "writer's block" is just another word for "I'm stuck." Mashing the accelerator pedal will just dig you in deeper; it's usually better to back out and take a different road... which usually leads to a more interesting destination anyway.(less)
