Vivian Towers asked Meg Collett:

You're writing is short but sharp. You can say so much and describe a scene with just one word. I love that about you. How did you learn to write that way?

Meg Collett Thanks for the question, Vivian! I really appreciate that! Sorry this took me so long to reply! So I put a lot of effort into my descriptions and scene-setting. I think sometimes what you don't say is just as important as what you do. My writing style was heavily influenced by Andrew Davidson (he wrote this book called "The Gargoyle"). His writing was lyrical and very poignant. But he made you feel the scene rather than just read it. I always aim to achieve that! Sometimes it doesn't work but every now and then, it will. And it's great :)
