#WordWeavers Feb 1: Who is your most despicable character and how do you feel about them?
My antagonist. She's a combination cop / cult leader. She's everything I hate, I think (except she's a woman and a Quebecer, which I don't hate at all).

#WordWeavers Feb 2: Do you enjoy writing "good", "bad" or morally grey characters more? Why?
I get a thrill out of making it obvious that terrible people are terrible. I also get a thrill out of making people who are in the right look like they're in the right.
I loathe, "This person is obviously an asshole... but it's for a secret really good reason!" No. It's not. #RickAndMorty

#WordWeavers 5 Feb: If you found out that someone had to live your MC’s life ... would you change the story?
My god. Yes. JFC. The "inciting incident" is a fourteen-year-old girl getting abducted from her home. If I had the power to prevent that, I would. Then, I'd write a new story about how someone invented a time machine in order to prevent the cult she was going to dragged into from every forming in the first place.

#WordWeavers Feb 9: "Have you ever talked to a reader of your story? How did it go?"
My mother-in-law had a lot of feedback. She was supportive. My wife and friends didn't have any feedback. I think they're a bit too close to me to not see me in the text. I have a writing group that's great. It's like having a writer's room. :)
