What will you be looking for in an editor?

What will you be looking for in an agent?

Do you have a plan of action for your querying? Do you think you will send out a few letters at first and see if you get any nibbles? Or do you think you’ll mail out a bunch at a time?

Topic: Friends and Writing

Do you find it difficult to be in a situation where your best friend is a writer as well? What are the pros, cons, joys, frustrations? What are the most challenging aspects of the situation? The most rewarding? What are your thoughts on the topic?

**note to other readers: In case you haven’t already guessed – I am the best friend (next to Bubba, of course). I do not ask these questions to pick a fight. I am merely giving our good friend here the brain-picking feedback she loves so much.

1.) What is your prep process before you begin a novel? (Scene-by-scene plotting, character backstories, ensuring you have a month’s supply of popcorn, etc.) If there have been more than one process, did one seem more efficient for you? And if so which one?

2.) Movies and other books are constantly inspiring my stories and characters. Do you have such inspirations? And if so, what are they? (Also, please explain what has been the biggest inspiration for a story you have written or plan to write. – just for curiosity’s sake)

3.) What is your biggest struggle you experience when writing a novel? (Making sure you keep up the Y! conversations to your crazy best friend at the same time you write is excluded.)

4.) When beginning another novel is it difficult to shift to a different character’s perspective after you have spent so much time on another’s?

5.) What is your preferred POV to write and why?

Bonus ?s:

6.) What has been your biggest challenge you have faced since deciding you want to become a writer?

7.) What was/is your favorite Muppet?
