Two little words: What if?
My mind is constantly asking this question about everything. What if dogs could talk? What if I had wings? What if marshmallows are sentient?
Many times, my brain answers the question simply and moves on. Lots of stories have addressed talking dogs. If I had wings, I would fly. Sentient marshmallows is rather... disturbing. May need to think about this some more, or not.
Sometimes when I think about a What if question, a story is born. For example, Alpha Coder started with the question, What if werewolves worked at a software company?
Once a story kicks around enough in my head, it needs to be let out. Usually I park ideas in a list. When one gets to the top, I write it.

Klaine.
I started watching Glee at what turned out to be a cross roads in my life. I had been working as an Engineer for many years but was interested in trying something else. Glee reminded me of who I was in high school. I saw which goals I had achieved and what I still had left to do.
I already thought Kurt was an amazing character and when he met Blaine... I was hooked. Believe or not, this was the beginning of my journey towards becoming a romance writer. This love story. Seeing these two boys find their happy ending.
Now I tell stories about men finding their happy endings.

Hi Fadia,
I'm so glad you enjoyed Genetic Redux.
I definitely want to do more with this universe. I've got an outline for a novel. Things get much more complex. I'm not sure when it will reach the top of my todo list to write it.
Thanks,
--Kathryn
