That allows me to leave a portion of the novel that isn't coming to me and write parts that are flowing. If that doesn't work, I write short stories about what my family is doing at the moment. It helps me to create believable characters and inject interest into mundane things. (less)

For me, the best part of writing is when someone says to me that my work has left them thinking. I love when a reader tells me that they have become self-reflective because of something they read. I love to write stories that leave a reader asking how they would have handled a situation.

Also, I love when a reader identifies with my villain. To me, the villain is always the hero of their own story. If I write the villain properly, a reader should be able to see what they were doing and why they were doing it. When a reader says they found the villain terrifying, but they sort of didn't blame them, then I know I hit the right nerve. (less)
