I'd like to know how you approach your creativity in terms of a job. In particular, how do you find the balance between needing to give yourself room to be creative and needing to meet deadlines?
Bonnie Burton
Good question! Creativity is a slippery beast. If you don't write when the creativity bug hits, you could end up forgetting a great idea or losing out on the momentum of passion. Deadlines are important -- they have the word dead in it for a reason! But without creativity as a writer, you'll be lost forever. So keep balancing creativity with time management so you can meet your deadlines and be happy with your work.

Hi Bonnie, this may seem pretty odd, but I was watching an old VF podcast when you mentioned that if you were ever a P.I you'd have to be a pacifist P.I. I laughed, but the idea of 'Bonnie Burton: Pacifist P.I' has been circling in my head ever since. So if I actually wrote a fanfiction of this, would you mind? I imagine her being trained by Magnum (who might be a werewolf) and getting involved in supernatural crimes.
