Karen: Welcome, Cecily! It’s great to have you here today! *virtual handshake*

Cecily: Stunning to be here! Thanks!

Karen: Let the fun begin! Can you tell my readers what’s the weirdest thing you like to eat?

Cecily: Well, I make a lot of soups. We have a crock pot, so I’ll occasionally just root around the pantry, find some bizarre stuff, and throw it in. Like those mushrooms that look like seaweed. Or the gross dogfood-looking nuggets that are actually textured vegetable protein. We’re mostly vegetarian, so cooking is always an adventure.

Karen: Sounds exciting to me! Speaking of adventures...tell us about your novel, Prophecy Girl, what’s it about?

Cecily: I hate this question because I never know whether to give plot, theme, character arcs, or what. I guess I’ll say it’s about a well-intentioned girl, Amelie Bennett, who despite being a total screw-up, manages to get blamed for the downfall of an entire angelblood race. Thematically, it’s about determinism and free-will. Characterologically, it’s about recognizing that there are demonic sides to every angel, and angelic edges to every demon. But the gift of being human is that we get to choose who we are, every day.

Is that vaguely prophetic enough for you? ;-)

Karen: Totally. Love that answer! And I, too, am not a huge fan of that question, but I'm evil so I had to ask! :P How did you come up with the title? 

Cecily: Oh, that’s easy. My daughter picked it. In the book there’s a prophecy that says Amelie’s destined to kill everyone she loves. The problem is, it’s 100% accurate… but you know how tricky prophecies are.

 Karen: They can be tricky, for sure...only slightly more tricky than negotiating book deals. ;) What was the first thing you thought/did when you received the offer?

Cecily: Besides pass out? LOL! I actually got the offer in the midst of a rousing game of laser-tag with my six-year-old son. So, the first thing I did was shoot some little punk-kid who was trying to take down my boy. Then I ate a pizza.

Karen: LOL That's awesome! A contract, laser-tag and pizza...For the win! Will there be a sequel to Prophecy Girl?

Cecily: Already in the works! Angel Academy II will be available next year from Entangled Publishing. (Which, by the way, is the most stunningly awesome, supportive, fantabuloriffic group of publishing professionals I’ve ever met. EVER! And my editor, Liz Pelletier, is a bloody genius. No kidding! Like, smarter than Joss Whedon and Stephen Hawking put together.)

Karen: They really are a fantastic publisher! And, WOW, smarter than Joss and Stephen...Super impressive! Rock on, Liz! (Eep! Random question alert!!) Be honest, what’s the longest you’ve gone without washing your hair? 

Cecily: Hmm, I took a camping trip to the boundary waters of Canada once, so lemme see… 6 days. Yup, 6 days! But I did go swimming every day, so that sort of counts, right? RIGHT? 

Karen: Um, since there was no shampoo involved, I'll count it! Back to the hard-hitting questions…What new projects are you working on? 

Cecily: Besides Angel Academy II? Well, I’m working on a middle grade--which I LOVE--called GhostRunners, written for the express purpose of giving my daughter a shot at being on the cover of a book. She ordered me to write something with a protagonist her age who looks like her. I tried to tell her that’s not really how it works, but she insisted.

Karen: Too cute! I look forward to hearing more about GhostRunners. What were some of the biggest challenges to getting published? 

Cecily: Oh, low self-esteem was by far the biggest challenge. I didn’t query too many folks because I didn’t think I had a shot. Then I entered the Golden Heart, and one of the judges was so impressed, she contacted me and basically bullied me into querying. C.J. Redwine… LOVE HER!!! Then I got a kick-ass agent a few weeks later (Pam vanHylckama Vlieg), then a few weeks after that had a contract.

Karen: That's so awesome!! Ooh, totally agree, C.J. is a phenomenal lady. I took her query/synopsis classes online. So great! Now let’s delve a little deeper. Shall we? *winks* When did the desire to write consume you?

Cecily: I believe it was a Wednesday. Maybe a Thursday… no Wednesday. Whatever. I used to make up stories for my kids at bedtime, and one day (mid-week) my daughter said, “Mommy, you should write this down.” Ever since she’s been helping me plot and giggling at the right parts and telling which boys are cute and which are tools. That was almost four years ago.

Karen: LOL Love it! Do you have a day job? Or do you write full-time? 

Author photo: Cecily White

Cecily: I have a zillion part-time jobs. I’m a psychologist by training, an adjunct university professor when convenient, a health-room volunteer at the kids’ elementary school when needed, a part-time financial aid coordinator at Missouri State University, and a full-time mom whenever the kiddos are willing to interact with me. Which is almost all the time because, yes, I AM that cool… For now, at least. :) 

Karen: You, busy, busy, lady, you!! So, tell me, when you have a chance to put fingers to keys... Who controls your characters? You or them?

Cecily: I wish I did. But they do. They run amok. They argue while I’m trying to sleep. They make inter-dimensional messes while I make dinner. It’s chaotic. But you know, I don’t mind a bit. Because the worst thing in the world is when they stop talking to me. So I try my best to value them while they’re there, and take them into the world with me whenever possible.

Karen: That's all you can do! ;) Where do you write? (office, coffee shop, train, etc.)

Cecily: Office, coffee shop… no train. I would if we had a train. Airplane, occasionally.

Karen: How cool would it be to write on a train?! Just sayin'. How long does it take you to write a book?

Cecily: The quickest was ten weeks. The longest was seven months. But I’m ALWAYS revising. Always. I’ll see something in life that reminds me of a scene I wrote two months ago, so I’ll go back and mess with it. I have a whole bunch of manuscripts that are “almost ready” which my agent may kill me over. But I hate to show anything to anyone before I’m proud of it, you know?

Karen: I totally do know! Okay, so prepare yourself, another random question has arrived. If you could have telepathy (that could be turned on/off) or invisibility, which would you choose? And why?

Cecily: Telepathy. It’s why I became a psychologist—to understand how people operate. They’re not as mysterious as you’d think. If you listen well, you’ll find that everyone makes sense… whether a florid psychotic, or an anti-rational sociopath. Everyone has a story, and every story has a flow. I like learning that flow of humanity. It’s what makes life interesting.

Karen: Very cool. Everyone has a story...I like that! Before we go, you must face the rapid fire round. Dun, dun, dun…

Coffee or tea? Coffee.
Chocolate: dark or milk? Dark. No, milk. No, dark. Well, crud!
Flats or heels? Running shoes.
Yes or no? HECK, YES!!!
Star Wars or Star Trek? J.J. Abrams’ STAR TREK. (Chris Pine… yum!)
Ice: crushed or cubed? Dude, cubed!!!
Italian or French (food, not men)? Italian… I think.
Panster or plotter? Plotser.
Paper or plastic? Fabric. We bring our own.
Vampires or werewolves? Vampires (They smell better.)
Pencil or pen? Pencil.
Firemen or cops? Firemen.
Mountains or beach? Ooo, mountains! With Chris Pine! Dressed as an intergalactic fireman!

Karen: Thank you so much for stopping by, Cecily! Feel free to visit any time!

Cecily: I plan to lurk here often, thanks. GROUP HUG!!!

Author Interview -- Renita Pizzitola AND an Excerpt from Gossamer! #youngadult #paranormal #romance

Title: GOSSAMER

Author: Renita Pizzitola

Publisher: Lyrical Press, Inc.

Series: Gossamer

Release date: October 8, 2012

Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal/Romance

Pages:facebook/blog/goodreads

Website: www.renitapizzitola.com

Twitter: @renitapizzitola
Buy Links: Amazon/Barnes and Noble/ iBooks/Lyrical Press

Karen: Welcome, Renita! It’s great to have you here today! *virtual handshake*

Renita: Hi Karen! It’s great to be here!

Karen: Let the fun begin! Can you tell my readers what’s the weirdest thing you like to eat?

Renita: I don’t really think I eat anything that unusual. I do like to put salt on watermelon which my husband thinks is weird, but he doesn’t even eat watermelon so I think he’s weird.

Karen: Tell us about your novel, GOSSAMER, what’s it about?

Renita: Gossamer is based on Irish legends in a modern day setting and ends with a classic fairy tale twist. Half of the story takes place in our ‘human world’ and the other half takes place in the magical faery realm known as Tír na nÓg. The story focuses on Kyla, who goes by Kylie. She’s never really considered herself to be anything special—just a normal girl coasting in the middle, but when she meets Grant things begin to change. She soon discovers she’s part of an elaborate plot to save two children, and now she’s in danger. With her life in Grant’s hands, she flees to a world she never even knew existed, but as more secrets are revealed she discovers her new life comes with a price—her freedom. 

Karen: How did you come up with the title?

Renita: I wanted something that made readers not only think of faeries but somehow pertained to the book. Gossamer makes me think of something that is thin and delicate, like faerie wings or a veil, which I think is fitting for Kylie’s life. Her true identity was thinly veiled and as secrets are exposed the delicate thread holding her life together unravels. 

Karen: What was your favorite part/scene to write in GOSSAMER?

Renita: My favorite scene is near the end so I can’t say much...but, I can say it has to do with a little ambrosia wine mishap. I love this part because we get to see a different side of Kylie and there is an interesting exchanges between her and one of her love interests.

Karen: Tell me about the cover! Did you have a say in the process for choosing it?

Renita: The cover is gorgeous! I did have some say in it, but I know Lyrical creates amazing covers so I put my trust in them. I basically wanted Kylie on the cover in a long dress and that’s exactly what I got! :)

Karen: How long did it take for GOSSAMER to be published (from offer to release date)? Tell us a little about the process.

Renita: I signed with Lyrical in early January 2012, so the process took right around ten months. I love my editor, Abby, and she and I went through Gossamer several times to get it just right. She always knew where to ask more of me and I have to say those are now some of my favorite scenes. Although, eventually, she just had to tell me to back away from the keyboard. Do authors ever think their work is really done?

Karen: What was the first thing you thought/did when you received the offer?

Renita: I reread the email. Like three times. Maybe four. I didn’t believe it because I had submitted to Lyrical only a few days prior to receiving the offer. Initially, I assumed it was another rejection. After a while I guess you just anticipate them, but when my brain processed what I’d just read I was shocked...then I emailed my critique partners...then I freaked out some more...and then my brain slowly started functioning again.

Karen: Will there be a sequel to GOSSAMER?

Renita: Yes! GILDED is book two and its expected date of publication is June 2013 from Lyrical Press. I love this book because Kylie learns more about herself and really develops as an individual. She’s more determined, takes more risks, and discovers how powerful she can be.

Karen: (Random question alert!!) Be honest, what’s the longest you’ve gone without washing your hair?

Renita: Hmm, I’m sure there was some point when my kids were newborns and a shower that lasted over five minutes was unheard of, but I think sleep deprivation erased them from my mind. Although, more likely, my brain might have just repressed those memories.

Karen: Back to the hard-hitting questions…What new projects are you working on?

Renita: Well, edits are under way for DREAM ON which is an adult paranormal romance to be released in the spring and I’ve been working on GRANTED, the final book in the Gossamer series. I’m also trying to squeeze in a new project that has yet to be named. It’s something pretty different for me so we’ll see how that goes. :)

Karen: Is there an author that you’d like to stalk, uh, meet?

Renita: Of course! There are several, but I’d have to say my favorite author is Richelle Mead. She has excellent worldbuilding, her heroines are always strong and likeable, and she really knows how to create some major chemistry between characters. I also admire her ability to write both YA and Adult.

Karen: What were some of the biggest challenges to getting published?

Renita: Umm, everything? :) I think the hardest part was the fact YA is an over-saturated market. It’s very hard to get noticed. Dealing with rejection is also hard. I think you get used to it and can’t really take it personally but at times it can be discouraging. I think perseverance is a key. You have to just keep submitting and, above all else, writing.

Karen: What was the first thought that crossed your mind when you started editing rounds with your editor?

Renita: Several expletives. Kidding...sort of. I remember thinking, holy crap, I don’t know anything about writing! It was nothing against my editor, she’s amazing, but I had so many ‘unnecessary words’ to omit I felt like I was a step away from writing in haiku.

Karen: Now let’s delve a little deeper. Shall we? *winks* When did the desire to write consume you?

Renita: I remember in second grade putting together a ‘book’ as a class project and absolutely loving it.

Karen: How did you know this is what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Renita: I loved writing short stories for class assignments and my teachers and family always encouraged my writing, but it wasn’t until high school that I really dreamed of writing professionally.

Karen: Do you have a day job? Or do you write full-time?

Renita: I’m a part time preschool teacher and a full time mom. :) My kids have always kept me pretty busy, but I do most of my writing at night, so it seems to fit into my schedule nicely.

Karen: Who controls your characters? You or them?

Renita: I’d like to think I do, but they often have minds of their own. I think letting the characters control it makes for a better story in the end.

Karen: If them, when are they the most persistent?

Renita: I think scenes where emotions are running high. Their exchanges are definitely driven by how they feel and many times go in a different direction than I had planned.

Karen: Where do you write? (office, coffee shop, train, meadow, etc.)

Renita: I write mostly at home but I do take my netbook with me when I’m doing stuff with my kids and always try to squeeze in some writing time.

Karen: How long does it take you to write a book?

Renita: First drafts don’t take me too long when I’m really focused. Sometimes I start a project and have trouble working on it. I typically shelve those and will maybe return to them, but with some projects all I want to do is write and every moment I’m not I’m thinking about it.

Karen: How do you get into the writing zone? And does chocolate help with this?

Renita: A better question would be: What doesn’t chocolate help with? I prefer to write at night and I like to have a block of uninterrupted time. Sometimes I listen to music but not always.

Karen: What do you do in your down-time…if there is such a thing?

Renita: When I’m not spending time with my family, I love hanging out with my friends. They help me maintain my sanity. We’ve known each other since we were kids and they really are awesome friends...which is why I’ve kept them around so long ;)

Karen: If you could have telepathy (that could be turned on/off) or invisibility, which would you choose? And why?

Renita: Ooh, that’s a tough one. It would be pretty cool to communicate with people through telepathy, but I can think of several occasions—both good and bad—where it would have been really nice to just disappear...so I’m going with invisibility.

Karen: Before we go, you must face the rapid fire round. Dun, dun, dun…

Coffee or tea? Coffee

Chocolate: dark or milk? Dark

Flats or heels? Both

Yes or no? Yes

Star Wars or Star Trek? (don’t hate me!) Neither

Ice: crushed or cubed? Crushed

Italian or French (food, not men)? Italian

Panster or plotter? Both, mostly pantser

Paper or plastic? Paper

Vampires or werewolves? Vampires

Pencil or pen? Pen

Firemen or cops? Firemen!!!

Karen: Thank you so much for stopping by, Renita! Feel free to visit any time!

Renita: Thanks for having me, Karen! I enjoyed answering all your questions and it was great visiting with you!

***** 

I took several careful steps forward even as my body was reluctant to move. Every instinct told me to turn around, but I had to know what summoned me. I felt a bit unsettled but couldn’t resist.
I approached a large tree, but instead of my usual oak it was an ash. I felt pretty confident this was where the call came from, so I placed my hand on the tree and slowly peeked around it.

I found a small clearing. The air was still thick, and even though I knew it was daytime, the sun did not shine through the canopy overhead. Next to my large oak tree on the other side of the clearing stood a woman with her back toward me. Had she been on the other side of the oak tree in my last dream?

She had extremely long, blonde hair, almost silvery. The pale strands lay like silken threads down her back in stark contrast to her black attire. She wore a dress with sleeves that puffed at the shoulder then ran tight down to her wrists. The gown tucked in at the waist and billowed out into a full skirt which touched the forest floor. The thick, heavy fabric seemed as if it would weigh down her slender silhouette. Her petite frame looked delicate, and I could tell she was young. She moved her head a little to the side, her hair forming a shimmering veil obscuring any real view of her face. She sensed my arrival and spoke. Her soft, delicate voice drew me in. I took another step forward to hear her better.

Her sweet voice spoke again, “They have found you. They have found you, Kyla.”

How did she know my name? And what did she mean they found me? Did she mean Grant and Conor? They had been looking for me, or maybe she meant Matt. He had found me for The Rite. Either way this wasn’t new information. Yet, I suspected I needed to know something more. Her soothing voice beckoned, and I stepped closer and closer.

Somewhere behind me, I heard a shout. It was a woman’s voice but this one was firm. “Kyla, stop!” I froze at the command. “Turn around!” The voice demanded.

The lady by the tree yanked her head up at a speed no human could match. With her neck craned, she turned her head side to side with quick, sharp, birdlike movements as if trying to place where the other voice had come from.

An uneasy feeling grew within me. Something wasn’t right. I took a careful step backward and a twig snapped beneath my weight. She whipped her head around at the sound. Her white, blonde hair fanned out around her with the rapid motion, finally settling down and exposing her face.

I screamed.

Interview with Author Angelica Dawson!!! Blue Moon House is available now!! @AngelicaDawson

Title: Blue Moon House
Author: Angelica Dawson
Publisher: Naughty Nights Press
Series: Blue Moon
Release date: September 1, 2012
Genre: Erotica, Vampire BDSM
Pages: 45 
  





Karen: Welcome, Angelica! It’s great to have you here today! *virtual handshake*
Angelica: It's a pleasure to be here! I'm so excited about my first release.
Karen: Let the fun begin! Can you tell my readers what’s the weirdest thing you like to eat?
Angelica: It's not really weird by itself, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but I like to roll the bread around the banana like a burrito.
Karen: Tell us about your novel, Blue Moon House, what’s it about?
Angelica: It's about a human sub whose vampire Dom wants to keep her forever. Before she can join him as vampire, however, she will need to convince the other seven vampires of the house that they want to spend eternity with her. Each has their own attribute they are looking for, and she essentially has one chance with each.
Karen: How did you come up with the title?
Angelica: I needed a name for BDSM house and I thought Blue Moon sounded about right. It's a special place, not everyday.
Karen: What was your favorite part/scene to write in Blue Moon House?
Angelica: I really enjoyed writing Julia as a Domme over Harry, her Dom. It was wonderful to play the role-reversal and have her see what he has seen all along.
Karen: Tell me about the cover! Did you have a say in the process for choosing it?
Angelica: Alas, no. But I took one look at it and thought, YES! I love the moon in place of the O, I like the little tattoo on the one girl's shoulder. Best of all, if you don't like the cover, you aren't going to like the book. It really aims for its audience. 

Karen: How long did it take for  Blue Moon House to be published (from offer to release date)? Tell us a little about the process.
Angelica: I was accepted in April and took a week or two to decide to accept the offer. After that it was about two months before an editor was free for me. There weren't any huge changes, so that part went really fast. However, my editor didn't change the filename accordingly, so the publisher didn't know we had finished final draft. So the publisher went ahead and produced a cover, and as soon as that glitch was sorted out, we had a release date, one week later. It was quite a ride getting promotion together that fast!
Karen: What was the first thing you thought/did when you received the offer?
Angelica: My first thought was, “Damn, now I have to consider this.” It wasn't anything to do with the publisher, but my real name publishes YA books, so I had to adopt an entire penname persona, create her from the ground up. It was a bit daunting. I'd submitted BMH completely expecting to get rejected. The first publisher, Evernight, did reject it. I was floored when I got the acceptance and realized I had to actually consider whether or not I wanted to publish this piece. Taking another look at it, I knew I did. So I signed and that day created Angelica. She's more popular than me, which still stings sometimes. Heh.
Karen: Will there be a sequel to Blue Moon House?
Angelica: Not sequels, no. Prequels. After rereading  Blue Moon House a few times, I recognized that each vampire had his or her own story about joining the House. I've already started on the second youngest vampire, Jocelyn.
Karen: (Random question alert!!) Be honest, what’s the longest you’ve gone without washing your hair?
Angelica: Five days. I was camping. :)
Karen: Back to the hard-hitting questions…What new projects are you working on?
Angelica: I have a short story that I submitted for a Service anthology. I am working on a Flash piece. I have the  Blue Moon House prequel. I have an erotic romance serial that I'm thinking of reworking for a novel. There is a Choose Your Own Adult adventure (Male POV) that is about 60% done if I ever get back to that... and about six projects under my real name. (I hate thinking about a list that long)
Karen: Is there an author that you’d like to stalk, uh, meet?
Angelica: Is there an author I wouldn't like to stalk?? I've been to three writing conventions in the last eighteen months and everyone I've met there has had something to show or teach me. I find the best support comes from our colleagues (some of the best criticism, too). If I had only one, I'd have to be a medium, because Robert Jordan is dead. God I want to thumb through all his notes.
Karen: What books have influenced/inspired you the most?
Angelica: Wheel of Time, obviously. Not for Blue Moon House, but world building in general. Tamora Pierce got me into the YA genre with her Lioness quartet. My first novel was a 'lady knight' story (and written while I was in High School... it is complete trash!). I was very active in the Twilight Fandom, so those books definitely spurred me, both into writing again and into erotica as I found a lot of it in the Fandom.
Karen: What were some of the biggest challenges to getting published?
Angelica: Confidence. I didn't think  Blue Moon House would be wanted by anyone. I got discouraged with some other pieces that never found homes. After that, keeping confident. When I didn't have a release date, I let my blog flag because I felt like I didn't have anything to offer. I lose confidence again. I have low self-esteem. Confidence is a real problem for me.
Karen: What was the first thought that crossed your mind when you started editing rounds with your editor?
Angelica: Thank God I had a beta. ;) My beta reader was pretty kick-ass, so my editor had an easy job.
Karen: Now let’s delve a little deeper. Shall we? *winks* When did the desire to write consume you?
Angelica: After reading/listening (I was really into audiobooks) Twilight. Stephanie left us impressions of stories or gaps in time and I wanted to fill those in! So, I started with how Alice and Jasper met. It snowballed from there. I have a whopping one million words posted on fanfiction.net. Around four hundred thousand (yeah, that about four novels), I decided I'd better start writing my own characters and story lines.
Karen: How did you know this is what you wanted to be when you grew up?
Angelica: Did I mention I wrote my first novel in High School? For my Grade 6 final exam, I outlined a soap opera of romantic twists and love triangles and then wrote the first act/episode. I don't remember what I got for a grade, but I think that explains a lot (or maybe it just means I was a weird kid).
Karen: Do you have a day job? Or do you write full-time?
Angelica: I love my day job. I'm an environmental consultant in Alberta. Most of our work is associated with Oil Sands and it is gratifying to know that I'm making a difference there. Even if I were making enough from writing, I'd continue to do field work in the summers (though I might go from three days a week in the winter down to two.) It's parttime through the winter, so that helps me fit the writing in.
Karen: Who controls your characters? You or them?
Angelica: Usually them. I have a really wide arrow saying, 'go this way' and they head in that general direction, doing whatever suits them on the way.
Karen: If them, when are they the most persistent?
Angelica: When they really don't want to go there. They'll meander, they'll back pedal, they'll wander off in a random direction. Usually, I give in. Chances are, they're going somewhere more interesting anyway.
Karen: Where do you write? (office, coffee shop, train, etc.)
Angelica: I have a home office. I also have an old fashioned notebook that goes with me in the car. When we're driving five hours to Fort McMurray, if I'm not behind the wheel, I usually have it in my lap, scribbling away.
Karen: How long does it take you to write a book?
 Angelica: Depends on the book. Depends when you consider the 'start'. I don't do hard outlines. I explore characters and ideas in my head, and when I am obsessed with them (can't sleep because they won't shut up) I know it's time to start writing. Most often, once that first word is on the page, it's only a few weeks. Again, because they won't leave me alone.
Karen: How do you get into the writing zone? And does chocolate help with this?
Angelica: Heh, I do not rely on chocolate, but what isn't made better with some? I don't have a special zone. I just write. If it's not coming, I don't stick at it. I go for a walk, read a book, watch an episode on TV. If the characters aren't clamouring, it's probably not time to write yet. (Note: that's writing their story. I'm usually editing something, promoting something, outlining something... I always have something that I can work on.)
Karen: What do you do in your down-time…if there is such a thing?
Angelica: Not really. My down time is WAY down time. I suffer from a mild case of bipolar. As a result I'm either pounding the words out on the keyboard as fast as my fingers can go because my brain is in overdrive or I'm in bed with the covers over my head wishing the world would cease to exist. My down times are my depressed times and they are awful.
Karen: If you could have telepathy (that could be turned on/off) or invisibility, which would you choose? And why?
Angelica: Invisibility. I'd much rather hear what people are actually saying that what they wish they'd said.

Karen: Before we go, you must face the rapid fire round. Dun, dun, dun…

Coffee or tea? Coffee, but tea is very very good.
Chocolate: dark or milk? Dark. With chili
Flats or heels? Flats. I have bad ankles.
Yes or no? Yes.
Star Wars or Star Trek? Tough one. Wars, but only if you reject eps 1-3
Ice: crushed or cubed? Crushed. Love a slushy.
Italian or French (food, not men)? Italian. I'm a sucker for carbs.
Panster or plotter? Pantser, all the way.
Paper or plastic? Paper, I reuse it much more easily.
Vampires or werewolves? Vampires, of course!
Pencil or pen? Pen. Pencil is much more likely to smudge.
Firemen or cops? Hmmm, I love my geek. I'll go with Firemen.

 Karen: Thank you so much for stopping by, Angelica! Feel free to visit any time!
Angelica: I will definitely return! I hope you'll stop by my blog again as well.
