something to help getting jumpstarted again.

The mission for those of us who answer the questions, should we accept it, is to stay positive about our writing and ourselves, but to also be fair about our shortcomings.1. Of the fic you’ve written, of which are you most proud

01) Me On My Way To You, Kara's Last Chance, maybe a couple others. Those are the ones that still give me feels when I reread them

Yep. You read Me On My Way to You. I love that one, even if it does make me cry. Thank you. I'm glad it works for other people, too.

I couldn't begin to say what it was about Kara that made me fall in love with her, but what I love about writing her is definitely her complexity - I can write her so many different ways, and it's all just a tiny bit of her character.

Well, if Dean Winchester likes my smut, I have won the internet. :D

I actually think that everyone should learn to write smut. It's the prefect encapsulation of rise and fall of a story.

I'm lucky, I guess, that I like writing it. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable to write it. It makes me uncomfortable to try to write purely m/m smut. I just don't get it, so it all comes out stilted or unrealistic. Ugh. We all have our things, the good ones and the bad ones. :/

I hadn't really thought of it that way, but it is, isn't it? The build-up, the conflict, the resolution, the aftermath, it's kind of all there in a sexual encounter, even if there's no actual sex involved.

I also think it's a really good lesson in the pitfalls of too much upfront exposition and pacing.
