Writing Style

Mostly self-taught. Took a few writing classes in college, but that's about it.
Heavy on dialogue and characterization. Only describes what's necessary.
Fun Personified: I'd much rather someone enjoy my stories than analyze it...if I can't have both, of course.
Beige Prose
Viewers Are Geniuses: I'd rather do this than assume you're idiots.
Shown Their Work: I do insane amounts of research before I write about anything.
Artistic License: If I have to, I will bump reality to the curb for Rule of Cool, Rule of Sexy, Rule of Scary, etc.
Author Appeal: I tend to put in a lot of things that attract/intrigue/interest/turn me on.
Genre Savvy/Dangerously Genre-Savvy: One of my basic characterization rules is: "If the audience can figure it out, then so should my character."
Rouge Angles of Satin: Unforunately, as I get older, my typing skills seem be getting worse.
