4 – Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the story isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
No. I love particular characters, I write those characters. From time to time someone gets a minor guest-starring role that I didn't expect, but muses have nothing to do with it.
5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a story, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
Wrote it, and cut it out later if it proved irrelevant.
6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
I don't know that I have a preference, more that most of my favourite characters are women, so I write more women. Sometimes I find men easier to write, but I think that's because, in those specific cases, the men are less complex. So I always found Nick easier than Sara, and PJ is a lot easier than Amy.
7 – Have you ever had a story change your opinion of a character?
Not change, but give me a new perspective.
