I do outlines when I'm writing with someone, but they also need to have a certain amount of freedom.

I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.

What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.

I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.

I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale.

I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start.
