What do you write well? What part of your fiction is your best craft skill?
The characters. I've been writing since I was about 7 years old (so that's over twenty years at this point). Writing is one of the few things I have confidence that I'm good at. I can set a scene, tell a story, guide you through an intricate plot. I can play in various genre's and settings, but the one thing that's always come easily to me is the characters. I can create a character in a paragraph, or in a five-thousand word exposition pieces. I can let you into their minds in a 500-word backstory segue, or let you delve into their past via a flashback. I love writing about characters, and my stories are always character driven. The characters, for me, are the most important part of a story. If I can't get you invested in the characters, and caring about what happens to them throughout the course of the plot, then why would anyone read my books?
