#WritersCoffeeClub 2.15 — How big are your settings?

To make this one easier on myself, I'll talk about my current WIP. I won't mention everything else of mine in my writing portfolio. The setting in this story is a small area in Scotland. It takes place in Moray. It made things easier just to focus on something smaller rather than a huge, vast continent or an entire world for once.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.6 — From start to finish, how much time elapses in your current WIP?

Well, I can't give away any spoilers to my readers here. I suppose you'll just have to wait and see. But I will say this, that it's a sizable chunk of time, at least.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.8 — How imperfect is your pacing? Do you consider imperfection a sign of your humanity?

These questions are rather thought-provoking. Maybe that *is* a sign of our humanity, and mine, of course. No one can be the perfect writer. I don't mind my pacing, though.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.9 — Do you subscribe to 'show, don't tell?' Why, or why not?

Not really. I never overdo the "telling" part, though, but maybe that's just because my writing style is a bit different. You can do both in moderation without giving away too much. As an author, we're "telling" the story.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.10 — Talk about a work which subverted your expectations, in a good way.

This one's giving me a tough time of things. I do one of two things, either go into a book without expectations, or I'm drawn to something that everyone's talking about (and they seem to adore) and I genuinely end up loving it as well. So, that doesn't help. In general, I try not to get my hopes up or to have expectations.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.11 — What time of day is most productive for you? Why?

Nighttime. I'm a little night owl. It's when I have my peace and quiet, when I'm all alone and can be left to my own devices (which is sometimes dangerous).

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.12 — How unique is the setting of your current WIP?

The year is 1890, and this story takes place in Moray, Scotland. It's the perfect spot in Scotland for a paranormal romance to take place. How could I *not* choose it? It's such a beautiful area. Sprinkle in supernatural/paranormal creatures, of course, and that's the premise.
