I rarely have time to read for pleasure since I read such a tremendous amount for work. I do fit in graphic novels occasionally, and I would recommend reading anything by Ed Brubaker especially his CRIMINAL series to learn a lot about great pacing and how to craft truly surprising yet earned twists. Last time we played, we reached a room in the dungeon where our dungeon master intimated there was a trap on the floor.

We spent an hour having our characters strategize ways around the trap—spells, acrobatics, etc. Finally, my husband got frustrated and bored and announced that his character was stepping on the trap! He wanted to shake up the story, see what a bold, crazy move would do for the action. Characters must make mistakes, must make choices that lead to consequences that will yield conflict and drama and interesting plot.

If they never do anything wrong and the action happens to them rather than because of them, why should readers care? If you could have a cocktail or a cup of tea with one person from history, what would you drink, who would it be, and why do you want to hang out with them? The beverage would be coffee dark roast, served black because I pretty much only drink water, coffee, and the very rare root beer or lemonade.

If you won 50 million dollars, what would you do? Would you still work in publishing? I would absolutely still work in publishing—editing is as much avocation for me as vocation. If you could wave a magic wand and have any kind of manuscript land on your desk what would it be about?
