Things that hamper your writing: dogs, anxiety, time constraints, and did I mention dogs?

Things you always put in your books: sarcasm, tragedy, hope
Things you never put in your books: erotica, gore
Things to say to an author: Your stories gave me hope/made me laugh/ made me want more.
Things to say to an author if you want to be fictionally killed off in their next book: How nice that you have enough time on your hands to write, I’m friends with you because I think you’ll be famous one day (a woman actually said this to me), Are you still doing that writing thing?
The nicest thing a reader said to you: I couldn’t stop thinking about your story. Will you be writing more in that world?
The craziest thing a reader said to you: I liked everything about your book, I just wish it was more like a Taiwanese Firefly.
