Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.


Tell me about a story I've never written!

My personal favorite is "I Live to Serve"! Jinx's diary of his life as a minion was hands down the funniest read in a long time. :D I hadn't realised before how stressful it is for him to come up with new names for Glorificus on a daily basis.

Stressful for me, too! (Seriously - going through the thesaurus looking for every possible way to say "fantastic", "marvellous", "beautiful", "perfect"... It takes forever.)

Actually, the story was originally going to be called Her Magnificent Scrumptiousness, but I decided that would sound like the story was about Glory, not Jinx - and in the end, Glory appeared in, what, a total of four lines?

My favourite bit to write was definitely his attempts to stop Glory brain-sucking the pizza delivery guys. (After all, if there's only one place in town that can get you Super Supreme With Extra Cream And Soy Sauce, you don't want them to run out of employees.)

That's interesting to hear. All that hard work definitely paid off!

He's one resourceful little guy when he's properly motivated! ;)
