My website header is actually based on the image I'll be using when I redo the covers of my old freebie serial Children of the Apocalypse--I saw the girl as being Genevieve and it'll be the new first book cover. When I actually have time to sit and redo them, that is. Thanks!

I drug the bitch with megalomania.
Okay, really, I have a STRONG perfectionist side (hello Virgo influence) so I'm a good critical thinker. For me, the key isn't to shut up the internal editor--it's to give her something to do and let her help in a way that doesn't impede the muse. I let her do the overthinking, the planning--let her knock holes in the plot until it makes sense. I even let her leave notes on the MS (such as "make this suck less later"). And I make sure she knows she can go wild AFTER me and the muse are done doing our thing with the first draft. This, along with my pathological obsession with seeing the book through to the end despite flaws, keeps my internal editor under wraps.
Like everything else, it takes a lot of practice.

I'm actually answering this rather than deleting because I think spammers need a lesson: for the love of all that is good and holy, at least get the first name of the person you're spamming right. JEEZ. Some effort would be nice, kids.

A bazillion. For realsies.

This is difficult because I've had allergies all my life and constantly have a plugged nose. The first one that pops to mind is I opened the package with a new shower curtain last year, and the smell made me think of being in Florida when I was six. I'm still not entirely certain why my brain makes that association...

One? ONE? I'm going to pretend I'm a grownup and not pick an ex...
I would eradicate pirates for J.A. Saare. :-D (And she's not paying me in books to say this, I swear.)
Or, y'know, misogyny.
(Yeah, I'm too much of a bitch to just say one thing--I have lots of things I'd like to eradicate.)
