Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don't work on me and I tune them out. It's better to just be honest.

Dialogue saves me. I love writing the conversations between my paper people. For some reason, that is the easiest thing for me. It's like I am a transcriptionist for the voices in my head. I can hear them talking (mentally) and have a gift for getting it on the page.

I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.

Everyone on my team is different in terms of how long before a workout they prefer to eat. I like to eat my big meal 4.5-5 hours before I play. I usually eat a carb either rice or pasta with tofu or chicken. Around 2 hours before I play to like to eat greek yogurt with a banana.

Setting can be something that is a major player in a scene, something that makes the mood leap from the page. But if an author doesn't handle it right, it falls flat or seems overdone. It is a challenge getting it "just right".

For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.

I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.
