How many stories do I have in progress at one time? I think the most was two. I tend to like finishing what I start before moving on to the next, otherwise I feel very scattered and lose motivation.

At this stage I've only ever tackled short stories. I've quite enjoyed the slightly longer short stories though. The feeling of satisfaction when they are finished is quite a high. When I finished "The Awakening", I felt stoned. Awesome experience.

If I think a story is good enough for an assignment I will use it as the assignment. Seperate assignments that have a specific theme or task are usually very challenging and force me to write outside my comfort zone. I'm trying to get my head around writing the next one from the photo in the first person. Very uncomfortable prospect that. (So thanks Ruby. Not.)

My prefered genre is anything that interests me at the time. I put together a newsletter for my Long board club and it is obviously surfing related. I love writing about it and the characters we have in the club. BDSM is a passion so I find it very easy to write about.
