December 4 question - Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?

Personally, I don't mind a good/great cliffhanger. None of my books end with a cliffhanger per se. In a couple novels I did leave a few unanswered threads, with a premise of another book in the making, though nothing that would drive a reader bonkers over.  LOL.

In my writing process, I tend to end each chapter with a taste of suspense, hoping the reader will continue on to the next chapter.

November 6 question - What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?

To tell the truth, I've put my writing by the wayside for quite a while, due to a number of family issues and a great deal of insecurities. 

My writing is ok, but it doesn't pay the bills. LOL. In fact I spend more $ advertising than making a profit. Needless to say, I sat on my newest manuscript for almost a year and recently sent it off to be professionally edited. In all sincerity, I could've stayed with my publisher. They'd edit, format, and make the cover for me. Instead I chose to eliminate the middleman and self-publish, which means paying out of pocket for these projects. However, I guess I'm a control freak because I like having control over my books. 

As far as sitting down and beginning to write anew, I'm waiting for inspiration to strike. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Only time will tell. 

In the meantime, I'm crocheting scarves for the grandkids. Taking my old dog for daily walks and getting into the season of concocting hearty stews and soups.

October 2 question - Ghost stories fit right in during this month. What's your favorite classic ghostly tale? Tell us about it and why it sends chills up your spine.

I Love this time of year. The changing, colorful leaves, the crisp air, and the crushed apples and fry cakes wafting from our local cider mill. 

I like thrillers, scary movies like The Others with Nicole Kidman or the Insidious franchise movies which is somewhat based on factual events. Movies that make the hair on my arms spike and make me jump in my seat when something jumps out. I can definitely do without tons of bloody, gory scenes. It's a yearly tradition to watch Hocus Pocus.

August 7 question - Do you use AI in your writing and if so how? Do you use it for your posts? Incorporate it into your stories? Use it for research? Audio?

I've never researched nor used AI. The thought of using AI feels like cheating or something. 

On a different note: It's taken a long, long time to reach the end of my WIP. I'm at that point of a love/hate relationship with my characters. LOL. I am in the process of searching for an Editorial Service. (It is a YA/Fantasy.) If anyone has any suggestions please message me or comment below. Thank You.
