#WritersCoffeeClub day 9: Do you prefer to write complex, intricate plots, or more straightforward ones?
Definitely going with a complicated one this time around. And seeing how it's my first and therefore only time around (so far), I guess that qualifies as a tendency?
I may try to simplify the plotting on my next project, or I might just keep it as a standard thing.

#WritersCoffeeClub day 10: How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality? I try to keep it at a medium level; I want my narration to be unobtrusive. That's distinct from my characters' internal thoughts; I'm doing close 3rd specifically so I can move back and forth between narratorial voice and my characters' internal states. Those, of course, are every bit as informal as most people's ongoing thoughts are. Yes, up to and definitely including swear words.
