#WritersCoffeeClub day 18: Are you comfortable making a reader uncomfortable? How far will you go? I love the general idea of making readers uncomfortable; I think that can be a spur to reflection, and then maybe to change. But in actuality, I think it needs to be applied very sparingly. Especially in genres like mine (urban fantasy), where people aren't really signing up for discomfort, it can be a bit much to take. I won't get anywhere if I make readers so uncomfortable they DNF the book.

    #WritersCoffeeClub day 19: Talk about something (even if very small!) from your own life which made it onto the page. Practically every restaurant, bar, or club that my characters visit is someplace I've known from my own life.
