5. What are your writing project goals?
Current goals are:
* Get The Amulet and the Dragon ready for publication by November 19.
* Scribble down a bunch of scenes for the next book in that series. Maybe a plot will form?

According to the Banach-Tarski editing theorem, the Axiom of Choice means that you can cut enough material from your WIP to make another novel of equal length.

6. Are you self-published or trad-published? How's it going?
I am effectively self-published.
As a means to having my works become real, tangible objects in the Prime Material Plane, this has been a phenomenal experience.
As a path to fame and fortune, I have met with limited results so far.
You, of course, have the power to change that! Just buy some books and let your friends know how great they are.

8. Rough, complete or not at all. How do you plan your writing?
I write scenes on index cards. Then I use a beat sheet to figure out which scenes are which beats. Then I write the scenes.

13. Do you use beta readers? How's it working out?
I have utterly failed to find any beta readers. At this point, the release date is so close that I'd have to ignore them anyway.

14. Many writers own cats. Is pet ownership essential for your writing?
Absolutely! I would not have even had the rights to tell the stories in my books if not for my hobby of shrinking and keeping pet monsters.

15. Should writers be honest about their politics online or keep quiet to avoid controversy?
I don't see why authors specifically should not get to participate in the important debates of their particular time and place.
For myself, since I live in a very different time and place than the vast majority of online people, comments on my local politics would be meaningless to my followers.

16. How do you feel about flashbacks? Do you use them?
Flashbacks are great! I've used them when I need to describe a scene from more than one POV.

21. How do you write an internal monologue and/or telepathy in your work?
So, I have done both of these. Typically, I write it like dialog, but without the quotation marks, and 'she thought' instead of 'she said.'
Occasionally I put the quotation marks in when it seems too confusing without them.
I'll let others judge how effective this is.
