TQ: Describe Dreadnought in 140 characters or less.Īpril: Trans girl superhero gets cool clothes and then beats up robots to save the world. I don’t sit down to write with an influence in mind, I just write how it makes sense for the story to work. It bubbles away for months or years, and then when I sit down to write, it comes out in the writing. TQ: What has influenced / influences your writing?Īpril: I have always had a very hard time answering these sort of questions because everything I read and see goes into the stew. I’ve been blocked for more than a year and I can’t wait for Dreadnought to get published so I can move past this. It’s very common for an author to get seriously blocked after signing her first contract, and that has happened to me. TQ: What is the most challenging thing for you about writing?Īpril: Right now? Just getting the damn words down. When I plot ahead of time, my writing is more propulsive and tighter, but when I pants I think I end up with some more creative decisions than I would make otherwise. I’ve done both, but I’m not sure I’d say I’m a hybrid. TQ: Are you a plotter, a pantser or a hybrid?Īpril: Oh Goddess, this is a tricky one. I started writing fanfic in high school and it sort of blossomed from there. When and why did you start writing?Īpril: Hi! Happy to be here.
