Questions to ponder part 11
mare:
New questions for you!
If you could only pick one story to represent the writer you have become what would you choose and why?
As a reader, do you agree with the picks your favorite authors chose? Or would you pick something different by them?
On the opposite side of this - what is one the one story in your catalog that you feel is least like the writer you are today?

Good questions!
I would pick Curtain Call because I think it best represents me as a writer currently. It fits my niche of medical drama with a hint of romance, it has strong characters, and I think it's one of my best-written stories up to this point.
The story in my catalog that is least like the writer I am today is an old one called "The Other Child." It's not posted on AC, but it's on my archive site. I wrote it in 2001, and it was my first AU. It was a twist on one of those "long lost sibling" stories (which I hate, btw) about Brian having a sister, only he was the long lost one, having been abducted as a child so he never became a Backstreet Boy. The idea was not mine; it was given to me by a reader, and so it never totally felt like my story. I got bored writing it and threw an ending on it just so I could be done, and you can tell. It's not very well-written and doesn't reflect me as a writer at all.

I guess I would say Finding Carter for myself because that story I did a lot of research and it was one of my best stories. I took a lot of time developing the characters. Plus it is AU which is my strength.
As for least....i would say When I Grow Up because it was a side project. Something i just threw together for fun and it wasnt very well written like my other work.
Rose:
I have a hard time narrowing it down to one. I almost want to name two. But if I'm sticking to one is say Remember Me This Way shows where I am currently. It's a bromance, I torture the hell out of Nick, and the emotional aspect is very strong in that one. Runner up is Undead due to the gore, the horror, and characterizati on.
Least representative is by far this half finished romance called Rehab. It's a mess and honestly I don't know what I was thinking beyond the fact Just Another Day had gone well so I thought I could pull off romance twice? Definitely not lmao. Bad idea, bad writing, and you can tell I got to a point where I was just over it.

You know, I come up with these questions and then I have the hardest time answering them. LOL
I honestly am not sure if there's one novel I have written that represents me completely. I think if I combined two of them they would but that would also be cheating. Writing wise, I would probably go with Hope Is the Last Thing Ever Lost. I believe my writing was at it's best for that story and pretty much captures what I'm all about. Telling the story from all five points of view. Putting a lot of twists, turns, action and suspense in there. Having a good, old fashioned psychopath that hopefully people were sympathetic with and of course tons of mean cliffhangers along the way. The only thing missing from this one that I feel also is a very big part of me is humor. Not too many haha moments in this one, but I'm choosing it anyway!
As far as the one least like me, I'd probably have to go with Comedy of Errors. I would hate to have someone read that ridiculous hot mess and think it was all I'm capable of. LOL
