yhlee, a meme that looks like fun to me:
Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted [note: "posted" seems to be geared towards fanficcers, so let's go with "submitted to magazines"], the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
***Please do not use any titles you do not want me to seriously run with. I don't guarantee I will seriously run with anything. But this sort of thing sometimes makes my brain go and go.

difficult: There is a style difference in writing thriller rather than SF, and that was very hard for me. Part of it is punching up the descriptions--thriller readers seem to want much more visual prose. Also I'm used to the science and the scientists being the main thing, not a sideline to the FBI, and for all I watch crime shows, it didn't feel natural, and I'm not sure I could do it again.

Thank you.
