Reddit mentions of Grim Inception (A Grim Trilogy 0.5): A Grim Short Story

AHHH these are AMAZING questions! I love them! Don't stop if you have more, seriously, I love answering these kinds!

1. I do not. I know many authors set a word count goal daily or weekly, but I have found I do my best work when I am "in the zone" and really focused on what I'm writing. However, that might be because I'm trying to get this trilogy out this year (all three books). I know in the future, when I'm not swamped with writing Grim, maintaining social media and website presence, trying to write the RPG, planning release parties, going to conventions around the country to sell it, etc, I will end up with more time to sit down and write and do workshops and whatnot. Until then, though, Grim is my life!
   
   
2. So funny you mention Punisher, because he'd be my top choice! Since this is a world full of people who are either criminals or are "heroes" that think killing the criminals they fight is the right answer, Punisher would fit right in! However, it would be really funny to see either Spiderman or Flash show up.
   
   
3. I do love me some Stephen King! Let's see, my favorite has got to be Desperation, followed closely by It and Carrie.
   
   
4. YES A MILLION TIMES YES. hahaha. I would only require that I still have some creative control and can have say in changes in the script/casting. Or at least get to be there for it all and give my input. But so much yes to this!
   
   
5. Actually, I am doing that! I have Grim Inception out, which is the short story prequel to the first book in the trilogy, and just released Grim Misfortune which is in between books 1 and 2. However, both are able to be read as a stand alone; you don't even have to have read any of the Grim series before to understand and enjoy them! I will be releasing a third .5 to the series in a little while, and on top of that all, I'm working on a Grim Origin series, which are shorter books than the ones in the trilogies but longer than the shorts, and they focus on the origin of those with powers (origin being mostly when they either realize their power or begin to use it for good or bad). Whew!
   
   
6. I am! And I LOVE Telltale! I played all the way through the first Walking Dead and LOVED it so much. Cried like a baby more than once. Then I played through their Game of Thrones one and enjoyed it thoroughly. My favorite one of theirs, however, is The Wolf Among Us. I couldn't get enough of that world, and now that I finished it, I am actually trying to get a couple of people together to all play through it again. I really hope they make a second one with Bigby and the Fables! And it would be so, so amazing if they could make the Grim game! I'd be so happy!
   
   
7. Luminescence ... Love how it sounds!
   
   
8. There are a TON. First off, we have the abusive relationship Emma is in during Grim Ambition. There will be another later on in the series between two others. I was in a very damaging one before, and knew that I wanted to include my emotions and frustrations I felt during and after it in my work. It was amazing therapy, I'll tell you what! I also pour other emotions into my novels: my goofy side, my sense of humor, my anger, my romantic side, my fears...all of these make appearances in different characters, albeit subtlety. I've been told because of this, readers can feel the emotion that I put in as they go along, which in turn attaches them to the characters even more! Another thing is: is it better to kill the criminal or turn them over to the law and risk them getting away? The judgment is heavy in these books, and many people are at fault for the consequences throughout the series. Taking credit for your mistakes and trying to right them is important to me, but so is forgiveness.
   
   If you have more, feel free to ask away! I may be busy, but I always, always make time for stuff like this! And if you do end up reading any of the books, one of my favorite things is when readers chat with me about them and how they felt reading them! :D
