She sipped and nibbled and scanned the questions from her readers. Smiling, she answered a few of the easy ones. What do you wear while you’re writing? It depends on what I’m writing. If I’m outlining or editing, I usually choose something old and comfortable, because that’s tough work! But if Jae is going out and there’s the possibility she’ll have an exciting encounter, I might dress up in something slinky. Why can’t you write faster? Then I wouldn’t have time to talk to you, and I’d miss all this fun! Bren enjoyed chatting with her readers online. While the interactions struck her as personal, sometimes almost intimate, she was comfortably shielded by the anonymity not only of her pseudonym, but by the boundaries of virtual reality. When she was writing, when she was chatting with readers about her characters or plots or future plans, she was completely Melanie Richards. She loved being able to release that other part of herself—the bold, daring, sexually adventurous part.
