@YoungEntmag Which scene in Stars, Hide Your Fires did you have the hardest time writing and why? And were there any scenes or moments that felt like they just flew out of you, super easily?

@YoungEntmag @JesserBest What is a setting / world that you've yet to write about that you're curious to explore in a future creative project?

@YoungEntmag @JesserBest What were some of the songs you had on repeat while working on Stars, Hide Your Fires? :)

@YoungEntmag @JesserBest Important question: if you had to place the Hogwarts sorting hat upon Cass' head... what would be a likely outcome? :)

[Sunanda Vaidheesh @sunandalightful]

@YoungEntmag @JesserBest I've heard lots of writers discuss their writing "routine" or rituals -- what is your philosophy on writing as a practice? Do you have certain times of day that you stick to? Do you throw it all out the window and write when you're able to find time? :)

The most effective presentation skill is backchanneling, which is where you shop your idea to each stakeholder well ahead of time and get verbal buy-in.

Presenting then becomes a cake walk because it'll essentially be a formality.

@JesserBest I always recommend Jane the Virgin -- it's a lovely intergenerational story about family (...with some love, murder, and comedy thrown in). :)

The President has not been silenced. He has a press room right in his house. He’s more than welcome to step up to the podium, speak and even take some questions.
