I hope you weren't intimidated by the word series! It's just a little over 10k in length for all the short stories in the series, but boy are they fun to read. What did you think about Myr's scifi psionic storylines? Share your thoughts below! But first, of course, enjoy my interview with him! Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see much point? I make the bed once per week to avoid wear and tear on the sheets. What’s something personal about you people might be surprised to know? I tend to be pretty quiet and laid back most of the time, but when pushed can turn into a raging bull that has been let loose in a china shop. Keeping my center and staying calm has been a lifelong pursuit. What do you like to do when you’re not writing? In those times where I am not working or doing something for the site, I’m most often busy reading. Sometimes it is for pleasure and other times is it is to build or improve my skillset. When completely away from the computer, I also do construction work. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years renovating various things. Building a dedicated office space is on the agenda for this spring, so I can once again separate my work from my entertainment. I am also a gamer almost exclusively focused on single-player experiences. I do not have the time to dedicate to being good enough at any multiplayer game. It is not fun to play the role of cannon fodder to a twelve-year-old who can spend their life mastering the game. What’s your favorite room in your house? Do you plot or write there? My favorite room in the house is the family room, which has 3 sides full of windows. I keep my laptop there and work on things, including world-building. It is charming in the spring and fall when the windows can be open, and fresh air flows through. When you get a story idea, do you use any particular method, app, program, etc… to expand it before you begin writing? Since my stories exist in worlds I create, I have to do a fair bit of world-building. This requires me to keep track of a lot of metadata so that I keep the world consistent. I use World Anvil to create and track my World information. I use DungeonFog to make maps. I use Hero Forge to create character portraits (mostly as inspiration). I tend to visualize characters, plots, and scenes in my head as I fall asleep and run different versions until something clicks for me, and then I write that down. What is your favorite story that you’ve written, and why? I don’t have a favorite story per se. This series, and WET, in particular, is probably my favorite. What character trait do you think best describes Bill from All WET? Cheeky. How would you handle having psionic powers? I’d probably jump in a spaceship and fly away from the rest of humanity as fast as the ship could go. What is your favorite line or scene from the All WET series? I think my favorite scene is the opening of A Bad Way to Wake up WET Part 1. In the various writing books, they tell you to start your scene in the middle of the action and I tend to go hyperbolic at times. This part of the story starts off with a bit of a bang and I had fun with it. Can you share future plans for All WET stories with readers? I am currently working on the plot and world building to turn All WET into a full-length novel. It is currently titled “Burn the Sky”. I’m not sure if it will stay that way, but that’s what it is for now. I have no time estimates for when this will be done. I’m horrible at those and life tends to throw surprises.
