15, 28, 30. And have a wonderful 2017!

15 - hardest verse to write

I would have to say my Vampire World, since it's been stuck at 14 chapters for the last six years.

28 - worst review you ever got

It wasn't so much a review but a comment someone made in another story about the Vampire World serial I was writing (see above), trashing the story that they had clearly never read.

30 - hardest part of writing

Exposition. I hate laying out a scene without any dialogue. To me, it's like trying to slog through wet sand in a fierce headwind. NOT FUN AT ALL.
