20 Questions with Densie Webb
Last year, I featured author Densie Webb in the author spotlight and named her women’s fiction novel When Robins Appear in my Six Books to Add to Your Shopping Cart Black Friday list. With her novel newly released on audio and another one on the way, I asked Densie to come back for a round of 20 questions.
1. Plotter or pantser? Pantser all the way. I’ve tried outlining, index cards etc, but my brain just doesn’t work that way. I will create bullet points about ½ way through a manuscript.
2. Coffee or tea? Coffee, coffee, coffee
3. Cake or pie? Cake (including cheesecake, of course)
4. Plot or character? Plot. Give me a good plot twist any day
5. HEA or not? Not. My stories tend to have bittersweet endings. I prefer my heart to be broken in the end. Or at least bruised.
6. eBook or paperback? I’m a fairly recent eBook convert, but I still enjoy the feel of a real book in my hand.
7. Word or Scrivener? Word. The learning curve for Scrivener was a bit much.
8. Early bird or night owl? Early bird.
9. Writing or reading? I enjoy reading more than writing, but I do like having written.
10. Sweet or savory? Savory, but a combo is the best.
11. Bookshelf – alphabetical or by color? Neither. Fiction vs nonfiction.
12. Favorite book? The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
13. Favorite movie? Not an answerable question. Maybe most watched movie? Could be When Harry Met Sally or Jaws. Another strange movie obsession of mine—Jumper.
14. Favorite season? Summer. I prefer the heat over the cold, even though I lived in NYC for 13 years.
15. Favorite place to write? Coffee shops while listening to music on Spotify.
16. Favorite color? Black
17. Up next on your TBR? Small Pleasures by Claire Chambers
18. Best book you read in 2021? Again, an unanswerable question, but one I enjoyed a lot was The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
19. Book you could reread a million times? Also my favorite book—The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
20. Last book that made your cry? My own. I cried when I wrote it and I still can’t get to the end without tearing up.
