“I'm fond of my werecats, if only because I have four real-world feline...” — Cynthia Leitich Smith Quote

I'm fond of my werecats, if only because I have four real-world felines staring at me as I type.

In terms of graphic versus prose, I could probably do a lecture on that topic. But what stood out most was the difference in pacing the language and resulting scenes. One illustration can do so much for the reader.

I've always been fond of Tim Drake/Robin. I suppose it's the YA writer in me. I enjoy the intensity of young, smart heroes. I'd love to write him in either graphic or prose form.

My stories include realistic fiction and fantasy.

To this day, I have the most fond memories of some of my old toys.

I have never used makeup in my life. I'm not fond of it at all. I love myself the way I am, and I try my best not to use it - the only things I use are sun screen and eyeliner.

Even in the big movies, if the scenes are very big, I'm not fond of them as much as I'm fond of small actor scenes.

Everyone always tells you about how amazing recording their first album was and how they'll always look back on the 'process' with fond memories. I will look back on it as an extremely stressful time that somehow also managed to be extremely boring.

I'm very fond of Tennessee Williams' plays, and when my husband and I went to New Orleans in the late 1970s, we saw 'A Street Car Named Desire.'
