What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?
For me it would have to be characters. If I really enjoy the characters, they could be chasing pink bunny rabbits through space for all I care. As long as I can identify with, or am at least entertained by the characters that is all that matters. Having a good plot does help though.
What did you study in college, or are currently studying, and did it lead to your current 9-5, or are you doing something completely different?
In college I studied Psychology and got my degree. It did lead to my current job working in a treatment center with dual focus of chemical dependency and mental health. I love characters in books that are slightly neurotic and a little crazy!
Have a good weekend!

Awesome that you're able to work in the field you majored in :)
I agree with your answer - a good character can make me trudge through a bad plot although both are preferable of course.
Have a great weekend!

Hi New Follower. I love Pat's Mercedes Thompson series. Haven't read this other one. Can't wait for Rivermarked.Your work sounds interesting. I am plot driven but I like the characters to be unique, not cookie cutter. See more of my answers at Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust
