1 .pen and paper, and sometimes on scraps of it @ work.
2. I try but sometimes let my characters bump around in my brain awhile before letting them out.
3. not as much as I'd like. grrr.
4.start with an idea. 90 percent of the time I hear character conversations in my head and then roll with it. or maybe thats schizophrenia. sigh.
5.YES!! i have a vampire/cabaret lair in my basement and it's all MINE!!
6.music=life, for me and my characters. eclectic though, not a set soundtrack.
7.edit and rewrite all the time. in fact I am spending more time on my "finished" first then my unfinished second.
8. show some people. turned half of it in for a final project in college then started to "tweak" it again based on how characters developed in book two. and now im stuck.
9.not enough filler it seems to me sometimes. if that even makes sense to anyone else.
10. i live in writer solitude. i wish i had others to talk to...thats why i found you!!!!!
