DoriLentrich The new season looks promising, especially with the new character. Though, I fear, she may be too much a Dr. Reid character. However, the tension of her having been disgraced before and looking for redemption should make for some interesting twists and turns....

DoriLentrich I hope it went well for you. The pressure is on when you're on the stand and it's increased when you're there for the benefit of someone else. Still, at the end of the day, it's about you and your testimony. Everything else fades away. I really hope your...

I used to knit all of the time - an every spare minute sort of thing because I like to keep my hands busy. Unfortunately, this resulted in carpal tunnel, so now I am being more careful because I don't want to have to have surgery....

DoriLentrich Keeping your hands moving is a wonderful thing. Knitting and crochet are a bit of a double edged sword on that issue though. So much of the work is detail, that your hands seize up, but if you don't keep the joints moving, they do the same thing. Have you...

I was someone who let the first draft take me where it would. But, now I'm beginning to wonder if plotting might not be the way to go. Everyone's process is different, but I'm finding myself getting a little frustrated with...

DoriLentrich That's a really good system. It keeps you on track without binding you too much. I find that even if I don't write things down, I'm keeping certain turning points in mind, but writing things down is imperative. I've lost so many brilliant (at least I think...

DoriLentrich It can get boring when you outline. You get all excited about the idea and then you realize you're done with it before you've put a word on paper. The actual writing is great motivation to keep going. However, I find outlining can sometimes prevent the dreaded...

DoriLentrich Wow. With mystery stories I'd think plotting ahead of time would be necessary, but I can see how letting the story grow organically would work. For me, I find when I write that way, things appear that I hadn't thought of (themes) and weave into the story in...

My husband would be dead a year on August 20th. I have always had problems with my fingers swelling so am used to take my ring off at night. And lately I have not worn it all the time in the daytime, depending on whether my...

DoriLentrich Definitely. Go and live your life. Your husband loved you, the living you, the excited you. Go be that person. You will do more honor to his memory that way then worrying about a wedding ring. :) I wish you the best in all things and hope that your life...

DoriLentrich You're husband wouldn't want you to suffer for any reason. Wear the ring if you want to. As I said, he's in your heart and that's the only place it matters. Too often we get caught up in all the symbols that we forget the meaning. Your love for your husband...

It's the unofficial start of summer in the U.S. and I was wondering, do people find it more or less difficult to write in the summer months? I personally find it easier to get thoughts to flow, but harder to commit to the action...

DoriLentrich You must live somewhere where winter isn't harsh. Where I live, we get snow in the winter and being outside writing would probably involve losing a few fingers. So, when summer comes and I can be outside, I want to be. However, if it gets too hot, I'd probably...

DoriLentrich Mother Nature is great inspiration and she is in fine form in the summer. I love the way the sunlight and the sky changes in summer. In winter you really only get a couple of different skies, but in the summer, the sky goes through all sorts of changes.

DoriLentrich There is that part of it. When the days are long and the weather good, the ideas come to you much more easily, I find. And if you're in a position where summer is your vacation time, you have a lot more time to do writing. However, if you're in a position...

DoriLentrich I'm glad you enjoy the show. You're right, there are a lot of hints about the characters and what's going on with them, but it's maddening because that's all they are. They haven't really gone into what's going on with the characters. Prentiss was the only one...

DoriLentrich Given what the show is about, the plotline is going to follow the same pattern week after week. They could branch out and do more with terrorism or things like that. Perhaps instead of focusing on the individuals, look more at the group impact. In the...

In your opinion. I know many will say the mothers but I never heard a story like Joanna D'Arc's. She saved France from slavery, with only 20 years she changed the destiny of a country. It is so amazing. She even faced being killed...

DoriLentrich Charity is a wonderful way of helping people in the short-term, but education and opportunity is the only way to truly help people. The old saying that if you give a person a fish, he eats for a day, but if you teach a person how to fish, he eats for a...

DoriLentrich How do you feel about the young FBI agent that joined the team after Prentiss left? I find her a bit pale. She just wanders around not really injecting anything into the dynamic. In one episode, Rossi had to nearly yank her into the fray which I found...

DoriLentrich Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior has been canceled, so you don't have to worry about that one anymore. I'm not really that sad about that. I haven't watched it, but when they did a cross-over episode, I wasn't impressed. JJ may be coming back if the hints...
