Not sure where to start on this, aside from I'm a fan of many things werewolf. The basis of my first novel, Werewolf Tale, grew from that, but also from the fact that I see very few werewolf stories that give context to what qualifies the condition a curse instead of an inconvenience.
Most of my best writing, in my opinion, comes in the form of dialogue. This comes from years of watching films, playing RPGs, both electronic and forum-based, and listening to how people speak in my string of jobs. Setting I use sparsely, unless to establish/hint at something.
