I couldn't get myself to focus on something more productive and i needed a distraction at that point.. Still do.. Oh well, i'll find something else to distract my mind in a bit probably.

1. When did you start writing?

I think I actually started in maybe second grade or so, the teacher would say to write something and I’d turn out a little so story like thing. At that point in time I thoroughly hated writing, probably because I had to do it all by hand.

2. First drafts: Handwritten, typed, or some combination?

TYPED! I only write by hand if I totally have to, my handwriting is atrocious. You could have a seizure in the middle of writing and it could easily end up looking better than my handwriting. Writing by hand for anything other than poems usually fries my mind, so I stick to my computer.

3. Do you keep any kind of notebook or writer's journal, and if so, what kinds of things go into it?
I probably should so I can keep track of my thoughts when they do something other than backhand me and run off, though I’d probably end up losing it somewhere.

4. Do you set any quotas for your work (number of words per day, number of hours per day, etc.)? Why or why not?

Nope, mainly because I probably wouldn’t be able to reach it every day and I’d bash my head on something the next morning for not having succeeded in the goal.

5. Are you most comfortable writing short stories, novels, or something else?

I’m generally comfortable writing whatever come into my head and stays long enough that I can get a grip on it. I usually prefer to write stories over poems though, oddly enough my poems seem to be better than my stories at times.

6. What's your favorite kind of story to write?

Not sure that I have a favorite kind of story to write, I just like whatever I can get to stay in my head for more than a few seconds.

7. Talk about a story of yours that was easy to write and one that was difficult to write, and why.

Most of what I write comes easily to me once I get going, though there is one that was difficult for me to write. It wasn’t hard because I couldn’t figure out what to do in it, it was hard because it made me want to hurl… That’s all I’ll say about that here.

8. Which of your characters is closest to your sense of self? In other words, who do you most identify with in your own work to date?

That would have to be Isarain without any doubt, hence why my name on here is that. He’s actually what I see when I look at my inner self, I don’t really connect to my human body that much.,, Aside from the whole living in it thing.

9. What work are you most proud of right now?

The second version of my poem “Who you are”, I actually think I did a good job on it. Usually the point where I think I did a good job is the point where I get other people to say “Wow”.

10. What do you feel your strengths and weaknesses are as a writer?

The weak point that comes to mind right away would have to be that I have a hard time starting usually, it’s hard to get my brain started unless I’m truly inspired. I suppose one of my strengths would be that once I do get myself going I can usually write non stop for long periods of time without fatiguing my mind, and usually it ends up turning out nicly.

11. Name a few writers who have influenced you or your work in some way.

I probably am going to fail spelling these horribly..

Tamora Pierce and Brian Jacques, probably the strongest influences because they were the only names that came to me...

12. Talk about something you've written that you later found embarrassing for some reason.

You know that piece I mentioned making me want to puke? It’d be that one.

13. Talk about the earliest stories you remember writing. What were they about?

I remember a long time ago I wrote something about pink elephants, I don’t remember where on earth that went. The only piece of really old writing I have is my “Nightmare” piece which I actually have up here.

14. If you knew you would be successful, what would you most like to write?

Probably the story that goes with Isarain and his siblings, I really need to get that one written out so I have it somewhere other than my head before my mind decays completely.

15. What inspires you?

This is a fun little question, pretty much anything has a chance of doing that. I’ve had some pretty random stuff inspire me to write something… I got inspired by chocolate covered crickets once, they tasted good actually too… No, I’m not joking about either part of that statement.

16. How many projects do you tend to work on at once?

Enough that my head feels like it’s going to split open from holding all of them at once most of the time.

17. Who reads your work before it's released to the public? Do you have beta readers, a critique group, etc.?

Pretty much anyone that I’m chatting with at a point where I want to have something I’m working on checked to make sure it flows and makes sense.

18. When you're not writing, what do you do for fun?

Chattin’ with folks online, or killing things on a game.

19. Advice to other writers?

Don’t give up. It’s easier to say than it is to do at times, though to succeed it’s something you must remember. If you give up and stop then you will never reach your goal whatever it may be, life generally doesn’t give you thinks on a silver platter. No matter what happens if your goal is to succeed then you have to persevere.

20. What are you currently working on?

I should be working on my “Tragic Awakening” Piece, but I’m doing this right now instead.

21. Share the first three sentences of a work in progress.

“In my entire career as a contract killer I have never bothered to consider the morality of shooting someone, never once stopped to think about the families of the person I was shooting. It’s not in my job description to consider who I might be hurting aside from the target when I pull the trigger, it’s just my job to make sure that person doesn’t get back up.” Despite sitting with a gun pressed between his eyes the black feline spoke calmly to the white wolf who held it, bright yellow eyes locked on the blue eyes of the wolf.
