Writer's meme!
16 years ago
haplessdrifter posted this *nods* I stole it.~How often do you get writer’s block?
Not often, but when it hits, it hits hard.
~How do you fix it?
The best way I've found is through my tarot cards... I ask them how my characters are doing... Sometimes they tell me a story.
~Do you type or write by hand?
I type exclusively... I'm too prone to scrapping things otherwise.
~Do you save everything you write?
Yes, but I often delete stuff that I don't like.
~Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Many many times :)
~Do you have a constructive critic?
Not yet :) but I don't mind. I'm very shy about my work.
~Did you ever write a novel?
Define novel... But no, a novel requires a longer plot plan than I usually have.
~What genre would you love to write but haven’t?
Umm... is "Good" a genre? ... Modern day dystopian fantasy with mild comedy *nods* :3
~What’s one genre you have never written, and probably never will?
Horror / gore... although I like to challenge myself, so perhaps I will. I wouldn't like it though.
~How many writing projects are you working on right now?
Three which might get finished, several dozen minor ones...
~Do you write for a living? Do you want to?
No, I write because I enjoy telling the stories of the people in my head... Sometimes friends lend me their characters to visit... I love interpreting them too :)
~Have you ever written something for a magazine or newspaper?
Never.
~Have you ever won an award for your writing?
Yes... I had people tell me they laughed at one of my funny stories... That's all the award I need.
Although, actually, I once wrote a story for a fanfic contest... But that was because the person organising it tried hard to get some writers in.. and only had one other submission. I felt bad for the other guy.
~What are your five favorite words?
Defenestrate, Gargantuan (Yay, Elle Driver!) Schlepp, Groovy, Flourish. *nods* ... Okay, so they were all pretty random, but I like 'em.
~Do you ever write based on your dreams?
Yes... Kinda... I don't remember dreams for long... I know I've started writing about them, never really finished.
~Do you favor happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
I'm afraid I favour happy endings... I HATE cliff-hangers... Utterly. I... Well, sad endings, if well written can be wonderfully done, but tend to hit me badly. I don't like 'em as they leave the characters in pain.
~Have you ever written based on an artwork you’ve seen?
All the time... I love to think up the story behind the picture.
Oh, and if you've gotten this far? Go commission a picture from
donryu :3 C'mon! He needs your help!
