I saw a meme on  omegawolfj's page and flew away with it! :)


~How often do you get writer’s block?
Rarely on short stories. However, for my larger works, it can happen! Mostly if I let differing potential outcomes outweigh my driving need to progress the story.

~How do you fix it?
Usually through music and study of related materials. The combination of renewed knowledge and emotional stimulus often gives me a rush of inspiration.

~Do you type or write by hand?
I am a typist.

~Do you save everything you write?
Yes, though most of the works I created in my younger life were lost in a fire. :(

~Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Yes, and I've rewritten a few older works because of this.

~Do you have a constructive critic?
Sadly, I am not blessed with someone who would be a dedicated constructive critic to my work.

~Did you ever write a novel?
Write, no. I do have three I'm 'writing' if that's a legitimate statement for this answer, but only two have serious headway. The depth of commitment is one thing, but it's made all the worse with my constant desire to go back and change the plot because I've decided that what I've written is awful.

Though, to be fair, what I've written might BE awful! :)

~What genre would you love to write but haven’t?
Since I have not published the work yet, I can safely say slice of life literature. That, however, is changing as we speak.

~What’s one genre you have never written, and probably never will?
Non-fiction. I may write some at some point, but I can't see it.

~How many writing projects are you working on right now?
Four. A slice of life, a modern day fantasy, a pirate epic, and a children's story told in rhyme.

~Do you write for a living? Do you want to?
Not yet, but it is a life goal.

~Have you ever written something for a magazine or newspaper?
Yes, but not for money! Just a favor for a friend.

~Have you ever won an award for your writing?
Not outside of academia.

~What are your five favorite words?
Passionate, Reckless, Furious, Interminable, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

That big one up there? For those that don't know, it means 'the fear of long words'.

'What phobia do you suffer from?' (Patient runs away screaming)

~Do you ever write based on your dreams?
Yepperoo!

~Do you favor happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
I'm gong to say, historically, happy endings.

~Have you ever written based on an artwork you’ve seen?
Yes indeedy! My first time was only a few weeks ago, here.
