4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

One that makes little to no noise on most terrain, then a bunch of throwaways to traverse blight-infested areas.

21. Rant about something you dislike (don’t worry, we’re not limited on time)

I don’t know, man, I don’t got much to rant about….

…..

Alright, let’s talk about Lourdes. Who’s Lourdes? Umm, only the Devil Herself, thank you very much. And Morlene’s new girlfriend, that’s who. But who is she really? She says she’s a teacher but… I mean, would you believe her? Have you ever seen her at work? I haven’t! Not that I was looking but you know… plus… pLUS!!! She moved out of Morlene’s and back to her parents AND you want me to believe they’re still dating? Sure that sounds like a committed relationship to me. If she can’t even look past the fact that I sometimes stumble through Morlene’s doorstep with my guts in my hands and she has to patch me up together again well I say that proves my point.

AND have you ever seen her and the royal witches in the same room? That’s right, you haven’t. It’s because she’s evil. I’m pretty sure she works for the king and only got close to Morlene to somehow get to me. 

She’s eeeeeviiiiil.

29. What’s your favorite place to be?

Cobaltcast 28
…
Hm? No, that’s not where Morlene lives. Nope. Not at all. Just a random house, shut up.

41. What’s your most treasured possession?

Ummm…. *rummaging through backpack* discombobulators?

52. What does your voice sound like? Do you think it’s pleasant? Do other people?

I don’t talk in my own voice much these days. I bet it sounds sexy though.

64. Drama is going on. Do you grab the popcorn and watch it unfold or just ignore it?

Ignore it. Who cares? Extra ignore it if it has a chance of compromising my current job *glares at Cephas who keeps getting involved with drama*

76. You’re given $1000 and told you have to spend it in an hour or you get to keep nothing. What store do you go to? What do you buy? You are not allowed to use it for online shopping and you are only allowed to go to one store.

KNIVES SHOP

KNIVES

81. For one day you’re in charge of babysitting a younger version of yourself (5 and under). What do you do? You are not allowed to give yourself back.

uh… knives shop? That’s what I did when I was five.

90. You think you might be getting sick. Do you pre-emptively take medicine or wait to be sure?

Ugh, sick or not sick, who cares, if it ain’t blight it don’t matter.

writer ask thing 6, 9, 17, 21, 26, 35, 46, 53, 54 :)) also i love u

OooOOOOooOOOoo guess what I also love you ♥♥

6. Favorite character you’ve written?

I mean, it has to be Howard from Leaper, I just love her so much, she’s so goofy and absent-minded but then you find out her backstory which I never wrote down so you won’t but I know what it is, and she’s just the best.

9. Favorite/least favorite tropes?

My least favourite trope would be love triangles that suck (cause I wrote one that doesn’t suck so suck it) and conflicts born out of miscommunication/lack of communication. It’s the worst and you won’t ever catch me do that. And boy, I have fave tropes for days, enemies to best friends is one of them and also people being separated by something is another one of them, especially if it’s time cause I dig time-related stuff.

17. What things (scenes/topics/character types) are you most comfortable writing?

I’m not comfortable with writing as a whole ;_; Juuust kidding I think I always aim to write about people working together or people supporting each other in one way or another at least lately. I think the best character/relationship dynamics I write come from scenes where you’d expect someone to not believe someone else or reject the other but instead says “okay I’ll help you” or “okay I believe you”, if that makes sense.

21. What aspect of your writing are you most proud of?

Uuuuuuh none aspect. Okay no uh I think when choosing an ending for my stories I usually make the right choice 😀 I can always think of a few dozen ways to end a story but I tend to choose the one that just works the best and is what the story deserves. At least I like to think that.

26. What’s the most research you’ve ever put into a book?

I googled the word “time” for Leaper once. Okay not really, I did a lot of research for The Rains Come cause I needed to know which state has what kind of weather during different parts of the year, and I looked up like, types of trees for July 14th. I don’t like research at all, it confuses me so I just make stuff up on the go and nobody can tell me that’s not how it works cause it doesn’t exist o/ Suspension of disbelief who?

35. Post the last sentence you wrote 

Jesus, okay. Lol would you look at that, it’s the last sentence of Vale.

           “But it’s very much like it.”

Make of it what you will o/

46. Past or present tense?

Past is my go-to tense because I find it comes to me the easiest but I tend to write in present tense when time is somehow involved in the story. Leaper, In Static, and Vale are all in present tense and time is a crucial part of the resolution. But even then I have to fix myself a lot where I slip back into past tense.

53. What is the first line of your WIP?

“Chapter 1″ lol

Ok no, the first line of Vale is “Fun fact: necks are easy to
break.” 

54. Favorite first line/opening you’ve written?

I uh already answered this in an ask I accidentally answered privately and now I’m waiting for them to send it back so I can publish it so you’ll find out then x)
