What're you most looking forward to next year? It can be spiritual / religious, or magical, or just completely mundane!

Every time I have looked at this ask, it has been a different time of day, and my answer will have changed accordingly! Let's see... since it looks like I'm going to stick around and make it everyone else's problem, what kind of problems do I want to get into?

LASAGNA! Garfield had it right, a good lasagna is a reason to keep going. Not the modern thick slabs of barely cooked pasta with meat flavored "sauce" and whipped cellulose cheese substitute. I want something that Baba made after sending us kids to all the grocery stores for just the right collection of cheeses. I want a lasagna slice so dense with animal proteins, a deep-dish pizza is going to spill itself in the oven in jealousy. I want a lasagna that requires a steak-knife to cut, none of this "press firmly with a spatula" bullshit. I need my ribs spackled!

Finishing Book Two. Really. Seriously. It's time to let the guilt of falling down go away and get back up and get back in it. When I look back and see what had happened that year, that so many people at work saw that I was spiraling in a bad way but chose to get popcorn, or worse, do nothing, so that when I crashed and openly broke down it was to no one's surprise... when I look back and see what I fucking lived through... Fuck it. Melissa's story is not going to get told unless I tell it. Even though I don't expect anyone to read it. I've noticed that stories set during the height of the pandemic are vigorously avoided. And I get that. A lot of people don't want to be reminded of what happened. But some of us don't have the luxury of forgetfulness and if finishing Book Two (and eventually, the planned series) is what helps me heal, well, it's cheaper than anything the medical system can offer me.

Change of Address. Last year, I had the opportunity to purchase a house. Between credit score and income, it looked like I was going to be able to do the thing after all. I had the help of some competent agents that were frank about what I could afford and what kind of neighborhoods that looked like around here. I almost jumped for it at the time, but did not. Staying put was the right thing to do after all that happened, but I haven't forgotten the opportunity is still there. I just want a better launch pad to go from. (Besides, if all works out, I might even get to host a dinner.)

Connecting with others. Because of what had happened to me at the local Well-known Pagan Occult Shop (they don't like being called pagan because SEO) a literal decade ago, I had given up on any local meet-ups, seminars, or even just safe places to hang out. I was well played and was being set up to be the Bad Person™ when I walked away and I knew that any attempt to tell the truth would just result in me being targeted harder for retaliation either by the asshole that took advantage of me or the people who thought he walked on water such that he was incapable of being a sexual predator. Just when I thought I could start again in other areas, the pandemic showed up, and in the midst of that, a Big Name Occultist revealed what all the outsiders knew about his leanings and getting away from all that left me stained and crushed because I thought I had learned my lesson from the first grifter, but apparently not. But. I survived that, just like I survived everything else, and learning how to make friends is going to be harder than learning how to live, but I'll give it a try.

MOAR BITCHING! I have become competent enough in Spanish that I can speak it at work and hold my own to the point where some of the native Spanish speakers look at me funny when they realize that I'm conversing with them because it's fluid enough for them to forget that it's not my first language. It feels like I've hit a critical milestone in that my lessons now are about the more obscure words, phrases, and topics to round things out. I'm not going to throttle down on the Spanish, but it's time for me to begin on a few other languages that I've always wanted to learn but my childhood teachers said I was too stupid to pick up. Spite is an incredible motivator. My goal is to be able to bitch out a cunt in at least three different languages in the same breath and still be parsable to any eavesdropping native speaker.

u should tell me moar abt ur judgment boy ocs.

RITE. NYAW!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ok!!!!!!! :D So!!! (sorry for taking so long, was very busy ; -;) The JBs are all in individual groups: Candy like, Ink infested and any other ones! (plus the based off of the normal ones) Well Confetti is my first and very much a faulty bean, he is one the candy side, he cannot perform Judgements despite his training before being trapped in a dark room to rot in due to Blackened(?) Gold (his name is still kind of wip). Then you have Monochrome! He's a heavily infected ink Judgement Boy who has strong murderous intentions, it's mostly just sacrificing though! He's in the infected section of the factory because of how..insane they tend to be and have mostly intents of murdering others. (Monochrome likes popcorn a lot :3) Mint! Mint is smoll and a help on getting parts to their places, like the storage and stuff which he tends to lose his own parts as he has to go into dangerous areas to do his job. He mostly prefers to have his freetime to relax though Vinu...Vinu.. He is a prototype, a prototype meaning to create but he also tends to destroy for the means of entertainment, he is normally in his own room. You can hear screeching from down the hallway sometimes, he also likes taking naps Vince..He was once human, living in a poor home before driven mad and somehow waking up to strange dark factory, where he met Blackened Gold face to face, he soon became Blackened Gold's second hand, mostly hides in his room anyways though due to..reasonings. He kind of regrets his choices, realizing it was leaving someone important to him alone

Blackened Gold...He's the boss who runs everything, he's very strict on how he runs things, not really much is known around the Factory besides he means business, he's always watching and..he lives in the shadows of the factory I think that's all? I have Monochrome's Ref! Let me get it... There it is! I'm gonna update it soon though and do the others ^^ But he was the second one to exist in my existence of making them!!

Tiiiiimmmmeeee For Popcorn!

Fandumb infighting already??? Bring it!

No, dude.....she was an asshole, but so are you. And, again, just don’t watch. Also, really, “it hurts”? This is fucking pathetic....

Oh sweet jeebus, dudes, again, NONE of this is new.....time to put a fork in it....

And accept, you’re fans of a temper tantruming dick

No, PP is being an ASSHOLE here. However, the “hurt” part? Y’all do need to chill.....but, again, nothing new. Including PP as an asshole.

And Sill enters. TBF, Silly FuckLili, NOBODY knows moar about “being an asshole”, than yourself....oh....and your kween, OFC....

Ummm.....again, stop watching....

And you’re ALL assholes. Including your kween. Feel better?

Dude, that’s what Silly’s been doing for years....I can’t believe some of you finally legit are seeing it.

Actually, PP’s made it clear she hates working on the show. I don’t think PP knows what “fun” is, honestly....And she DGAF.....certainly not about ANY of you....and, again, not the first time she’s expressed a lack of appreciation for the show....just as y’all keep insisting she’s too good for it. Are you now admitting this is true, she should be appreciative of her fans and her paycheck?

Again, you aren’t even wrong (albeit really dramatic), but this is NOT new behavior on her part.....

A) Silly’s almost as good at being dismissive, etc as her kween

B) Ummm.....Silly??? We all know you typed this with one hand and while you’re also homophobic/dude or it doesn’t count for her, you’re also desperate to lick her clit...

Ummm.....that isn’t “getting defensive”, dullard? And she isn’t “defending her work”, she’s, yet again, being an asshole and telling her fans to get fucked.

Tho I do agree, peeps should just not fucking watch

bjd - related rant

so, here’s a little rant. And gossiping behind people’s back, yass :)

So, I just went out for a photo shoot with my beloved Supia Rosy. I figured I like her so much, I need a twin. Ok, want not need... Anyway. I’d love a twin. Maybe it’s just a phase. I don’t know...

Anyway, I searched through the MP and at the moment there are not just one but two Rosies out there. How awesome. So, I PM-ed one woman who even comes from the same country (yay for lower shipping cost). Her Supia’s been on the MP for the last 6 months. That tells you something. I mean, everyone once in their bjd career owns a Rosy. So, it should be easy to sell one. Also, she’s a girl, so girl dolls generally sell awesome. Also, she’s in Europe, so she sells twice as fast. But... if you’re selling yellowed, *permanently* stained piece of junk *without* CoA or box at a price... lemmie see... right now Supia’s offering a sale and you can get a *brand new* Rosy at $452,70. So, this person basically overcharges for something which we normally term as ‘fixer upper’. Cool...

And yeah, it has a faceup by an overpriced (in relation to the originality.. I mean, this faceup is cute, technically cool but it’s *basic-as-freak*) by a Polish artist who ‘but doesn’t paint recasts’. Cool... I’m a revolving door, so say it to all the non-Poles who’ll buy it off me within next couple years because that’s how I roll doll. Also, God forbid something happens to the faceup and I either once again pay over 100 bucks to a person whom I associate with the Polish forum which I detest heartily in order to repair the basic faceup or what... oh yeah, or: have the doll devoid of its value. Wow, thanks.

So anyway, I won’t keep it a secret - I got my baby with her CoA & box for less thatn 400 bucks. From Europe, where they’re also charging for the duty fee. I got some lovely extras and I am forever thankful for having this doll. She also had a lovely faceup by an even-more-expensive artist. The eyebrows are a little too high for my taste, but otherwise it’s cute. And if I ever decide to have it repainted it looses no value. Also, it’s not a yellowed & stained junk from the times when Cerberus Project was in vogue. cool

I PMed that seller asking if the above reasons (the condition, the sellable market value, the brand new pricing, the lack of CoA) are somewhat persuasive but no.. “She may just as well keep the doll’. B****h! You damn well can!

So, then I went to see what’s up with the other Supia currently out there too. She’s priced at the symbolic 599... wow clever. Hmm.. she has the company faceup, I guess she has the CoA too so... not the best, but not the worst. *only* 100 bucks more than the regular shop price and only 200 bucks more than what I paid for mine. Ok, lets say this poor owner had to breathe their lungs out to pay the fee and the shipping... 599 after minor negotiations wouldn’t sound too bad.

Turns out (I did a bit of research on the blog) this doll is at least 10 years old and (when having asked about it) I learnt that it has neither the company box NOR the CoA. Oh, supposed I wanted to wipe out this (even more) basicTM faceup... this doll loses half of the value with the flip of.. a cotton bud lol. But hey... the owner told me that ‘she always gettin her dolls outta respectable doll forums and DoA’. Oh good... like DoA has no history of ever banning owners who’d scam people and sell to them recasts... loool.

So yeah, right now I am waiting for a Rosy. A decent (don’t mind junk like the aforementioned, half of my dolls are junk but I was getting them at half their damn prices, duh!) one with her documents (what’s so freaing hard about keeping a darn piece of paper with your darn doll?! wtf?) at a price which is not plain freakin ridiculous. Like, what is so hard about pricing your junk doll without a CoA at the price of a recast? Quick ebay search tells me from 220-300... Another quick search on the DoA Archive tells me it’s been done! So yeah, I am *not* insane. I’m not stingy (I don’t even need a layaway). I’m just not giving in to two scalpers.

I just don’t get it how people who’re selling junk/old dolls without their CoAs and stuff are charging even MORE than the company?! WTF??? Not even the same, but MOAR, can you hear me?

And yeah, I am angry and frustrated and you can eat your popcorn to my rage. I know I will get another Supia and wait a couple more months before I go directly to the artist’s website (she offers these discounts every couple months). The money is no issue. The quality and the dumb attitude of these lazy scamming b****s who’d rather overprice dolls to get a few more bucks than go and get a damn job like all the rest of us, normal people... is what drives me insane.

Well, just two more individuals in my small ‘ignored member’ section <3

Moar Three Sentence Ficathon.

any fandom/characters, "I can't fight this feeling anymore"

"Shut up, Steve!"

Several couch pillows hit him in the face.

"I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I STARTED FIGHTING FOOOOOOR --"

"Someone change the radio station," Max begged as several of the boys piled onto Steve, who was now laughing so hard he could barely make it to the next lines, bellowed at the top of his lungs.

"IT'S TIME TO BRING THIS SHIP INTO THE SHORE--"

"Someone do something," Max wailed.

"I can't change the station, it keeps changing back," Lucas complained.

"I like this song," Eleven said simply, from where she was sitting on the opposite couch with her legs tucked up and a large popcorn bowl beside her.

That pretty much did it; there was no way Mike wasn't going along with what Eleven wanted, and by now Dustin was singing along anyway.

You mentioned Jay knew who S.B. was despite S.B. being from another dimension- *pulls out a bag of popcorn* – tell us moar (please)!!! And if you prefer to explain Jay’s backstory first, I’d like to hear it!

Okay so, to explain all of that i first have to explain the religion thing in my ocs universe. Theres 3 gods, Honō, Takai, and Mkhai. Before time was started the three lived in a mostly peaceful world. But wars broke put between Honō and Takai, Mkhai only had watched and tried to stop them. At a loss Mkhai wonders into a forest finding a empty cave, he meets a currently unnamed spirit of some sort, and Mkhai is cursed to know about the future.

He sees visions of my other stories, leading him to make sure things go right by painting the caves walls with prophecies and 'planting' a crystal within the cave.

After time starts Mkhai becomes god of the underworld, basically the devil. On the surface the people follow at least one of the gods.

Mkhai has currently 3 main followers, Jay, Jackson and Vehaemo, which doesnt include the tribe that also followed him.

Jay, Jackson, ans Vehaemo all get to see Mkhai's visions, that's how Jay knew who S.B was.

Ill talk more about those characters backstories later. Vehaemo's story isnt that developed yet though,

Part 1

It almost didn’t seem like the movie was an hour and a half long. Then again, one has to remember that androids are basically immortal and time is a concept to them, at least until their parts breakdown and they wither away from neglect. One minute North was seated besides Josh, staring up at a dark screen and throwing popcorn at Simon and the next minute she was at a fancy restaurant she’d remembered was rated a 4.5/5 stars from yelp reviews. Not bad Hank.

It’s some fancy italian place that she didn’t bother remember the name of, but does remember the rustic vibe it attempted to portray. The walls reminds her of villas in italy, pale sandy-colored bricks covered in faux grape vines and soft yellow lighting. Hank is already waiting inside, looking quite nice in a flower patterned suit. His long hair is even brushed back and a small clip pins the hair nearest his face at the top of his head.

“Wow, you guys all look like movie stars!” he compliments, leaning forward to accept the hug from North. He nods to the rest of Jericho in greeting. “If I had known we were doing Hollywood level I would’ve tried a little harder.”

“I like your flowers.” Simon says charmingly, smiling at the Lieutenant. Connor seems pleased.

“I picked it out myself!”

“We’ll have to work out another color palette for Hank. The flowers are wonderful though.” North chuckles. The group goes around and find their respected spots at the table- Connor on the end sitting across from Hank, with Markus on his right side. Josh sits across Markus, and North is on his left. Simon sits across from her.

They find their voices filling the restaurant as Hank told stories from before the android era. He talked about roombas and how humans younger than him used to personify them. (“A lot of the kids gave them googly eyes.”) Hank himself had a roomba and named it Ankle Biter for its constant bumping into things. Connor didn’t think it was that impressive.

“That’s not a very advanced model if it ran into things instead of vacuum like it was supposed to.” Connor frowned as Hank snapped out of his nostalgia. He threatened to throw a bread stick at him.

“Shut up Connor I loved him.”

North decided to share her experiences at the Eden Club, looking pointedly at Simon and Josh to follow her lead. She talks about how experiences with a few humans only managed to get her on, and how pole dancing was actually fun if one knew how to lure people in. Everyone’s faces turned red/blue, and she had to laugh at Simon’s petrified expression in spite of herself.

But it’s to her own surprise that Connor retaliated with his own stories, claiming he now had an extensive knowledge of pole dancing among other things from all the memories he’d probed during the Eden Club investigation. Hank couldn’t decide if he was to look impressed or weirded out.

“You think you can beat me in a pole dancing competition Connor?” North challenged, smirking at Connor from across the table. “Winner gets to give Markus a lap dance for his birthday. I think he’d enjoy it too.”

“I’m sorry what-” Markus’ face grew blue as he glared at North, but bit his tongue from arguing. Connor didn’t look embarrassed at all; he was intrigued. A gleam in his eyes told her he was up to the task.

“I always accomplish my mission.”

Jericho glanced between Markus and Connor but they didn’t seem to be acting any different. Markus just looked as a mix of annoyed and embarrassed that he was the trophy, and Connor acted like he was after taking a joke literally; he’ll take the challenge literally too.

Filler time. Josh had looked between the two in a panic. “Can we please not talk about this in a family restaurant?” Simon laughed at his expression and Hank shrugged, jostling the offended android.

“We’re family enough Josh.”

Simon took up the reigns by mentioning Markus’ painting habits. He figured if he could embarrass Markus enough he’d admit his feelings for the detective easily. “I think Markus mentioned once you had one of the nicest figure he’d ever seen, Connor. He has a sketchbook he showed to me once.”

Markus grew bright blue and nodded, looking shyly at Connor. “You really do Connor. I was honored to have been able to sketch you.”

“Why thank you Markus.”

There was a lull in the conversation as they waited for a reaction, but nothing. Connor instead moved on and launched another story about a time he walked with Sumo and Hank, but once again, it seemed as if this was normal. Markus sat and listened to Connor’s story, laughing at the appropriate times but didn’t look out of the ordinary. He didn’t exhibit any notion that he would be on his knees admitting his feelings, despite being embarrassed twice already and exposed. Jericho was stumped.

We have after dinner, North reminded them.

Their stories had to come to a stop once the food arrived. Everyone decides to eat meals for Hank’s sake, even turning on their taste sensors in order to enjoy the food entirely. Hank wouldn’t admit this to anyone but he feels gratitude for their consideration. The gruff city cop smiles as the androids clamor over each other for spices, passing around bowls of food and sharing food they think would taste much better than their own. He chuckles as North steals food from Josh, while Simon offers pieces of his food to everyone he could give to. Markus and Connor find themselves preventing Josh and North from shoving salad in each other’s faces. After a while though, things find itself at a peace as each person eat to enjoy their meal, occasionally sharing quiet conversation to each other.

Then suddenly, Markus looks up and nudges Connor. “Could you pass me the olive oil babe?”

Wordlessly Connor reaches for the oil and gives it to Markus. He also leans forward and gives Markus a kiss on the cheek, before picking up his utensils and resuming his meal. On the other end of the table, utensils clatter and everyone looks up.

North’s face is bright blue, and she points an accusatory finger at Connor. Her voice is just above a whisper. “What did you just do?”

Connor is confused and replies carefully, “I gave Markus a kiss?” Unfortunately this only fuels her wrath even more as she turns to a now embarrassed Markus.

“Markus…” Her voice is threatening and grows in volume as she glares with the fires of the sun in her beautiful brown eyes. “What did that kiss mean?” Even Simon and Josh look in shock as they stare at the former android leader as well, mixed faces of confusion and surprise.

Hank is also confused. “What do you mean? You got something against boys dating each other North?” His voice has a dangerous edge to it, as he prepares to defend his son and possible son-in-law. (He also won’t tell anyone he just thought of that.) “It’s 2039 North, and you’re an android-”

“Wait what?!” Now it’s Hank’s turn to cower in her gaze. “You know Connor and Markus are dating?”

Everyone is looking at each other, but mostly between Connor and Markus. Hank seems to realize what the situation is and glares back at Markus, who’s shrinking more and more into his seat. Even Connor isn’t amused.

“Wait you didn’t tell them we were dating?” Connor’s voice sounds hurt, and Markus sits up to explain.

“Babe I didn’t have the time-”

“How long have you guys been dating?” Simon interrupts, trying to disarm the situation and genuinely curious. How had they not known all this time? Were Jericho really that easy to fool? North looks as if she were going to blow up.

Markus looks too hesitant to respond. “A year?”

“YOU WERE DATING FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?!” North nearly screams, but the squeeze from Josh’s hand on her bicep reminds her to keep it to at least a level 8. Family restaurant, all that. “I can’t believe this. Who else knows?”

“Hank,” Connor answers, pointing to the Lieutenant. “And Gavin Reed.”

North rips a napkin in half.

“Gavin Reed knew and your own friends didn’t? Markus what the hell!”

“Okay to be fair, Gavin figured it out the moment Connor walked into the precinct,” Hank comes to the rescue, shaking his head as Connor shrugs guiltily. “Said Connor triggered his ‘gaydar’, whatever the hell that meant. But yeah, I am pretty surprised Markus didn’t tell you guys almost immediately.”

Everyone stares deliberately at Markus until he shrugs, sighing and scratching the back of his head. “I just… didn’t see the point in announcing it. No one had to know our business. Our relationship wasn’t a status people needed to comment on. But I do see the betrayal it led when I didn’t tell my best friends about it.” He turns to Jericho and bows his head in apology.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys sooner. But yes, Connor and I have been dating.” He takes Connor’s hand in his and presses a kiss to the knuckles, smiling in affection. “And it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.”

They all awe as Connor leans in for a kiss, his LED shining blue. North leans back in her seat, still a little miffed at Markus but satisfied nonetheless. I told you it would work out, She sends to Simon and Josh, as Hank leans forward and ruffles his partner’s hair affectionately. Jericho agrees, the happiness of their leader about the news spreading around the table like wildfire. Laughter passes between the group until everyone is smiling, content.

Operation Conkus: Successful.

11/11 tag game

I was tagged by @contes-de-rheio. Thank you!

1. The plot of the first original story you wrote

Oh, lordy... I’ll have to think back on that. The first original story I can remember writing was in junior high (which would be *cough* like 20+ years ago???). It was a science fiction about a team of people who invented individual spaceship/suits to fight an alien invasion (think mechs, but I’m pretty sure I had never been exposed to those when I wrote it). I didn’t finish it because it really didn’t have a plot beyond what I just told you. ;)

2. What do you think about advising a story solely over the character‘s sexuality, ethnicity or religion?

Not sure I totally understand the question, but I personally would never write a story where the main plot turns on someone’s sexuality, ethnicity or religion — mostly because I’m a cis het white female who grew up protestant, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable writing a book ENTIRELY about the life or struggles of someone who had a very different experience. At least, I don’t feel up to the task at this stage of my writing life.

I am, however, big on including a diverse cast in my books, and their struggles do play into the plot sometimes. I prefer to make those characteristics secondary, though to the person themselves; I try to treat those characters as I would a cis het white male. If his skin color/religion/sexuality isn’t a big deal, then the other variations in other characters shouldn’t be either (though it’s a fine line between treating those things as normal and unremarkable and tokenism, and I’m aware of that as well...)

My last epic WIP (that has become something of a bottom drawer novel for the time being) had an allegorical theme of religious intolerance (and intolerance in general) and one of the main characters was a Muslim teenage girl who experienced some serious crap because of her gender and religion. BUT were that novel ever to see the light of day, I would want to hire a Muslim woman to help me read and edit it to make certain I’m portraying my character in a truthful and appropriate light.

WHEW that was a lot.

3. How many alternatives of your WIPs plot do you have in mind?

None. I built my current WIP using the plot of The Thin Man as sort of a template (because I suck at plot and was using this NaNo as an experiment and practice to improve). Of course, the details and even some of the plot deviated as the WIP grew, but I didn’t have multiple variations.

As I’m outlining the sequel, I do have a couple of places in the outline where I say “either this happens OR that happens” because I haven’t decided yet, but they’re not big plot points.

4. Your favorite character ever

My own OC or character in general?

Right now, David MacInish, the half-fae detective in my WIP is my favorite. As for characters in other people’s works, I love the Doctor, from Doctor Who, and Remus Lupin.

(I guess I like a man with a tragic backstory...)

5. what do you like about world building?

I love describing settings, and I love imagining fantastic, impossible places. There’s a magical, possibly sentient library that’s popped up in two of my WIPs and I keep wanting to find the right place for it. Maybe she needs her own book. ;)

Question you didn’t ask: What do you HATE about world building? Working out the rules of my magic system. I sometimes paint myself into a corner and then don’t know how to get out.

6. The longest time your worked on a WIP to finish the first draft?

OK, don’t judge: 10+ years. My bottom-of-the-drawer WIP took me more than 10 years to finish. I finally hired a book coach and finished the first full draft in 2017. In my defense, I was doing that thing where you write five chapters, then go back and rewrite five chapters, then rewrite those five chapters over and over and over again. But it took me 10 years to write the whole damn thing start to finish. And now I pretty much never want to look at it again. ;)

7. Movie or tv show adaption?

Oh man. I’m torn! What I really want is a thousand episodes of a TV show but with movie-quality production values. Is that really too much to ask? ;)

Actually, I just recently watched the BBC miniseries of A Discovery of Witches and I thought they did a great job with the sweeping, epic feel, in 10 episodes or whatever it was. But I’m always like MOAR PLS.

8. Your favorite part of being a writer?

I love the giddy explosion of creativity when I’m in flow, when I’m inhabiting my world, when I’m imagining new things. My daughter calls playing pretend “making movies,” and that’s really what it feels like to me. Directing and inhabiting these movies in my head.

I think that’s why I struggle with editing, because it’s not the heady creation phase. It feels a lot more like WORK.

9. Planer, Pantser or something in between?

Well, pantsing is the reason it took me 10 years to finish a WIP (that and I moved states, changed jobs, had a baby, and started a business in that time...).

I found in writing this NaNo that it was SO much easier having a template to work from. Every time I got stuck, I just looked at the book to see what happened next and I could get moving again. So I’m working on a detailed outline for the next book. (Although, I am allowing myself to capture snippets of scenes and dialogue as they occur to me.)

10. Writing by hand or via PC?

On the computer. When I was in junior high (see above) and just starting to write my own stories, I taught myself to type better, because I couldn’t hand-write fast enough to get the ideas out of my head. Now I type over 100 words a minute, so my fingers move almost as fast as my brain... ;)

11. Your go to snacks while writing?

If I’m going to eat while writing, it’s the hand to mouth action I crave more than the actual food, so I try to pick something relatively healthy that requires a lot of that — like grapes, blueberries, or plain popcorn (love the buttered stuff, but it makes fingers greasy for typing). Mostly I just drink copious amounts of coffee, tea, or carbonated water.

Thank you again for tagging me!

The rules are 11 questions answered, 11 questions given, and 11 people tagged! I’ll tag my new writeblr friends (but I tagged some of you in the last one, so just do the ones you like!): @iloveyouappleiloveyouorange, @foreshadowingss, @starlitesymphony, @virginiawritesforlovers, @caberetofwords, and @kipoints.

1. Have you had to “kill any darlings” from your current WIP, ie: quotes, characters, scenes, etc. that you LOVE but don’t fit and have to be cut? Please share.

2. What is your favorite genre to write in and why? Is it different from the genres you like to consume?

3. Do you consciously study existing works by other authors to improve your own writing? If so, what types of things do you look at?

4. Have you noticed any patterns in your own writing, ie: you always have a certain type of character, like to explore a certain type of story, etc.?

5. Do you do most of your world building before you write, while writing the first draft, or during revisions?

6. If when your WIP hits the bestseller list, where would you like to go or what would you like to do on a book tour? Is there somebody you’d like to be interviewed by?

7. How do you approach setting the scene in your work? Are you into lush descriptions or giving the bare minimum and allowing the reader to fill in the blanks?

8. Do you follow a set structure (ie: hero’s journey, 3-act structure) when plotting out your works, or fly by the seat of your pants?

9. What does your revision process look like?

10. Please share a bit of dialogue from your WIP that shows us something important about the character’s personality.

11. Please share any jokes or funny bits from your WIP of which you are ridiculously proud. ;)
