Master post. 30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters! WAUGH, I hate tagging. Want, take, have. I know a lot of talented writers, both professional and hobbyists, and there’s a lot to praise about them all. This one is… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 30 →

Master post. 29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters? All the damn time. There’s a reason why I carry a little notebook with me (or two, or three) everywhere I go. If I’m not writing I’m thinking about writing, thinking about what I’m… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 29 →

Master post. 28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there’s nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones. I have not, not yet. I’d like to write a deaf character someday: I studied ASL a little in college and I think it’s a… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 28 →

Master post. 27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters. Well, you see, I write romance novels, so there has to be some kind of chemistry and attraction between my main characters. The POV character, and… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 27 →

Master post. 26. Let’s talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him! Alas, no. I can’t draw. The only drawing I can think of that someone’s made of my characters is the cover of Queen of Wands: That would be… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 26 →

Master post. 25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them. No, and not for lack of trying. Mostly I forget about them, since they don’t really play into the plot. Mirrored from Jenna Jones.com.

Master post. 24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What’s the most interesting way you’ve killed someone? Fairly willing, though I’m more likely to kill of a minor character than a main one. A death can set a plot in motion, for instance. The problem I have… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 24 →

Master post. 23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)? As others have said before me, it depends. Planning can be as little as ten minutes to a year or longer. If I’m writing an improv or a comment fic… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 23 →

Master post. 22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not. If I don’t writing something down I tend to forget it, so if there’s something I haven’t written, it’s pretty much lost. But I will also admit to having a piece of… Continue reading 30 days of writing, day 22 →
