Writers meme stolen from furriku
1. How often do you write a week?
Not counting LJ or RP, it's irrtic. It could be several times a week or not at all for several weeks. I've been getting back into the swing of it lately though.
2. Do you carry a notebook with you? Is it full of stuff to do with writing?
I have a little palm sized notebook and pencil in my purse to jot down thoughts, Ideas, sketches, song titles I want to download...
3. Do you only write when inspired?
When I was writing Project C I made myself write everyday, inspired or not. Now I generally write when inspired.
4. Can you self edit?
Yes, but any self editor misses things. I think self editing is a courtesy you do for anyone editing your book. You don't want to show lazy writing to your editor/beta/whatever.
5. How do you feel about critique?
It's hightly important. You can't improve without it. The problem with me and critique however, is that I find people add their two cents like "You need to explain X", before the get to X in the story.
6. How do you feel about rejection?
You're not going to please them all. It's bound to happen but I'm sure I'll find a buyer eventually.
7. Are you misunderstood?
...OH WAH!
Seriously this is a lame question. Everyone has the potential to be misunderstood. I know I' not going to make any friends with my novels but it's just a book.
8. Is your writing misunderstood?
See above.
9. Do you consider writing a craft? An art?
Yes. But I also believe anyone could do it if they really put in the effort.
10. Have your relationships suffered because of writing?
No.
11. Has your job suffered?
No.
12. Do you ever get smacked with inspiration?
I started Project C all because of inspiration.
"Ideas are like Jizz. If they hit and egg, worlds happen."
13. What percentage of writing is talent, inspiration, and hard work?
No clue?
14. And most importantly - do you enjoy writing?
Yes, it makes me feel productive and like I am actually here for a reason. Shut up.
