Writer's block contains a five-letter word
Writing meme "borrowed" from fandom_me.
What's the last thing you wrote?
A Haruhi/Kyon triple-drabble piece for 31_days.
Was it any good?
Too short for me to consider. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
What's the first thing you ever wrote that you still have?
One chapter of an orphaned Street Fighter fic on Fanfiction.net.
Write poetry?
I used to.
Angsty poetry?
Hell no.
Most fun character you ever wrote?
The tags on my LJ suggest Mai Tokiha from Mai-HiME.
Most annoying character you ever wrote?
Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter. It's part of his character, so it's okay.
Best plot you ever wrote?
Damned if I know.
Coolest plot twist you ever wrote?
None.
How often do you get writer's block?
Plenty of times.
How do you fix it?
Surfing my favorite sites for a half-hour, and then returning to writing.
Do you type or write by hand?
Both, but when it comes to stories, I type, because I can do that faster.
Do you save everything you write?
I only save what I've published. Old drafts get chucked into the recycle bin.
Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Sometimes.
What's your favorite thing that you've written?
One Wonderful April. It's almost finished, actually.
What's everyone else's favorite thing that you've written?
Same as above.
Do you ever show people your work?
Only my online readers. None of my real friends have ever seen my fanfic.
Who's your favorite constructive critic?
Sadly, nobody's given me detailed constructive criticism.
Did you ever write a novel?
I've tried, but I stopped after 7 chapters.
Have you ever written fantasy, sci-fi, or horror?
Yes. Fantasy is one of my favorite subjects to write about.
Ever written romance or teen angsty drama?
Romance, yes; teen angsty drama, no.
What's one genre you have never written, and probably never will?
Mystery Novels.
How many writing projects are you working on right now?
Three, all femslash. Mai/Natsuki (for 30_kisses), Sakura/Karin (for 30kisses - notice the lack of an underscore there), and Mai/Mikoto (for 10lilies).
Do you want to write for a living?
I'd like to, but i'd have to give up my day job. It'd probably be a side thing.
Have you ever written something for a magazine or newspaper?
No.
Have you ever won an award for your writing?
I got a fic recommended for a FF.net C2 community. Does that count?
Ever written something in script or play format?
Once, long ago. I tried to expand it to novel format, but it didn't quite work out.
What is your favorite word?
Seriously.
Do you ever write based on yourself?
Sometimes.
Which of your characters most resembles you?
An OC named Maxine McAllister I wrote as part of my stalled fantasy novel.
Where do you get ideas for your characters?
Whatever universe they came from. If I don't know enough about the series, I check Wikipedia.
Do you ever write based on your dreams?
I did one time.
Do you prefer happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
Open-ended, but hopeful. My stories are small-scale, so loose ends are inevitable.

No.
Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
Yes, very much so.
Ever write something entirely in chatspeak?
Never.
Does music help you write?
Sometimes.
Are people surprised and confused when they find out you write well?
No.
Quote something you've written.
What could she be planning? I hope it isn't something bad. The last thing I need is a headache before I go to sleep tonight.
