I've missed a few days. Sorry about that (and thanks for missing it if you actually did. :) I had to get away from the computer. Seems like this is where I spend my life these days! I wish I could mentally record this stuff while I'm, say, in the swimming pool. That would be awesome. Of course, then I'd probably do that so much that my skin ( Read more... )

10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in?You know, I actually am having trouble answering this one. I wouldn't say my characters live ordinary lives, but I'm having trouble coming up with "weird situations" that aren't spoilers. A lot of you haven't read my stories yet so I don't want to put spoilers in here. But ( Read more... )

9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.Asking this question is a little like asking "how do you meet people?" I dunno, you just come across them, and some of them strike you enough to want to know more about them ( Read more... )

8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?This is a fun question ( Read more... )

7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?

I usually can't listen to music while I write (with some exceptions I'll get into), but this is still a significant question because I do have music I listen to during breaks in writing that really helps me get back on track. ( Read more... )

6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?I used to think I was an evening writer, but I think that depends on the story. Different stories have different moods which therefore call for different times of day to write them best. That being said, this can become a cop-out, saying "this isn't ( Read more... )

Even though Day 5 was yesterday, if you're following my main journal, you see I was booked the whole day (had to go hang out with Barack and all) so here's Day 5's entry now, and I'll do Day 6 later tonight. :)

5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?Hmm. For age of ( Read more... )

4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!Okay. My first recurring character was a girl named Cutey Taffy. That's a first and last name right there, though it sounds like some kind of weird Engrish-derived anime name (at least, I always thought of my character when I heard about the anime Cutie Honey). I don't know where I got the ( Read more... )

3. How do you come up with names, for characters (and for places if you're writing about fictional places)?Hmm. I haven't given this much thought as an overall issue, probably because it depends on the story. Fantastic stories have different rules than realistic ones, for starters. Altitude is fantastic, too, but I use a mix of slightly exotic ( Read more... )

Writing question of the day! Exciting. And I'm officially done with classes now! Yay!

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?Oh, who came up with this question? I can't imagine that any writer serious enough to be doing this meme has a small enough number of characters that she can count them. Does this include ( Read more... )
