So here's the NejiHina entry for 30_kisses, since I already posted the IchiRuki one. This one's a bit different from most of the ones I write in a couple ways. First, it's first-person, which I almost never write. I don't really like it, it always feels less like fanfiction and more like I'm just typing a post in here. Beyond that, it's also not really a ( Read more... )

ehh...I have a strange question for you. I have just read a few of your fanfictions and in all honesty, they left me breathless. You have such a talent with words and weaving your stories to where I can see them in my mind's eye. I want to improve my own writing and was wondering if you could ...*cough* give me a few tips? Or something like that? If you don't mind of course.

Sure, I don't mind at all. ^___^

Phew!
Anywho, I am a big fan of NejiHina and love the whole story behind them and especially how you've written them. I want to know, did you take any classes for your writing? Like creative writing or journalism?

Did it take you quite a bit of time to sit and think the plots out and all?

How do you get the words to flow so well, and ...your vocabulary is fantastic. Did you learn it all in school? Or on your own?

(And I would also like to know if I can friend you.)

No, I never really took any classes in writing, you're actually the first person who's asked me if I have.

As for plots and such, some of them take a while to think out, but some of the time they just come to me. I find that I write best when I don't try to MAKE the story come, and just kind of let it flow, if that makes sense.

One of the most important things that I can pass on is to be SO anal in regards to keeping your characters in character. Neji is a hard character to do, most people tend to lose his cold, stoic edge when they try to pair him with someone, and make him too fluffy, to snuggly and he's just not like that.

Flow and vocabulary come from practice and a good thesaurus. I recommend just using an online one, it really helps. If you want to strengthen your descriptive writing, try participating in theme-challenges like 30_kisses and the like, or try challenging yourself with things like "describe the concept of "red" to someone who has always been blind". Things like that make you think differently and approach things from a ( ... )
