NaBloPoMo - Day 23
Writing Meme from 2015 - some answers have been updated.
Writer's meme
Gakked from Engarian
1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing
“Being a creature of habit, she flipped on the light and turned on the monitor to begin her day…”
2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?
I just open the doc and start.
3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?
These days I enjoy smut - sweet, loving porn.
4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?
Many, too many to name.
5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?
Not something I ever gave any thought to but at least a thousand.
6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)
Legolas and Aragorn.
7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.
Time - all about time.
8. Why do you choose to write?
I love it. It's a distraction from my problems.
9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?
Nope.
10. What inspires you the most?
Captain America!
11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?
Celeborn’s Book, a long series that is entirely smut.
12. A fic you wish you had written better, and why?
I am not sure there is anything. Maybe my original story for the only Namowrimo that I did.
13. Favorite fic from another author?
Probably “Ansereg” from Tyellas though it is as dark as hell itself.
14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?
Maybe Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson
15. Your guilty writing pleasure?
Dirty, violent sex
16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or make it up as you write?
I begin and the characters take over. I have tried to make outlines and such but the characters always do as they please in the end.
17. Would you describe yourself as a fast writer?
Not as much as I once was, but I am ambitious.
18. How old were you when you started writing?
I began writing a little as a high school girl.
19. Why did you start writing?
I always told stories in my head. I just decided to write them down.
20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of. These are from Rumors of War - the original story I did for the only Namowrimo that I've done.
“Son, the Bible says there’ll always be wars and rumors of wars until the end of time. It’s a true thing. Wars have taken more from me than anything other than time. I lost my family to war when I was a boy, my best friend to the Indian Wars and a grandson to the Great War. War is never a good thing, no matter how many people tell you it is. Never forget that.”
He never had. He stood there in the cold January wind and thought about his grandpa’s words. Another war was coming. And soon too, if the television and papers were telling the truth. Another one of Grandpa’s Matt’s children would go to this one too. His own granddaughter, Laura, would go to the Middle East.
He remembered one more thing his grandpa had said to him too.
“Every night when you say your prayers, pray for peace, boy. Every night.”
And Billy did.
