WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE: Idk? I’ve always liked to read, and I’ve always liked to write. I learned to read when I was still in preschool, and in elementary my teachers had to take away the books I was sneak-reading in the middle of class. I started writing short stories around the time I was 11, and in junior high we had this writing class where I wrote a slice of life/drama story of a punk kid named Jesse that was dealing with his mother’s remarriage, new family, the grief of losing his father and school/teenager things via his music, friends and new relationship. In high school I didn’t read as much, but I began writing fanfiction that I posted online and I enjoyed making (and was great writing practice!). Later on I went back to OCs and now in college I focus on my WIPs and...here we are.

I just like books, man WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ASPECTS OF YOUR CURRENT WRITING: Right now? The outlining (something I never used to enjoy, much less do! I just created as I went) because I can create and organize and it feels so nice to have things laid out before, like a practice before the show. It also helps me organize my ideas and see what I have to research more deeply into (so far the list goes: amputations, prosthetics, grieving period, anemia, torture, North Korea regime, China’s revolution, Victorian medicine, Australian gangs in the 1920′s, the Soviet Union & LGBT people, guns, demonology, circus life, femicides in the 1920′s USA & England, Scotland witch hunt, alternate realities, electromagnetism & cyberpunk anime/movies).

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING: Just knowing that the kind of story that I’d love to read is out there, and I was the one that made it. Maybe someone else was looking for the same, or at least similar, story that I wrote, and I was able to give it to them. These are stories that I want to tell, that I want people to know and listen to.  FAVORITE TYPES OF STORIES:  (to read) young adult, little doses of romance (if there’s none, that’s good too), fantasy, suspense, mystery / (to write) suspense, horror, young adult, psychological, distopian, mystery BIGGEST STRUGGLE IN REGARDS TO YOUR CURRENT WRITING: Maybe the writing per se? School is killing me. But also, I need to work on my descriptions, set the tone of the scene, that’s always been a struggle to me.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these.  @sayonarashadow shared this after being tagged by someone.  I follow her on my main, so it came up on my timeline, and she encouraged anyone who wanted to to answer.  Some of these questions are the same as ones I’ve already done, but I don’t really care.

Name: Alston

Nickname(s): Als (by my mom and my sister), Al or more occasionally A-L (by my roommate and some of his friends.  Some of the alumni from my school’s rugby team gave me a nickname when they brought me to a bar after one of our games early in the fall season (I had walked off on my own once we were done.  I had almost no experience of being on a team like that so I didn’t know I shouldn’t have done that.)  They called me it maybe once, but it was a bit silly anyway and didn’t really stick.

Zodiac sign: Gemini (cusp w/ Taurus.)  Means pretty much nothing to me though, and I never thought Gemini fit me very well.

Height: Last time I went to the doctor I was measured at 5′3″.  I was excited because usually I’m 5′2″.  :/ 

Orientation: Bi.

Ethnicity: USA (European heritage, from Germany/Switzerland/Norway or maybe Russia.  My ancestors have been in the US for varying amounts of time, but none are particularly recent

Favorite fruit: Kumquats.  They’re fun to eat because they almost seem like tiny oranges, but you can pop the whole thing into your mouth, peel and all.  And the peel is actually sweet.

Favorite season: winter I guess.

Favorite book series: I mostly prefer standalone books, but I still love Harry Potter.

Favorite flower: I guess petunias, but mostly because of that picture I have on here from a while back from my community college campus that looks pretty cool.

Favorite scent: Inside a container of Jelly Belly jelly beans 😵

Coffee, tea, or cocoa: I like them all in different ways at different times. I’d probably choose cocoa if I had to pick.

Cat or dog person: Love them both for different reasons, but if i was getting a pet right now, I think I’d go for a dog.

Average hours of sleep: Lately I feel like it’s been mostly around 4 or something.  I know that’s bad, but I can’t make myself care.

Favorite fictional character: Probably still just Yossarian from Catch-22 and Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog.  IDK

OTP: I am have never really been that into shipping.  Most of the fanfic I wrote when I was younger was not romantically focused at all, and when there was a subplot in there it was between two of my OCs.  One notable exception is the angsty House/Chase fanfic (from the show House, MD) I tried to write when I was 13.  Didn’t get very far.  Not sure if someone made a cutesy name for that pairing or not.

Dream trip: Getting on a plane to San Francisco and not moving away again.

Blogs created: This is the one I use the most, but it does no have the capabilities of a main blog because I created it a while after I made @somethingsifound to keep track of stuff I discovered while out and about.  Back in 2011 the first time I tried to go to college I had a tumblr for a while.  18-year-old me made me cringe less than I expected, but I still deactivated when I remembered about it a bit ago.  Before I jumped on the Tumblr bandwagon I had some Wordpress blogs.  The first one I made I was examining an issue I discussed on my first Tumblr too.  I just found it.  Never posted much on it but it wasn’t the worst thing ever.  I later made a Wordpress blog where I tried to write something short and poetic every day, but it devolved into me posting lists of the interesting random things I tried at the grocery store.  I think I also had a blog on Wordpress where I posted the entries from a journal I kept during a really rough week in my life around the same time I made the others on Wordpress, but I’m not positive. 

Number of followers: 18 on here, plus 3 on my main.

Not gonna tag anyone.  Do this if you want.

EDIT: Just realized I forgot all about the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series when discussing book series.  I really hate Mostly Harmless and haven’t bothered to read And Another Thing ...  since it’s by a different author, but I mostly love it.  Though I did realize all the most major female characters I remember showing up at various points in the series being somehow annoying.  Haven’t really analyzed why; they just bug me.  (I’m mostly talking Trillian, Fenchurch, and Random.  Maybe I forgot someone.)

Edited again to fix the placement of the ellipsis in the title And Another Thing... because I’m dumb and had placed it at the beginning instead of the end.
