#anyway back to boring regular non ramble tags

[brainlessbaguette]

Nothing like trying to save for masquerade and the entirety of chapter 7 only to be unable to resist ponytail Malleus. Dammit TWST I'm too poor to whale any further, stop dangling fine diasomnia cards in front of my face. I am trying to not pull at all until all heck breaks loose, but I am very weak willed. Round of applause to those who have saved multiple pity rounds, you guys are my idols.

Created by @jxsminewrites. I was tagged by @rosecorcoranwrites . Thanks! 😊

Rules: tag 5 or more other writers. If you aren’t tagged, feel free to use these questions anyway and consider yourself tagged!

1. Short stories, novels, or poems?

Short stories and novels.

2. What genre do you prefer reading?

Does manga count? If so, I like yuri, magic, & shojo.

Regular Books: Lgbt+ &/or Fantasy, & historical fiction focusing on native american tribes or early civilization. I also like young adult novels (mainly by VC Andrews/Sarah Dessen or something like Beautiful Creatures).

3. What genre do you prefer writing?

I love fantasy! Magic & mystical creatures & beautiful lands! 😍 Also, I tend to only write lgbt+. I can't help it; I just love writing about two girls in love. 👭

4. Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person?

Depends on what I'm working on. For my WIP, I definitely plan and outline, though my scenes sometimes float randomly through my head until I absolutely have to write them down. For my short stories, I write as it comes to me.

5. What music do you listen to while writing?

A little bit of everything. I have a playlist that includes cartoon songs, some pop, some rock, some new age, & some random songs that I have no idea where they came from. 🎶

6. Fave books/movies?

Books: Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Annie on my Mind, Clan of the Cave Bear, The Language of Flowers, & many many more

Movies: LOTR cartoon movies, Howl's Moving Castle, Wolf Children, Beauty and the Beast

7. Any current WIPs?

I am working on a lgbt+ young adult novel about a singer and an artist who are both dealing with heavy home problems. They meet, become friends, and slow burn into lovers. They learn to lean on each other for support and find strength by being together (romanticly and non). Also my singer has a best friend who is still in the closet but totally amazing (he is super down to earth, the best advice giver, a rock drummer, & absolutely loves his twin sisters and plants).

8. If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?

My hair would be pulled back in a twisted bun, probably with a pencil. I would be wearing brightly colored tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops (if any shoes, I prefer barefoot). Maybe include my reading glasses, a book in my hand, and my phone on my hip.

9. Create a character description for yourself:

Red hair, brown eyes, short (5'3"). Really pale skin, freckles. Bright green nail polish. Likes to read, write, & cuddle. Loves animals (mostly cats). Sometimes doodles on arm with bright colored pens. Has sun & moon tattoos on inside of calves. Can be found in sunny rooms, sitting in a plush chair with a book. (I know this sounds silly & jumbled, but this is seriously how I keep up with my babies. Lol)

10. Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing?

No. I try to keep real life separate from my writing.

11. Are you kill-happy with characters?

No. So far my works haven't called for any deaths, but that might change. I doubt I will want to kill several characters though. Only if I really have to. I always feel bad for putting my babies through unnecessary stress.

12. Dream job?

Being a well loved author

13. Coffee or tea while writing?

Tea, mainly chamomile & honey.

14. Slow or fast writer?

Slow. I take ages to write even one chapter because I want my timeline to fit right and I rewrite every time I turn around! Honestly, my WIP has 3 chapters mainly because I have rewrote them like 5 times (& have to redo them again).

15. Where/who/what do you find inspiration from?

Books, video games, anime, music, and random pictures (mainly nature pics or anime art). Also my hubby & sister, both of whom listen to my ramblings and bounce ideas with me. 💙

16. If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be?

I would love to be a nature weaver (earth/water magic) or a forestry archer. Either way, I would be a beast tamer and lover of forests.

17. Most fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche?

Favorites: Don't have one.

Least favorite: Love Triangles. I hate them.

18. Fave places to write:

In a plush recliner by a window in the living room. So comfy.

19. Fave scenes to write?

Heart-warming romance scenes & deep, thoughtful moments.

20. Most productive time of day for writing?

I like to write during car rides, laying in bed, or just whenever. Depends on what we are doing that day and when the mood strikes me. Sometimes I'll go hours about my book in my head (maybe all day), then have to write immediately. Other times, I'll get bored and pull open a word document.

21. Reason for writing:

To give someone a place to escape to or to show that they aren't alone with what they are dealing with. Books became my saviors at a young age & I know how they can take away the worries of the day (even if only for a moment). I want to give my readers that chance to get away if they need it.

Okay! I will tag @ravencharm , @christinawritesfiction , @helenpowers , @readalittle-writealittle , & @merigreenleaf .
