ok i got tagged in two of these, one from @shit-she-wrote and another from @carrotgirl-1 (thanks to you both!) so time to answer some questions
1. Whatās the first story you remember writing?
i was kinda late to the writing game, and the first big venture into creative writing i remember was running a hunger games roleplay blog, so i had to write the updates on those lol there was also a book i started writing in a similar genre around that time, but i donāt remember much about it
2. How has your taste in books changed since childhood?
umm i mean itās matured somewhat i suppose, but iāve always enjoyed a good fantasy or mystery
3. Do you see any similarities to your favorite books in your work? If yes, what are they?
i love a found family, so i like to write about those when i can
4. What sort of music inspires you?
to inspire ideas/creativity, i like music that sounds like it could be used in a movie or trailer, kinda big and epic or with emotional shifts. for actually writing, i need music i donāt know or without lyrics, otherwise iāll start singing along and get distracted
5. Favorite book?
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
6. Favorite mythology (Greek, Norse, etc.)?
greek is the one i know best, so iād have to say that. but anything with mythological/religious basis interests me
actually if weāre includingĀ āreligionsā (whatever the distinction between religion/mythology may be), christianity/catholicism is what i was raised on, so i know and like to play off of a lot of that usually
7. Dream vacation?
one someone else is paying for lol
um if iām going with something new, iāve always wanted to visit japan
i will also always accept a trip to Disney World
8. Favorite writing snack?
i canāt eat, i need both hands on the keyboard lol (something not super messy i suppose, like blueberries)
9. What tea do you drink the most while writing?
i donāt drink tea whoops
10. Do you have a special writing cup, that you drink tea out of specifically when writing to fill you up with inspiration?
i have this very large mickey mouse mug that i would probably use if i was drinking something hot like that, but again, not a tea (or coffee!) drinker
11. Write your favorite quote from your recent wip!!
*~~warnings for sexual language not great for work or minors probably lol~~*
RYVER: Donāt you pretend to be their boyfriend?
MAX: Not like this! Usually I just tell them how special they are to me while pounding their brains out.
RYVER: Huh. I wouldāve pegged you as a bottom.
KAT: You wouldāve pegged him as a bottom?
RYVER: I stand by my word choice.
and on that note, on to round two!
1. How do you pick character names?
through a long struggle. i hate naming things. honestly it depends on what iām working on, so sometimes itās just what sounds good, sometimes itās to fit a personality, sometimes itās just keysmashing until something vaguely pronounceable appears
2. Which OC would you like to meet irl?
probably Toph from where things may lie unseenĀ for ~secret~ (spoiler) reasons
3. Sunset or sunrise?
sunset for the colors, but i do enjoy a good sunrise (tho i detest waking up that early)
4. Would you rather explore the deep space or the deep seas?
*chanting* deep space! deep space!
5. What inspired your latest WIP?
so iām actually currently revamping an old script of mine, and for the life of me i cannot remember what sparked the initial concept for it. but what made me want to go back and rework it was watching FleabagĀ (which is amazing btw)
6. Happy endings or sad endings?
a mix? i guess. iām good with either as long as whatever it is is done well
in my own writing i tend to mix them a bit, just because i think life and stories are never quite that simple (at least the stories i tell) so thereās usually some satisfaction amidst devastation
7. Do you believe in ghosts?
i grew up watching Ghost WhispererĀ (it was like the first Adultā¢ show i watched) and now i canāt not believe in ghosts
8. Whatās the first line from your favorite WIP?
youāre asking me to choose a favorite child?!
for scripts, itās probably Small Ponds which starts:
EXT. LAKE KINGFISHER - DAY - 2010
The lake is relatively still in the summer afternoon. A bird arcs out of the sky to skirt over its surface.
currently The Vestige of an Unwonted WindĀ is my favorite novel wip, since itās the one iām working on lol. it starts:
The beginning of the end was gentle, a dipping of the toe into a spring of boiling water.
Which, should you come across a pool of bubbling liquid, do proceed with caution, for it is either very hot water or not water at all, and neither offer a pleasant swim.
9. If you could shapeshift into any animal, which would it be?
ohhh this is so tough. probably into some type of bird so i could fly
10. So if youāre heading to a lovely garden buffet, with every cuisine imaginable, and you had free-flowing drinks and a chocolate fountain and desserts galore, and youāre wearing a nice dress or suit, right, and thereās a line in front of the roasted meats area, but youāre drooling and you just canāt wait to bite into that juicy steak so you goāyou go to the seafood section, and then you see this person, this person whoās hogging all the lobster, just smiling at you as they keep piling on lobster after lobster, they canāt hold it anymore, they donāt have enough hands or plates, so you help them out, and after you help them out they smile sweetly and ask if youād care for some lobster.
Who is this person?
first of all iām obsessed with this question
second of all, i have absolutely no idea lmao i donāt know if i know anyone this into lobster. is anyone this into lobster? are they okay? do they like need to bring 99 lobster to a troll guarding a bridge in order to pass? are they on a quest? can i join them?
11. Whatās your favorite line from your favorite OC?
youāre really testing me here, arenāt you?
hmm Ben and Monique from Small PondsĀ are the children i never stop thinking about so iāll do a line from each of them
Moniqueās:
Any actress worth her salt makes her presence felt long after sheās gone.
Benās (with context, but the last line specifically):
DYLAN: If Iām lurking, what do they think youāre doing?
BEN: Trying to seduce you.
DYLAN: At a funeral?
BEN: Thereās worse they think Iāve done.
ok from what iāve heard, this cycle has gone on for too long so iām not gonna make questions or tag anyone because i think the people i would tag have done this at least once
however! if you havenāt been tagged and are like aw man i wanna answer some of these cool questions, feel free to pick 11 of them and just say i tagged you. iāll take the fall, thatās a sacrifice iām willing to make
