Blood Red: Favourite piece of dialogue from your wip

“This is insane,” hisses Talis, for the fifth time that day.

“I know,” says Iris, also for the fifth time that day.

“By insane I mean suicidal.”

“I appreciate the good vibes you’re sending my way.”

“You know I’m always here for you,” Talis nods sagely.

idk idk I love my dialogue a lot it’s arguably my strongest skill

6. Favorite character you ever created.

I’m putting your other asks all in one, hope that’s okay!

My favorite character I’ve ever created is Dr. Agau. I don’t think she’s a traditional antagonist, and she’s also my first truly original character, she wasn’t based off of anybody irl like other SOLE characters.

19. First line of a WIP you’re working on. 

SOLE’s first line: Beth feels the pressure of Dr. Agau’s gaze like a physical weight on her shoulders.

34. Handwritten notes or typed notes? Handwritten, I don’t like maneuvering my laptop on tiny desks. Also, I can draw arrows and diagrams and stuff on paper.

1. who’s your celebrity crush?

I have so many! But umm.... Kristin Stokes, obviously, comes first. I also really really really love Brie Larson and I guess my not-so celebrity but still a slightly well-known person crush is Vicki Manser, who understudies at Six the Musical on West End.

Oh, and Duncan Laurence. Because who doesn’t love Duncan Laurence? Especially if he wins ESC 2019 for your country for the first time in 45 years

Unusual asks!

17 : Do you make soundtracks for each story?

bruhhhh yes music is like my number one inspiration when writing. I write up scenes to specific songs, invent character personalities to bands and albums, the whole deal

writer ask game!

Page 289 please?

Thanks for asking! I hope you like the quote~ (really wish I could give it more context, but alas, spoilers)

From the final page (289) of Run says the Devil

The mirror was in reach, in reach. Frantically, she grabbed at its frame, foreign fingers fumbling at the edges. Shaking as she moved, Devi stared into it and-

Send me a number and I’ll tell you my favourite line from that page of my wip!

3. the last text you sent to someone?

“ Daredevil is amazing and you are valid even if you forgot it counted as a TV show xD “ 

To my college roommate

Congrats on 2k!! Very well deserved. For the calligraphy, could you do the name “Khira” for one of my OCs? Preferably in black please and maybe in like a ‘sharp’ style (if that’s a thing). Thank you and congratulations!

“I listened to loud music because I knew it would piss him off. I dated girls because I knew it would piss him off.”

Anthem | WIP: Been There, Done That

Name: Anthem Chen (AKA That Bitch*)

*Unlike other aliases in this WIP, Anthem’s nickname is self-appointed

Age: 18

Occupation: College freshman

Appearance: Black and violet hair worn in a shoulder-length side shave. Eyes so dark, it’s like staring out into the vacuum of space. A leather aviator jacket and heeled ankle boots with fur cuffs. Lavender headphones rest permanently around her neck. She stands no more than 5 feet in heels.

Background:

Anthem was born for the stage.

She took an early interest in music. Naturally, her parents pushed her to perfect her craft. A little too hard, perhaps. So she pushed back. They weren’t ready for that.

They shipped her off to boarding school to finish junior high. There, she started dressing, speaking, and simply being as loud as possible. She was never oblivious or ignorant, only dangerously vulnerable. She started dreaming again.

College was supposed to be a fresh start, but Anthem was born for the stage, and she won’t stay away for long.

Been There, Done That taglist! Ask to be added/removed: @phahbiyah @akiwitch @shadowfire71-writes @novadragoness @dove-actually

30. if you had to dye your hair an unnatural color right now, what would you choose?

Right now? Pink or purple. I’d have to also unnaturally dye my head blonde first for it to be noticeable, but pink or purple. Maybe both!

Unusual asks!

11/11/11

I was tagged by @dove-actually thanks so much! 💖

Rules: answer the 11 questions at the end of this post, write 11 questions of your own, and tag 11 (ish) people. 

1. What/who does your protagonist love the most in the world?

I have two protagonists, and they love each each other ; ( (frowning wink bc they’re not happy about it)

2. How many WIPs are you working on right now?

Just one, I like to be completely emmersed in one thing at a time.

3. How do you come up with titles for your WIPs / chapters? 

My current WIP title (Honey Hawk) is named after a type of wasp in my story that ends up being crucial to the plot and I am a Whore for alliteration. I haven’t started coming up with chapter titles but I do want to add them.

4. What’s your favorite OC name and how did you come up with it?

I don’t know if I have a favorite. For the vantarians I accidentally gave some of them random Arabic words for names (I guess I just heard the words and my crow brain tucked them away for later) so I’ve changed some of those. The vantaric names I’ve come up with more recently have been based off the Latin names for intertidal creatures, since vantarians are an intertidal species.

5. What are your top three favorites genres to read?

Uhhhh that’s hard but I guess I’ll say romance, classical, and sci-fi.

6. What makes you choose to follow a WIP or writeblr?

Basically anything that catches my attention. I see a lot of WIPs I like that I end up not keeping up with :(

7. What are your favorite tropes to read?

Enemies to lovers is probably my favorite, which is why I’m writing it.

8. What is your favorite place to read?

Lying in bed.

9. Which OC relationship (of any sort, not just romantic) is the most important in your WIP?

The relationship between my two protagonists is the most important. I would say their relationship working together is more important than the romantic relationship that develops.

10. What kind of relationships do you like to read about?

I like relationships where two people work really well together, if that makes sense. Like, people who just click and get shit done.

11. What are your favorite character archetypes?

I’m a big fan of the magician archetype, though I’m not writing one into my current WIP. I also like the caregiver archetype, especially paired with a dumbass.

I will tag (hope none of you mind, no pressure obvi):
