👀 2, 13, 16, 17, 38 and 39! 😄 Have a nice day, Ferre!!!
i'm a writer i swear ( ft. weird questions for writers w/ @theimpalpable )
2. If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?
this is where i tell you that i am WEAK and absolutely could NOT do it 😭 tumblr roleplay is how i got good at writing, which means i also accidentally trained myself to focus writing wise only when i'm writing on a screen JFKLSDJFKLDSJ
that being said, even if i am not a wizard, i use exclusive black gel pens to write reminders on post-it notes and in my planner!!
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
i'm really bad at writing physical descriptions and when i say that, i mean i'm bad at incorporating it in my writing without making it sound...clunky. this is the main reason my writing almost never includes descriptions about bodies :D
as for what's easy....hm, i think i'm good at writing just...character analyses?? like observing the mundane and then gleaning some kind of revelation as a sort. that tends to be my bread and butter 😌
16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?
hmm, well i'm a heathen and i actually don't use bookmarks- i tend to remember page numbers well, but if i need a bookmark, i'll usually use an old receipt!
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.
HAHAHA that would be my thesis- okay so you know the history portion in mana's profile. yeah, so that's my thesis 🙃 i mean honestly...i do think that the relationship between her and her grandma is a LOT more complicated than the impression might give on here and the beauty about prose is that well....i get to explore that more :D it’s just not something that gets touched upon a lot in my tumblr writing, just as mana and calum’s romantic relationship isn’t nearly as prominent in my thesis as it is here...
basically, even if i’m using the same characters for writing both on and off tumblr, the subjects of history are pretty different so i don’t have to worry about getting bored of writing the same thing.
other things i wanna write tho....another drabble set for patrick in his main verse...oh! and maybe one between him and suki in the black knight verse- honestly, there’s SO MUCH i wanna write out for all of my characters, just haven’t had a lot of time to write RIP 😭
38. What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?
hmmmm well for people here, they wouldn’t think it’s weird, but the fact that i got into writing because of tumblr roleplay is considered strange among the other writers i know from my grad program....actually once i did write a short story about tumblr rp 😂, they found the concept to be absolutely fascinating and niche jsklfjslkdj but i guess i do find it strange how roleplay played such a huge part in well what i want to do in life overall so yeah FJSKFLJ
39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?
mmm, i’ve become so attached to some of my characters i honestly could never see myself completely abandoning them...this might not be the healthiest answer but honestly, writing in general is basically my addiction....i don’t feel right if i don’t do it for a long time ( so you can see how my hiatus was absolutely terrible...🙃 ) i guess obligation and love for my characters at this point?
