1-10 for the ask writer's meme :) I love your work btw. <3
inspiration is a hard one for me. since my mind runs a mile a minute i have a lot of ideas floating around at any given time. i usually latch onto one and that eventually blooms into a fic. sometimes im inspired by pictures or songs as well, but as of late its mostly been my own brain going overdrive on thinking about ideas
2: one of your favorite comments/reviews on this chapter/verse?
its really hard to choose because when i get comments, theyre all so nice and i love them so so much!!!! i guess a lot of the comments on The Seven Gifts were sweet but its too hard to choose
uhh motivation is a... thing. i dont have a lot of it if im being honest. i tend to push myself to just do it so i guess my motivation is me yelling at myself to write. i’ll also be more responsible about writing if im writing something for someone else (like prompts, gifts, etc) because im excited to write for them and that makes me excited to write. then i tend to get into a groove of just writing
4: what time of the day/night do you like to write?
if im being real honest any time after midnight is my writing time. 1-2am is ideal though. idk why but i think because im less inhibited its easier for me to bang stuff out and then i can look back at it after sleep
5: do you write scenes in a linear fashion or do you write future scenes/dialogues sometimes?
im more a linear writer. it helps for me because if i write things out of order it will get confusing. however! if theres a line or something bugging in my head i’ll write it down or notes about a scene so i dont forget them.
6: hardest/easiest character to write for?
ooof well going lotr/hobbit-wise... since i mainly focus on bilbo and thorin, i would say those two are the easier ones. i also have an easy time writing bofur and a lot of the dwarves. since i rarely touch into elf territory a lot of the elves would be harder for me to write (like... i think i did ok with galadriel, tauriel is fun to write but im always iffy on if ive captured them right)
7: hardest/easiest verse to write for?
well the hobbit ‘verse in general is easy for me to write in. i’d say if its another fandom that ive only dipped my toes in, i might struggle to write for them because i need a lot content consumed to feel like i can properly write.
8: (if you have either or both) how do you manage time with writing, work, school etc.?
its more difficult for me to write during the semester times but i try to produce stuff on the occasion. my homework always comes first and i;ll try to work in a bit of time writing or editing. my job sometimes will be quiet enough that i can write like i did tonight!
9: what tv shows, books, or movies inspire for this verse, if any?
obviously the hobbit and lord of the rings! i draw from both the books and movies, but i think my canon tends more towards movie canon than book canon, obviously.
WRITE. write write write write. if you are lingering on an idea, write it out. it may not always be the best, most amazing thing you’ve written but i guarantee that it will be better than if its sitting in your head. and if its not good, who cares? you dont have to share everything you write out. i dont. some days my writing doesnt feel good at all. other days im scrambling to keep up with my muse as i go through pages of writing. you can only improve if you keep writing!
