I'm asking another one because I love you. 11!

11: what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

OOOH i’d say dialogue but it did not happen consciously. it’s absolutely my favorite thing to write.

i’m working on getting better at plot!!!! i’m terrible at plot. there’s a reason i write in vignettes.

3 and 5!!!

HI CLAUDIA I LOVE YOU

3: what order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?

ooh usually i am a staunch beginning-to-end linear writer but i’ve been breaking that rule so much with ben and teddy because the timeline is a little less linear and i’ve been trying to just write what i’m most excited about. it helps me write faster but also there will be a lot of continuity errors to fix in the editing stage

5: character you were most surprised to end up writing

this is a really interesting question?? i guess like. ben’s mom (eva!!!!!) has always been a lesbian and in modern aus he has two moms (eva and muirne!!!!!!) but i just decided like a week ago that screw it!!! ben has two moms in canon. so i guess i’m not like. SURPRISED, i’m just really happy that i get to write about lesbian moms in the 1930s.
