My turn to ask for the writer thing! :) 5, 9 & 24 please!
5) character you were most surprised to end up writing
Oh geez, this is a hard one... I’m trying to wrack my brain and figure out anyone that I was surprised about but... I got nothin’. Maybe I should say instead that I was surprised I would ever go so far as to write smut for a character. *side eyes Ace*
9) what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?
I read. A lot. I started reading when I was in 1st grade (I was behind the class because apparently we were supposed to start in kindergarten) and I never stopped. I was at 7th grade level reading when I was in 3rd grade, which was apparently a big deal at the time. Most, if not all of my free time was spent reading while I was in school and playing video games outside of it, so I became enamored with world-building at an early age.
I think I was making stories for things before I even learned how to write... My first story ever was a picture book about my friend (Spotty the Snake was his name) saving the world from a evil serpent that ate the sun.
24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?
Oh god. Uh... I look up a lot of medical journals and psychological studies. Dunno about “expert” but now I know how long it takes the human body to recover from starvation and the steps you need to take to achieve that safely.
