8 people I’d like to know better tag

I was tagged by @theguildedtypewriter and @ramblingsofabourbondrinker, thank you both so much! 💖

ONE /  name / alias: I generally go by as Veronica, my real name, or Asch, my alias. I’ll answer to anything, though--people tend to mix up V names (ie. Victoria/Vanessa/Veronica--I’ve met a number of Veronicas who’ve had the same struggle) and it’s made me truly indifferent to what I’m called lol

TWO  /  birthday: January 25th

THREE  /  zodiac sign: Aquarius sun, Taurus moon, Aries rising 😘

FOUR / height: 5′4.5″

FIVE / hobbies: Writing, for sure, although at this point that’s also partially an ideal career and an obsession. But also reading, video games, and eating cooking!

SIX / favorite colors: Purples, teals/cyans/green-blues, and grays.

SEVEN / favourite books: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is my all-time favorite, and Nabokov’s The Defense is also one of my dear favorites, as are the First Law Trilogy & The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie. The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC by Joseph B McCormick and Susan Fischer-Hoch, and pretty much any other epidemiological book I’ve ever touched are also faves that I can never get enough of. 

EIGHT /  last song listened to: Funny Little Creatures by Nothing More

NINE / last film watched: I honestly don’t watch many movies, but the last one I watched beginning to end was Night School lmao

TEN / inspiration for muse: Everything. Absolutely everything. Nature / weather / mythology / music / other characters / real people / etc., I’m constantly refilling my well of inspiration.

ELEVEN / dream job: Full time author who can afford her mortgage? Yes. But I’m also very, very enthusiastic about the idea of working in the field of biodefense/biosecurity. 

TWELVE / meaning behind your URL: Asch is my pen-name, and I’ve always been--admittedly arbitrarily--drawn to including ink in my usernames, so I settled with aschenink sort of as a play on asch/ash. In hindsight I wish I’d just gone basic with aschwrites or something, but I’m way too deep into this to bother changing my url now, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apus, Musca, and Virgo for the constellation ask!

Apus -  What’s the hardest part about writing for you?

answered here! 

Musca - Do you like sharing your writing?

to some extent -- i like my writing to be at an appropriate stopping point before i let someone read it if it’s unfinished, so a chapter of a work i’ll share, but usually not a random clip. if i’m sharing incomplete work, i usually stick to fellow writers. y’all get me.

Virgo - Describe your favorite tropes.

i love that 5 + 1 trope and i’m not sorry about it. friends to lovers trope. and i don’t care if it’s overdone, i like antiheroes and evil empires. i think they are fun to write and read.
