I was tagged by the lovely @gwens-fiction, thanks hon! 💖
1. Do you know your characters’ MBTI personalities?
Not generally, but when I get bored sometimes I’ll take the quiz for one of my characters--the only one I remember at the moment is León’s, and he’s an ISFJ-T 💖
2. Favorite writing trope?
Oh, I love just about every trope related to nuance and gray morality--evil virtues might be my all time fave!
3. Favorite genre?
Oh, probably fantasy! I mostly grew up with fantasy and it has a very special place in my heart 💖 Even my scifi stories are truly science fantasy lol
4. What would your characters be for Halloween?
León-- would dress up as a giant tax bill lol
Vicente-- honestly, either a playboy bunny or one of those black and white striped criminal outfits
5. Do you have a favorite of your OCs?
N-no, I’m a good mother who loves all her children equally (read: León)
6. Is your wip setting varied or one spot?
Varied! It’s set both along the US’s west coast (Portland, OR is the main spot) and throughout a few locations in the Philippines.
7. What genre is your wip?
My current main WIP, The People vs San Andres, is dark contemporary fiction--it also leans heavily into being a legal thriller!
8. What time of day do you do most of your writing?
Anytime I can fit it in tbh, but mostly in the evening/at night/abhorrently early in the morning! I find I’m most productive if I do chores/irl stuff/school stuff in the morning and early afternoon, and then when I’m done for the day I allow myself to write... I use my writing breaks (I’m bad about taking these, it’s kind of whatever) to study/get ahead on stuff for the next day
9. Favorite medium to write? (Computer, paper, etc)
On my computer, for sure! I like writing on paper to help get over blocks/plot issues, but otherwise my head goes too fast to keep up with--I have a fairly fast typing speed and it’s still hard to keep up, haha!
10. Your OC(s)’s favorite color?
León’s is a forest green! He likes earthy colors, for the most part.
11. How do you over come writer’s block?
I’m the worst about this, but I find switching projects helpful! I also like to switch to writing by hand, or rewriting the most recent scene to find out where my block is coming from.

Mosquitos and bees. He’s not deathly allergic, but he does have a bit of a worse reaction than most people.
18. What are your OC’s greatest fears? Weaknesses? Strengths?
He’s terrified of relapsing, he’s terrified of letting people and himself down, and he’s terrified of being abandoned (which is part of why he’s so solitary). He’s a bit arrogant, he’s self-sacrificing, and he can be kinda stupid, especially when he’s scared. But he’s brave, he’s strong, and he has a really kind heart.
