2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?Music is kind of a must have for me--sometimes it’s very specific songs that feel relevant to a scene, but most times I default to EDM or chill lofi hip hop. Occasionally I go on classical music sprees. During writing I usually need the freedom to hop around and legit write whatever comes to mind--so if you’ve ever seen one of my WIP drafts...well, god bless you. Afterward, I can never immediately edit. I have to close the doc and not look at it for a while so as to avoid just going “THIS IS TERRIBLE DELETE EVERYTHING”.
3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?Ok...I’m a masochist and therefore a total slut for epics. I love me a long, multichapter, drawn out fic replete with: action, tremendous plot development; character struggles (emotional and physical), and romance. That shit is my jam. But also an intense mental and emotional effort and drain as a writer (putting aside the sheer amount of consistent effort and work needed to see a 50k+ word fic from start to finish, it can be incredibly crippling at times on my ego), so I can’t be writing epics all the time. That said, the works I am always the most proud of by and far and my big, multichapter epics/behemoths.
9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?*sucks in deep breath* Yes. And I am currently working on a first attempt at an original novel. Which amplifies all the issues I have while writing an epic times infinity. But I really want to do this, so I’m going to keep pushing myself
