Hi Azra! Out of interest, do you know what your Myer-Briggs personality type is? :)

If I remember correctly it’s ENFJ! Though it’s been a while since I did it :) x

Are you planning on developing your poetry? It would be cool to see you write about more things that aren't related to love, tbh it is getting a little tired and uninspired. Don't want your fans to tear me apart but I think you could do better. I think you

Well, saying “planning” like its something I’m deliberately doing is a bit untrue. I don’t write about love because I’m trying to be “tired” and “uninspired.” I write about love because at the moment, that’s all I know how to do. So maybe in a few years, I’ll be writing about other things. I genuinely hope that I will be. But I don’t mind writing about love. It underlies everything that I do. Until then, you don’t have to read my writing. I certainly won’t mind :)

Could you write a poem about loving a man who loves you back but also loves another girl? Who is with you both kinda?

This is my only piece remotely close: http://5000letters.tumblr.com/post/104778523942/how-to-break-this-to-you-gently-you-thought-he and if it doesn’t come through enough in that piece, I want to say again how toxic that situation is. Firsthand, I can tell you that it will end up making you feel insecure and unworthy and small. Try to get out of it as fast as you can.

How will this gentle brute learn to growl?

But why do you want to take something soft and give it a snarl? Let them curl in the palm of your hand and tremble there. Love them as they come and as they are. Being tender is always, always good.

Are you as "brave" and offensive in real life, as you are to the anons who question you? It's great that you stand up against bullshit, but you're pretty damn rude at the same time.

Oh, whatever. People don’t ask me stupid questions in real life.

hate on piper all you want, i still love her but i get why other people are against her now, but please don't say she looks like soggy lettuce and insult her appearance and shit like that. at that point you are also insulting the actress and taylor schilli

omg shut up, i didn’t say anything about how she looks. i meant that her personality is like a soggy lettuce, and i stand by that. piper chapman bores the living hell out of me, in fact, it feels like my brain dribbles out of my ears when she opens her mouth. now stop allocating random and untrue accusations to me and calm down.

I've been meaning to say: Your poetry is BEAUTIFUL. You have a gift for making heartbreak seem surmountable no matter how deep the cut seems... and for making me realize we always move on, but we choose whether we move on as better people or if we let the

This is wonderful! I’m so happy I was able to get this message through because I do genuinely believe that after a certain period of time, we choose to be heartbroken because we don’t want to give up their ghost. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this to me xxx

Favorite historical romances?

Oh my god how did you know??? I seriously have every single book written by Julia Quinn and that’s not an overstatement. My favourites by her are

The Secret Diary of Miss Miranda Cheevers and Minx. Lisa Kleypas does amazing historical romances, I love the Wallflower series especially The Devil in Winter and The Hathaways series,

especially the first two. And then I guess Eloisa James and Elizabeth Hoyt are also pretty decent HR writers!

"My name means wicked. Unholy.Ahab was my unholy. His tongue, my tongue. His flesh, my flesh.I was..."

“My name means wicked. Unholy.

Ahab was my unholy. His tongue, my tongue. His flesh, my flesh.

I was a woman in love.

They robbed me of Ahab’s breath. Then my sons.

I wasn’t thrown into the pit of dogs.

I dove.”
