What what what?? Somehow the other ask I answered got answered privately??? Sorry, @frustratedoctor!...

08:What’s the best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten?
Oooo. That’s really hard!!! I’ve been gifted with some incredibly thoughtful, detailed feedback over the years! I really honestly don’t think I can single out a best piece. I know that I’m happy any time a story had a deep emotional impact on people. The things that make my heart particularly sing are when people say that Sherlock in particular sounded very Sherlock-y or that particular romantic moments really got them. My all-time longest comment-leaver ever is my beloved @flannelsaurus, though. Amazingly detailed feedback, for which I’m forever grateful!
25:What advice would you give to young writers?
READ. Feed your brain good quality literature of a variety of styles! Less Danielle Steele/John Grisham (entertaining as that stuff is) and more classic literature. And boring as it is, grammar and punctuation are just so important. If your story isn’t spelled correctly, you instantly lose credibility. Read, read, read. :)
28:Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?
Hmmmm. It depends on the story!! Ok - I’ll just say that the middle is the most mysterious, lol, I essentially write mentally. I always know how something is going to start, how it’s going to end, and several of the major points between those two events. I can’t overplot, though - the story reveals itself in its own time, in its own way. So I suppose that makes my answer “the middle”. :)

The mirror of...
Sherlock finds the mirror of the erised and as he looks into it he sees John step up behind him.
"Oh, John, I was just-" he whirls around but John's not there.
(bonus)
The mirror of erised. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.
Oh :(
why you do that :<
Ow, my feels
Writing: 15, 21, 26?
15:What would you say has inspired you the most?
In… life? In this fandom? In writing, specifically? I’m not totally sure how to answer this one, lol! I would say that my specific drive to write Johnlock is just how much these two characters belong together, and I don’t seem to get tired of finding new ways for them to find their way together. I just need them to be together! And there are so, so many possibilities! :)
21:Do you outline?
No. Only in my head. Except with my novels (Against the Rest of the World and the original (ish) one I’m working on now), just because they’re so detailed and plot-heavy that I have to follow notes to make sure I don’t get lost in the “inspiration” of just writing and make sure that the events actually unfold in the correct order. Here’s what I really don’t do: change stuff after it’s written. I basically draft in my head and once it’s written, except for typos and small word changes or phrasing changes here and there, it’s final.
26:Which do you enjoy reading the most: physical, ebook, or both?
Physical books, absolutely, but when I went to Europe I couldn’t possibly take an armload of books with me, and I cannot be without books, so I bought a Kindle and read all of A Song of Ice & Fire while I was travelling. It was great, and now, even though I own physical versions of those books, I still read them on my Kindle because that’s how I first read them. :P

“#AllLivesMatter until Syrian refugees need help.” Meanwhile, today Scotland is showing the world how to do the opposite of America’s governors.
All of this. Plus I would disagree with the statement that conservatives (or anyone else) have the right to refuse refugees. If our countries have the space - and just speaking as a Canadian, I can say for a FACT that we do, indeed, have rather a lot of empty space - then I would say that we absolutely do NOT have the right to turn people away. As for affording to help refugees, someone on my fb feed just posted yesterday that the cost of taking in the 25,000 refugees that our new government is currently working on accepting by the end of the year would be the same as a single fighter jet of some sort. This is how much we spend on our military. And that’s CANADA, a country with a comparatively laughable military. We CAN afford this. And we have no right not to!
