Writer Questions Tag!

1. Which new genre would you like to try and write?

I don’t think there’s much I haven’t tried, except for straight up detective/crime fiction, but I’m planning a new adult Sherlock retelling series soon! Anyone up for that?

2. What’s your favourite writing tool?

ma laptop

3. How do you explore your characters? (eg. drawing them, moodboards, casting)

Ooooh moodboards all the way. Also, playlists of songs that remind me of them or my story are a given.

4. What is a popular writing advice that you disagree with and don’t follow?

I never follow writing “advice” sorry. The term itself is kind of laughable, as the whole point of writing is to bring something new and original that comes straight out of your SOUL.

5. What is your least favourite trope?

Is it possible to have a ‘favorite’ trope? I avoid all of them like the plague (and you should too)

6. What’s the one thing that you need if you have to start writing? (eg.a favourite pen, chocolate.etc. Exclude things like laptop, mobile, inspiration, ideas.)

My laptop. Most of the time, I need my notes in order to write (as I outline and plot extensively) and also, my bear to keep me company.

7. Which is your guilty pleasure trope / cliche?

Again, I don’t do tropes or cliches. Sorry. 

8. Which would you prefer? Self-published or traditionally published?

100% self published. Hands down. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s been a dreeeeeeam.

9. What ambience motivates you to write?

Night.

10. What is the one thing you would never write about?

Horror.

11. What is your favorite piece of fiction?

The classics

12. If you could live the life of any author, who would it be?

The ones I can think about had prettttyyy horrible lives, so no thank you.

13. Pantser or Planner?

Complete and utter planner.

14. What is the most helpful bit of writing advice you have received?

Read.

15. How does politics work in your WIP?

My WIP is a Robin Hood story, so politics are a big part of it. I’m using it as a parable for a modern political situation I feel very strongly about and that isn’t much different from the opporession that was going on in Robin’s England. It’s sad, but very close to my heart. It’s one of the reasons I’m writing this book, and I really hope it resonates with at least one reader (hopefully more).

16. Favorite fantasy creature?

Mermaids.

17. Would you rather spend all day writing in silence or reading with music?

Writing. There will be no silence then, because the characters will be talking.

18. Do you leave feedback on other’s works?

Always. My inbox is open ;)
