I am so boring in that, as an adult, I’ve only ever written BTS fanfiction (as a teen I wrote MCR). But I’ve been rewatching Star Trek TOS and TNG, and dying to write in these worlds. The chances are that it’ll just end up making it a BTS story though…

I write a lot of character driven slice of life, so I’ll admit I haven’t gotten lost in much research. Right now I’m delving into lots of Irish folklore that I learned as a child, but am relearning for a story, and I’m finding it so fun and interesting, and far spookier than I remembered.

… like all of the things I’d told myself about my abilities and their limits were just negative self talk to stop myself from trying. I know people write 400k stories and this is a drop in the ocean but by my own standards 🤣

Oh that’s a nice question. I think this one because I have always had this belief in my head that I wasn’t capable of telling a long story. I always wanted to write a book but let this belief hold me back from trying, and it’s far from an epic but cracking something longer for me made me feel…

I think it’s when I get to the point of writing a new story where the struggle just falls away. It kind of feels like cracking into a coconut, it’s really tough for me for the first few hundred or even thousand words, and then the story breaks open and I’m in my element, and only stopping is hard.

I don’t know where I get ideas per se, but I feel way more excited to write and my ideas come easier when I’m reading lots and lots of really excellent books and stories. Sometimes if I bury myself *too* much in fanfic I need a break to read something totally different and my inspiration comes back

26. Yes and no. I write for a living so I’ve gotten used to sort of going into my own world for work when needs must, but I need music I can zone out to. When I get the right music it’s like everyone around me disappears 😂
