#I think it makes sense that ITW takes up as much room as it does because it's so expository

[rookflower]

ok yeah I finished the graphic novel and while I agree there's some pacing issues in here (starting around once they go to fight brokenstar) honestly they did such a fantastic job with what they had. I think basically all of my issues are with the original series or the inevitable pains of adaptation/presumed series mandates and limited page count

[kbetolks]

01: When did you first start writing?

Around mid-2012 and by accident. Had a super crazy dream that I wrote down in the morning after, and after that it became a fic.

02: What was your favorite book growing up?

Don't really think I had one. I can only name Redações Perigosas II.

03: Are you an avid reader?

Yeah. Not so much for the past years because I also write quite a bunch and can't do both.

04: Have you ever thrown a book across the room?

No. Why would I damage my stuff?

05: Did you take writing courses in school/college?

Nah.

06: Have you read any writing-advice books?

Not books, but I'm always reading articles and stuff.

07: Have you ever been part of a critique group?

Not really? I do critique everything I read.

08: What’s the best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten?

Can't think of any.

09: What’s the worst piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten?

Rewrite something from the scratch after a rough draft. Are you fucking kidding me?

10: What’s your biggest writer pet-peeve?

Find out I’ve skipped words even after two fucking revisions.

11: What’s your favorite book cover?

Don't really have any.

12: Who is your favorite author?

Don't really have any.

13: What’s your favorite writing quote?

"Stop worrying about editing or finding the perfect word, and just get to the end." — Gennifer Albin

14: What’s your favorite writing blog?

referenceforwriters is a good one.

15: What would you say has inspired you the most?

To write in general? The support I had at the beginning. I wouldn't even have considered it otherwise.

16: How do you feel about movies based on books?

Always watch the film before reading the book to avoid disappointment.

17: Would you like your books to be turned into TV shows, movies, video games, or none?

*giggles*

18: How do you feel about love triangles?

99,99% they're not even triangles! Unless all three are interested in all three, it doesn't really add much. (But in the traditional sense, I don't really like them.)

19: Do you prefer writing on a computer or longhand?

Does anyone write anything by hand these days?

20: What’s your favorite writing program?

Don't really have one? Give me a complete editor and I'm fine.

21: Do you outline?

Depending on the story. Have been doing it a lot more the past years. Probably because I'm writing longer stuff.

22: Do you start with characters or plot?

Plot. For the most part. I mean, I always know who I want to play what.

23: What’s your favorite & least favorite part of making characters?

Making them 3D. The least favourite is searching names.

24: What’s your favorite & least favorite part of plotting?

Getting all the stuff I need there. The leat favourite is certainly that I have to write said plot later.

25: What advice would you give to young writers?

Keep on writing. You can't get better if you don't practise.

26: Which do you enjoy reading the most: physical, ebook, or both?

I mostly read fanfiction these days, so... ebook?

27: Which is your favorite genre to write?

Finishing something.

28: Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?

The middle, I suppose. You always know where you wanna go and where you come from.

29: Which do you find easiest: writing or editing?

Editing because it's faster.

30: Have you ever written fan-fiction?

Have I written anything else?

31: Have you ever been published?

Nope.

32: How do you feel about friends and close relatives reading your work?

Can we not? Only one IRL has possibly read any of my works.

33: Are you interested in having your work published?

I guess so? It's just complicated when you don't write in your own language.

34: Describe your writing space.

A computer, a chair, music on, and a bottle of water.

35: What’s your favorite time of day for writing?

When the sun is out. I tend to write a LOT of gibberish at night. It's like my brain stops working.

36: Do you listen to music when you write?

Always. Silence is too disturbing.

37: What’s your oldest WIP?

A Flones sequel to ItWS. It's like from the end of 2013? (And here I thought it was the Private Eye Pudd.)

38: What’s your current WIP?

(How nice would be to have ONE WIP.) There's the dating show, the alien, the witness protection, the dequel to DF, and the adaptation ones. All Ziam.

39: What’s the weirdest story idea you’ve ever had?

Probably the one with Zayn clones.

40: Which is your favorite original character, and why?

Probably Aunt Geo or Nan Fletcher. I love to have cheeky old ladies with big hearts around!

41: What do you do when characters don’t follow the outline?

Follow them instead.

42: Do you enjoy making your characters suffer?

Never. Probably why I don't really write angst or anything heavier.

43: Have you ever killed a main character?

*sweats profusely* A few times.

44: What’s the weirdest character concept you’ve ever come up with?

Probably the fanged bird from TA or any of the enemies from DF.

45: What’s your favorite character name?

In general? Not sure I get this one.

46: Describe your perfect writing space.

A computer, nice temperature, snacks and juice, soft music playing.

47: If you could steal one character from another author and make then yours, who would it be and why?

Derek Hale. Because JD honestly didn't deserve him. A great character always tortured and sub-utilised.

48: If you could write the next book of any series, which one would it be, and what would you make the book about?

Bridget Jones, I guess? And I'd need something less straight. Make it gayer.

49: If you could write a collaboration with another author, who would it be and what would you write about?

I don't think I'd be up for that?

50: If you could live in any fictional world, which would it be?

The Pokémon world, maybe?
