Writerly Questionnaire

Thank you @the-golden-comet @drchenquill and @paeliae-occasionally for the tag♡

About Me

When did you first start writing ?

I first started writing in 5th grade. I had this chapter in English course book about a timid girl who learned to write stories with the help of her English teacher. Also, i was so much into fanfictions at theat time so i thought it would be a great idea to start novels.

Are the genres/themes you enjoy reading different from the ones you write?

I enjoy writing mystery, crime / psychological thriller, political Intrigue and historical , fantasy types writing but i enjoy reading cozy fantasy, mystery and crime thriller.

Is there an author (or just a fellow writer!) you want to emulate, or one to whom you're often compared?

Nope. Not really. I take inspiration from various sources but i never felt anything like this nor did anyone ever compared me to one.

Can you tell me a little about your writing space(s)? (Room, coffee shop, desk, etc.)

Mostly it is my bed, i do best when i am in my comfort space. Because i can't write anywhere else without being criticized for being "too much on my phone"

What's your most effective way to muster up some muse?

Idk honestly. I just look at things, random things at that and i get flooded with ideas. I just looked at a pen once an i got the idea. I also watch music videos of my favourite froups and get ideas. I watched the ODDINARY trailer of stray kids and i got a story idea which i am currently trying to write. I'm the worst person to ask this question.

Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and places you write about?

No. My writing life is pretty different from the way i live because of the need to be separated from reality. And i hate where i live so it wouldn't do me much favour.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing, and if so, do they surprise you at all?

Yep. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, queer people, mystery, slice of life, fantasy, romcom and i turn everything gay because of the ✨spice✨ i feel in it. Sometimes it does surprise me because i originally started as only mystery and crime thriller writer. Slowly i evolved. And i never saw myself writing queer romance. But i am still learning and i will not give up trying my best.

My Characters

Would you please tell me about your current favorite character? (Current WIP, past WIP, never used, etc.)

This will get too long. My current favourite character is Dante from Beyond The Pages. Because i surprisingly found myself attracted to unhinged villain with no redemption but just an attractive smile, fashionista outfits and screw loose. My current WIP is Shades Of Erudition . Which i love dearly idk why i just got the idea. And I'm beginning to love Asterion too.

Which of your characters do you think you'd be friends with in real life?

Vesperine said Cleo for sure. Because i like their sense of humor and Cleo would probably let me in their friend circle. I hope so. And also probably Maurine because of her love for books. I'd probably sit for hours and hours at her house, her husband, however, would kick me out for taking too much of her time and giving him none.

Which of your characters would you dislike the most if you met them?

.... Dante probably also Dr. Anselm Ravenscroft and his puppy creation, Acheron. All the characters form Wicked Game, Wicked Fates . And more that i can't think of.

Tell me about the process of coming up with of one, all, or any of your characters.

This is... a very difficult question... haha...

Ok so sometimes i get the idea of the story forat and sometimes i get the characters first.

In the case of getting idea first, the character build is not hard to decide. I make up scenarios in my head and imagine stuff while listening to music that matched my story and i automatically get the idea.

But in the case of getting the character idea first.... it is freaking difficult because i only get the design idea and dialogues, but not the personality traits. So i spend days and weeks thinking of a story that would match my character so i can develop the character more. Some of my characters with no story are still waiting and I'm feeling guilty.

Do you notice any recurring themes/traits among your characters?

Probably it is intelligent/cunning bastard x strong sweetheart. I don't remember much maybe someone could remind me.. haha...

How do you picture them? (As real people you imagined, as models/actors who exist in real life, as imaginary artwork, as artwork you made or commissioned, anime style, etc

I imagine them as real people of course. Sometimes I'm so obsessed with it that i make a list of possible actors i want to play my characters. And i also imagine them as random people and artworks on pinterest too.

My Writing

What's your reason for writing?

Self enjoyment and the comments i get from people who take time to read my works. It makes me ecstatic. ♡♡♡

Is there a specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating coming from your readers?

Not specific. I find every comment really uplifting because it means that they read the whole thing. They read it and wrote, they took time for me. Because nowadays time is very precious and quite fast and nobody would want to spend it by reading some unknown person's probably worthless works. ♡♡♡

How do you want to be thought of by those who read your work? (For example: as a literary genius, or as a writer who "gets" the human condition; as a talented worldbuilder, as a role model, etc.)

I don't want much i just want to be thought as someone with great ideas and writing style. I hope i had a good fandom where people post about on Pinterests and Tumblr and people make tiktoks of my book in the future. Basically i want to be remembered. And loved.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

I feel very embarrassed to say this but i think it is my ideas and my ability to finally try and write different genres. And the fact that i don't give up.

What have you been frequently told your greatest writing strength is by others?

I think it is that i manage writing different types of genre. It was truly mesmerizing when drchenquill said that to me honestly because i always felt like i couldn't write any other genre than mystery, crime thriller and historical fiction. I feared trying out other genres too. And another one of my friends told me that the more ideas i get, the better it gets from the previous ones.

How do you feel about your own writing? (Answer in whatever way you interpret this question.)

I think that i have improved a lot since before but i have a lot to improve. I want to write beautifully, with prose and beautiful lines, i know it is not easy, like Erin Morgenstern, but like i said, like my ideas are evolving, my writing style will too.

If you were the last person on earth and knew your writing would never be read by another human, would you still write?

I would still write. With not so much enthusiasm as before because i really enjoy talking about my stories with others but i would still write because i started as someone with zero readers and i didn't stop there.

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely what you enjoy? If it's a mix of the two, which holds the most influence?

I am influenced by both. But to me, my enjoyment holds the most value. Because if i don't enjoy what i write, nobody would enjoy it either. There are many ideas of mine that i love a lot but many of my friends do not like it but i still enjoy writing them because the feeling that i get when i get the whole idea, the ecstasy, it is so exciting and addicting that it becomes my hyperfixation for weeks.

I'll tag @cssnder @finickyfelix @willtheweaver @ascotwriting @agirlandherquill @leahnardo-da-veggie @illarian-rambling @winglesswriter @paeliae-occasionally @the-golden-comet @graveyardshift111 and this is an open tag.

[thatbitchkayla31]

I need people to send me either unhinged messages to my muses asking questions or just to me asking questions about my muses because sometimes you just need unhinged asks in your ask box and there doesn't need to be a reason for it.

---

you are sat on the last train, reading a book you’ve read six times and listening to cigarettes after sex with your headphones on. how unhinged must you be to find comfort in norwegian wood by haruki murakami to read it for the second time this month? well, that’s a conversation for another time.

you bathe in the tranquility that enveloped you. it’s nice to live in moments like this. it’s so nice you can cry. ever since you were a child, your family has instilled in you that you must dream big. and that you did. there is no other choice but to do so. of course, just like many other people, you dream of a high paying job. you want to move to a big city overseas (mostly to run away from every single person in this country who unfortunately knows that you exist). you want a big space you can decorate according to your taste and style. you want a car you can drive around whenever you just feel like it. they sound simple, but not as simple to achieve. not when you came from where you were from. it’s exhausting to think about the future. hell, it makes you fucking sick to your stomach. the number of times you’ve been asked the question ‘where do you see yourself five or ten years from now?’ and the first image that came into mind was you dying of hypothermia under a bridge. you shiver at the thought.

and so, in your free time, you genuinely enjoy doing stupidly domestic things. you find fascination in the most trivial things. you yearn to discover the little wonders of life. you ride the last train and read your depressing little book and listen to your hopeless songs. you put aside your responsibility to live fiercely for a little while. during these times, you find yourself thinking about how small you truly are. there are seven billion people in the world. there are about a hundred billion planets in the milky way. for the love of god, 1.3 million earths can fit in the sun. and then you arrive to the conclusion that your problems in life are really fucking stupid. your worries get alleviated for a short while. i mean, if you just forget that there are, once again, seven billion people in this godforsaken planet you are stuck in and that human beings can be such monsters.

you don’t even realize you’ve been spacing out until the train doors open and a man takes a seat right in front of you. jesus christ. a beautiful, gorgeous, stunning? man. he has you captivated right away. you’re quite sure you have never seen a person this damn attractive. he is in all black oversized outfit, his black chunky boots also catching your attention. what are the lengths i would go to just to steal those shoes?

he is in a small bun but some strands of hair still dangle over his wide doe eyes, his pink lips slightly open as he is eating ice cream held by his tattooed hand, a letter on each knuckles, a few other symbols, and a heart; the sleeve of his hoodie slightly sliding down giving you a peak of more ink adorning his arm, and the other casually scrolling through his phone.

he seems to be highly engrossed in whatever conversation he is having. his eyebrows slightly furrow, lips tightly pursing occasionally showing his dimple. despite having read countless of books, right at this moment, you can’t think of any word that would do him justice. dear god, you took your time on him, didn’t you? what a lucky, gifted man.

then it registers that you’ve been unabashedly checking him out ever since he stepped in the train. you quickly bring back your attention to your book, eyes scanning over the familiar words but barely registering anything that’s happening. wait, naoko wrote toru a letter, right? why the fuck does he have a bottled firefly right now? you don’t know how to act around attractive people and it shows. for the next few minutes, you casually look up to him every now and then. he already reached the tip of the cone. at some point he takes out an ipad from his, you guessed it, black backpack, and started drawing using a digital pen. it appears he likes using colors a lot in his art, which you find endearing. a gifted man, indeed. he gets off the train on the next stop.

 ~*~

two nights later, here you two are again. facing each other as you read a murakami book. something you haven’t read yet this time. yes, you are still listening to cigarettes after sex. sue me!

he’s wearing a white shirt tucked in his ripped denim jeans, revealing his small waist, and black button up long sleeves rolled up until below his elbow. the phrases ‘rather be dead than cool’ and ‘make hay while the sun shines’ tattooed on his skin, crossed across each other, connected by the letter ��t’. below them is a skeleton rock hand sign. other ones you can figure out are the g clef, an eye with red pupil, and a tiger flower (?). you are pretty sure your eyes are practically gleaming with admiration as you look at them, having been wanting to get some yourself but never having the courage to go through the process all alone. you desperately want them in places that usually hurt the most and well . . .

he’s drawing again, legs crossed with his slightly tilted up ipad resting on his bare knee. you don’t miss the lollipop poking out of his cheek, the white stick between his pretty pink lips. it looks like he gets lost in his own little world when working on something, uncaring of everything else. he tucks his hair behind his ear, and you finally notice his multiple piercings. holy fucking shit. i can cry right now. dear god, what exactly did you pour in this man to be this awesome? do i want to be him or kiss him? you shake your head in attempt to shoo away your thoughts. this is embarrassing, even for you. you go back to reading your silly little book, unaware of the dark brown eyes now looking at you. his eyes crinkle with a bunny smile, before returning to his own work.

 ~*~

you’ve been on the last train four nights in a row, pathetically waiting for the boy that’s been plaguing your mind for the past week. he never showed up. you grew sadder each train ride. is that it? am i never gonna see him again? maybe i should’ve talked to him. but then again, i don’t trust myself to function as a normal person in front of someone clearly sculpted and handcrafted by the greek gods themselves. another public transportation crush you will never cross paths with again. you sigh exasperatedly, flicking through the pages of the book you haven’t finished reading yet. i can’t believe this! waiting hopelessly. five nights. for a man. what have you become? you’re better than this . . . right?

wrong.

the train doors open to reveal the person you’ve been looking forward to seeing again. he takes the usual spot in front of you, a half-eaten bar of snickers held by his tattooed hand. he looks dashing, as usual. it pisses you off how you’re not pissed off anymore. he clearly maintains a dark persona, but he exudes a comforting energy. maybe that’s just you. he’s on his phone again, smiling to himself as he types. he has such a pretty and adorable smile. okay, i would really like to kiss him. you bite your lip to stop smiling yourself.

and then it happens. he suddenly looks up from his phone and makes eye contact with you. your eyes widen in surprise. you swiftly look down on your book after you decided it’s best to just act oblivious, but the universe isn’t exactly on your side. your headphones make impact with the floor, the sound startling you. the few passengers even turn their heads towards you. oh my fucking god, why? why me? can the ground please just swallow me whole and k!ll me? you close your eyes shut. maybe if i close my eyes, it will turn out that this is just a stupid dream.

but his adorable laugh makes you open them again. your dumb ass just has to see how pretty he looks when he laughs. if only you were in a whole different situation, one that doesn’t involve embarrassment that makes you want to end it all, you would laugh along with him. but you only muster a shy smile as you scratch at the back of your head. you look down at your headphones awkwardly, reaching down to pick them up but he beat you to it. with a sly grin, he wears them and sits next to you. you can practically hear your heartbeat. fuck, it might just jump out of your chest. he smells really good. not too overwhelming, like the ones that make your nose itch. it’s sweet and intoxicating. vanilla? it definitely suits him. it makes you swoon.

“wow, i love this song.” he says enthusiastically, a smile still on his lips. it’s your first time hearing his voice. it’s like dripping with honey. he sounds warm and bright. sounds like someone you wouldn’t mind listening to for the rest of your life. “apocalypse by cigarettes after sex, if i’m not mistaken. am i?” he asks, taking off your headphones.

you shake your head with a light laugh. “you’re right,”

“do you listen to them a lot?”

“well, yeah.” you answer sheepishly. “i think they’re perfect to listen to when i’m reading. their music is calming and intimate.”

your breath hitches when he brings the headphones around your neck. “i agree. takes you on a whole another dimension. it’s awesome,” the nerve of this man to talk so damn casually as if he’s not making butterflies erupt in your stomach. seeing his face up close makes you realize he’s even more beautiful than you initially thought. and you thought he was handcrafted by the greek gods. . . maybe he is a greek god?!

“i’m jungkook, by the way. jeon jungkook,”

 okay, perhaps not. i read way too much.

 ~*~

you look up and take in the afterglow of your boyfriend, still in daze from the incredible sex you had. the moonlight makes his eyes sparkle, and you thank yourself for your obsession with having to see the night sky every night that you had to make sure your window has a view of it. you are laying on his chest, ear over his pounding heart. it still makes you feel giddy, knowing you have the same effect on him as he has on you. it’s been almost a year since he sat in front of you at the train, eight months since you started to officially date. to this day, he still teases you about being whipped for him from that very first night. of course, you both know he’s right. you were pretty straightforward about your feelings, never kept it a secret. but that doesn’t mean you will surrender to his relentless attempts of making you confess how you shamelessly drank him in.

jungkook makes you happy, that’s for sure, though. that, you have no problem letting him know. he’s the best thing to ever happen to you, in a very long time. he loves drawing you and claims you as his muse. he loves washing your hair. he is constantly trying out new dishes to satisfy your picky but demanding taste buds. he picks up the books you leave scattered all over his place and yours because one time you tripped over one of them and he thought you died. he broke down three months ago and built you a shelf. he sits through your horror film choices that he always end up liking. he sings you to sleep.

but also, he’s one of the most stubborn person you’ve ever met. he teases you a lot. he used to tickle you, until you accidentally kicked his nuts trying to get away. he hogs most of the space of the bed. his alarm makes you want to lose your sense of hearing. he, in his all black outfits, never shuts up about the heat in the summer. he takes longer to do his hair. he spends a lot of time at the gym and he’s gotten even bigger. it’s infuriating. it’s infuriating how easily you give into him.

moving on. . . before, you settled with making yourself feel small in order to give yourself a reason to escape. claiming that nothing matters, when the truth is, it all meant so much to you they were destroying you. but jungkook. oh, jungkook. he makes you feel like you are his world. with him by your side, you are invincible. it doesn’t mean the world can no longer hurt you, but you’re not scared to get hurt anymore. except at times, it gets terrifying. the intensity of emotions he makes you feel is terrifying. you trust him, though. after all, he made you embrace all aspects of life, the good and the bad. he made you embrace yourself, the pretty and the ugly. maybe being human isn’t all that bad.

 ~*~

jungkook looks down at the woman that had him utterly enamored since the moment he laid his eyes on her. a fact he’s been covering by turning the tables on you. you were just so cute and pretty, reading books one of his best friends also loves, with your headphones blasting his favorite songs. and right now, you look absolutely divine. hair blown out on your naked back, lips swollen from all the biting and kissing, eyes glassy and drooping from tiredness and bliss. he wants to capture this image of your skin shining from the moonlight, so he can draw every single detail later on. but you’re way too comfortable on top of him, he feels bad about disturbing you. he smiles softly, stroking your cheek with his thumb, the other at your hair. you just don’t know how strikingly gorgeous you are. the more he learned about you, the deeper you reeled him in. he is whipped. you make him smile. all the time. his cheeks always hurt and at some point, he started to worry about wrinkles.

“jungkook?”

“hmmm?” he hums, planting a kiss on your forehead.

“you are so-“

he cuts you off. “pretty?”

“can you stop finishing my sentences for me?” you whine, hitting his toned chest. if anything, you probably only hurt your palm.

“but, baby, that’s what true couples do!”

 “are you calling our relationship fake, jeon jungkook?”

his wince makes your victory known. “of course not, baby. we’re the realest as real gets.” that don’t even make sense in your head, so you just mutter an ‘okay’ since you’re too beat to argue with your pretty, stupid boyfriend. oh, i am beat, alright.

“are you sleepy?” he asks a moment later.

 “very,” you yawn, another thing he finds so cute. “after what you did to me? very sleepy,”

he laughs loudly at your remark, making you giggle, too. “you liked all the things i did though,”

“yeah, i loved them a lot.”

he wraps his arm around your waist with his hand still holding your face. he traces your eyebrows, down to the bridge of your nose, and then your lips. your lips, sweeter than anything he has ever tasted, and he is addicted. his gentle touches send shivers down your spine. you close your eyes to savor the solace you find in his acts of affection.

“your lips, my lips,” he sings softly, bringing himself closer to you. his teeth tugs at your bottom lip before swiping his tongue over it, then finally kissing you properly. he let his lips linger, and quite frankly, he doesn’t ever want to pull away. “apocalypse,”
