WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO FOR INSPIRATION WHEN WRITING?

Music? Sometimes lyrics or just the general feel of a song will paint a picture in my head. So, mostly music, but also looking for images or GIFs can spark ideas, or going for a walk and just thinking.

WHICH CHARACTER DO YOU RELATE TO THE MOST?

They’re all parts of me, but... maybe Ben atm? Or Jesse??

FAVOURITE QUOTE BY YOUR CHARACTER?

"If your body is as flexible as your morals, I can see why people want to lay with you” - August @ Myriad lmao my sassy birb

A CHARACTER YOU WANT TO RAVE ABOUT?

Buddy I could literally rave about any one of my characters, especially my main 9 buT WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT BEN FOR A SECOND PLEASE OKAY YES HE WAS A TWAT BEFORE HE FELL AND HE WAS SO SELF-ASSURED AND HE THOUGHT A DEMON TRULY LOVED HIM SO HE FELL TO BE WITH HER BC SHE MADE HIM FEEL LIKE HE HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HER OR HIS FAMILY SO HE CHOSE HER BUT IT TURNS OUT SHE LIED TO HIM AND THEN LAUGHED IN HIS FACE AND LEFT HIM AND HE COULDN’T RETURN TO HEAVEN BC HE HAD WILLINGLY LEFT AND WAS CONSIDERED A TRAITOR BUT HE ALSO COULDN’T BE ACCEPTED INTO HELL BC HE WASN’T REALLY A DEMON THE ONLY PERSON WHO EVEN TOLERATED HIM WAS A YOUNG DEMON WHO DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION AND ENDED UP MAKING HIM FEEL WORSE BUT HE DIDN’T LASH OUT. HE DIDN’T TURN HIS MISERY ON ANYONE ELSE. HE REALIZED HOW FOOLISH AND ARROGANT HE HAD BEEN AND THE MISTAKES HE’D MADE AND HE DECIDED TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER HE GOT A JOB AS A TEACHER BC HE WANTED TO HELP KIDS. HE MADE SURE HE WAS NEVER AROUND ANYONE, NOT EVEN ANIMALS, WHEN HE LOST CONTROL OF HIS GRACE AND OBLITERATED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. HE PUTS UP WITH HIS TINY COLD APARTMENT AND HIS LACK OF GOOD PAY BC IT’S NOT ABOUT HIM IT’S ABOUT THE KIDS. AND HE’S SO SAD AND EMPTY BUT HE KEEPS GOING AND HE HELPS OTHER PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER HELPS HIMSELF. HE’S A DEPRESSED SPIRALING MESS AND LIFE NEVER STOPS KICKING HIM IN THE RIBS WHILE HE’S DOWN BUT HE TRIES HIS BEST TO LIFT OTHER PEOPLE UP For real though I’ve both intentionally and unintentionally taken away everything that has ever made Ben feel okay ever and I’m genuinely sorry oof it’s gonna be okay baby I promise

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR PROJECT NOW VERSUS WHEN IT WAS FIRST CRAFTED?

I felt kind of confidant at the start but now it’s like

DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN YOU WRITE? IF SO: NAME YOUR FAVOURITE SONG TO WRITE TOO.

Okay so I swing wildly between listening to music and eVERYTHING HAVING TO BE DEAD FUCKING SILENT FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO WRITE ANYTHING but most of the time I strike a compromise of listening to instrumental music while I write. I can’t listen to songs with lyrics bc otherwise I end up losing concentration and writing the lyrcis asdfghjkl so classical music or scores from movies are my go-to. These are the ones I listen to most

DO YOU USE VISUALS TO HELP WITH YOUR CONTENT CREATING?

Occasionally. If I’m scrolling Tumblr or Pinterest and an image or GIF reminds me of an OC or maybe something that could happen in the book, I’ll save it to their boards.

DO YOU HAVE ANY WRITING RITUALS? ( WRITING AT A SPECIFIC TIME? A SPECIFIC ROUTINE? )

buddy. pal. mate. I just sit down @3AM and brain vomit onto a word document. My first draft is my final draft. It’s either complete incoherent trash (probably like this is pfft) or it’s undiluted genius and there’s no in-between. I have no idea what sparks my inspiration or motivation. I go months without writing a word and then all of a sudden inspiration runs me over with a truck and I sit down and write and write and write and forget to eat or drink or generally get up until I”m about to black out and then I come to and remember through the haze of plot ideas and my characters yelling at each other that I’m an actual living person and not a vessel for a fickle inspiration god and my asshole brain children

DO YOU SHARE ANY COMMON INTERESTS WITH ANY OF YOUR CHARACTERS?

The only common trait they all seem to share is that they’re kind of assholes. I’m not sure what that says about me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PROJECTS ON YOUR MIND? WILL WE BE SEEING THEM ANYTIME SOON?

god bo I can’t even handle one. I do plan on writing some li’l drabbles for friends soon tho, hopefully that can help me shake my panic n writer’s block haha :)))
