Writer Interview Tag

I was tagged by @maxwrite

1) What made you start writing for the first time? lol, the first first time? When I was an akward teenager, I decided I needed to write to impress a girl (which is hilarious because I was a section leader in band and the resident school artist, so if she wasn't impressed, I have NO IDEA how the heck my awkward Guns N Roses slash was gonna do the trick, but anyway...) but I hadn't really thought to get my ridiculously active imagination down on paper until my mid twenties. It's ironic, because the girl I'd tried so hard to woo with my writings is long gone from my life, but the girl who got me to give writing another shot is sitting next to me in bed answering this same set of questions. :)

The first time that counts? I'd lost my damned mind and decided to move from my cradle in warm, crowded, metropolitan Southern California to the literal middle of nowhere in what basically amounted to a tiny forest about an hour's drive from the White House. There was no running water, one working outlet, and the only internet to be had was in the (unoccupied) house next door, which meant running three phone lines attached with phone line couplers across about a half football field's worth of "yard" (aka tiny forest). I was BORED as FUCK and needed something to do, because we could only get two channels every forth blue moon, and the nearest entertainment (besides my precariously interneted computer) was in a different town. I wrote my first longfic in that house, and about five more short pieces, and from there on I was hooked.

2) If you could only write about the ocean, the forest, or the desert for the rest of your life, which one would you pick? ...uhhhhh I don't know because I kinda hate nature so everything I write tends to take place INDOORS BECAUSE WHO CARES ABOUT OUTSIDE

3) Would you ever write a memoir? girl bye

4) Do you like writing by hand, or writing with a computer? Both! I also hate both. See, the thing is, I hate writing with a vicious passion. But I'm FUCKING ADDICTED so I do it anyway. I love fountain pens and smooth paper, I love the way the ink pools in places and shimmers and dances. But I can't stand crossing shit out and having to type it in later, or smearing the damned wet ink, or dropping my book in my coffee and ruining half of what I said. I love typing noises and easy editing and copypastaing bits of work. But I can't stand the impersonal way some fonts look, no matter how cute they were when I downloaded them, and I hate the blinking cursor when it mocks me. So, yeah, I hate them both.

5) Would you rather be popular among many readers, or unpopular, but loved by critics? lol I write fanfic the readers ARE the critics

6) Do you listen to music while you write? What is the best writing music? Sometimes I listen to music. Sometimes I curate playlists full of pop and rock and country and r&b because the lyrics have particular meaning. Sometimes I listen to super long meditation videos on YouTube just to have some soothing, mindless noise in the background. Sometimes I listen to curated lists of alpha and theta wave music, in the hopes that some hippie dippy new age crystal bs will make its way through my brain fog long enough to get a word down. Sometimes I listen to a white noise app just to drown the world out. Sometimes I listen to other noise apps that have rain sounds, for the same reasons. And sometimes I use a word processor that has typing sounds so I can listen to the click clack of productivity. Ahhhh, so satisfying...

7) Do people you’ve met find their way into your writing? Not on purpose.... 

 Tagging: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... anybody who wants to do it, lol
