This or That

Writers' Edition

Tagged by @did-i-do-this-write. Thank you for including me!!

1. Historical or Futuristic?

Dystopian future is my go to, but historical vampire horror/romances are also good. If I had to pick, probably futuristic.

2. The Opening or the Closing of a chapter?

I always struggle with beginnings. Closings are more my strong suit. I'm way better at closings and ending with a something strong to foreshadow for something later on in the story or have a hook for the next chapter.

3. Light & Fluffy or Dark & Gritty?

I love Light & Fluffy, but I'm better at writing Dark & Gritty sadly.

4. Animal Companion or Found Family?

I've been writing Found Family since before I had the words to describe it. I'm team Found Family all the way!

5. Horror or Romance?

Why not a bit of both? I guess if I had to choose, I'd say Romance.

6. Hard or Soft Magic System?

Well, in my current WIP, ALW, the way that the magic works is that it flows through the planet—it's in all things. Of course there are certain people who weild magic but most just kind of live with the magic in them not using it but letting it influence them when it needs to (healing, slowing their aging, causing things to be luminescent). So, idk you tell me if this is a Hard or a Soft Magic System?

7. Standalone or Series?

I'm definitely more of a series writer (if I could get that far). As I'm writing chapter one for a book, I'm already thinking about a small detail that plays out later in the series lol. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good cliffhanger.

8. One Project at a Time or Always Juggling 2+?

Most of the time I'm switching between WIPs, but that just makes me lose focus on all of them and I end up abandoning them. Right now, I'm hyperfocused on ALW, refusing to even think about starting a new WIP, and this has caused me to write a lot more a lot faster. One Project at a Time is definitely working out better for me personally.

9. Fantasy or Sci-fi?

I'm a big fan of Sci-fi shows, but I love writing Fantasy. Fantasy is more boundless and fun for me.

10. Character or Setting Description?

Setting 100%. When I do Character Descriptions I feel like I'm infodumping, it doesn't feel fluid. When I do Setting Description I can go about it a lot slower and cut it up more which makes it feel smoother to me.

11. First or Final Draft?

For me, First Draft! By the Final there's not much actual writing left to be done. I enjoy the newness of the First and the endless possibilities! I like writing the First Draft and seeing what my character throw at me.

12. Literary or "Commercial" Genre?

(Tbh, I felt like I bad writer for having to look this up.) The description that I found and loved for this is that Literary is art and Commercial is more for enjoyment of the ride. And honestly, my writing is just a dumpster fire meant for my own enjoyment, so commercial. 😂

13. Love Triangle in Everything or No Romantic Arcs?

Do you mean Love Triangle (all three persons wanting each other but having to choose) or do you actually mean Love Corner (Charaters B and C both wanting to win over Character A)? Either way, if these are my only choices, I choose No Romantic Arc. I hate Love Corners/Triangles. I prefer A&B falling for each other in a very slow burn, angsty way or getting together quickly and being spoon-fed fluff.

14. Constant Sandstorm or Rainstorm?

Rainstorm all the way. I love the rain! That may or may not having to do with my being allergic to the sun. Also, I'm afraid of thunder and lightening, so??? Still, love the rain though.
