Day 88 with @the-wip-project: Have you ever reused characters?
Not unless you mean in the same universe.
Every character and side character in my original content has been original with their own quirks and intricacies. I've definitely written about the same characters in multiple works, though!
Day 87 with @the-wip-project: Have you ever reused scenes? Was it intentional or unintentional?
I feel like there are two types of reusing, and I've done them both.
First, there's the scene you love to write, so you either accidentally end up writing someone eerily similar or knowingly redo it in another work because you love it. There's nothing new under the sun, and tropes wouldn't exist without repetition.
Then there's the scene you intentionally reuse word for word and edit in the changes. Maybe it's a different fandom or novel, but that's the scene that works- so you do it.
Day 86 with @the-wip-project: What's your trick to control the chaos?
Control it? No. It controls me.
Commission I made for @marieforster20 ! Thanks again for commission with me!!❤

Day 85 with @the-wip-project:
Sketch out a story with a side-character as the main protagonist.
I'd love to talk about Ameena. She's my main character Solvi's aunt, and she plays a vital role in the story as the 'protector.' Her story could take place at any number of intersections, but I feel like a prequel would be best. Spoilers (and babbling) below the cut.
Day 84 with @the-wip-project:
What’s the favourite beginning of a story you have written?
My favourite beginning is hands down from a Fanfiction AU I wrote. Set during Mass Effect 2 if Saren survives ME1. Let's go to Purgatory, shall we?
Snippet under the cut!
Day 83 with @the-wip-project
Write the opening of a story with this title: Under A Lonely Star
--
She could feel the wind through her jacket that cold January night. It howled through the empty floors of the construction site above her like a pack of wolves chasing their dinner. Still, Aleena couldn't move just yet. The weight of her rifle and the cold press of steel against her cheek steadied her. When she breathed the air fogged around her mouth and dissipated into her hovel.
Soon. Soon her mark would be here. She only needed to be patient.
Day 82 with @the-wip-project
What is that great line that you can’t find a plot for?
I have a notepad on my phone where I keep all sorts of little lines I see or hear or dream up. Here is my favourite.
"I thought I had butterflies in my chest when I met her.... Nope, turns out my heart's f***ed."
Day 81 with @the-wip-project:
What have you learned on your writer journey that you wish you had learned earlier?
If there's one thing I wish I learned, it's the fact that sometimes you don't need to explain yourself. Literally, this line is a multi-million dollar production. If the pros don't need to have the answers to everything, neither do you!
Don't let a scene block you forever, change perspectives or skip a scene completely. Make it work for you.

How do you feel about your old works?
I love my older works, even if they make me cringe sometimes. I can see my growth as a writer and person through them. Some of my darker fics got me through tough times, and maybe I wouldn't be here without them.
And bonus homework: say something nice about past-writer-you.
Past me, you did good. You were never afraid of a challenge or afraid to write what you wanted to. I'm glad I can go back and read your stories.
Thanks for the questions, @the-wip-project

Day 78: Fanfic or original, which fandoms/genres do you like to write?
I have written for a few fandoms and have now been focusing my energy on original fiction. Generally, character-based romances are my favourite thing to write.
Day 76 with @the-wip-project
Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
This feels like a cop-out answer but- sometimes?
I flow through different moods when reading, everything from Science Fiction like Childhood's End and The Expanse to Historical fiction like Memoires of a Geisha or Wideacre. I tend to write romance because it's my comfort zone but, one day, I'd like to branch out and write a science fiction novel of my own. I just need the right idea.
Day 76 with @the-wip-project.
Describe what your character likes about the place they live, in their words.
This feels like a conversation Finn would have with Lyra. They would be laying in the damp grass and staring at the stars. To Finn, it's less about the place and more about the feelings home invokes.
"It's like any other farm, I suppose," Finn replied when Lyra asked him about home. "In summer there are fields of hay taller than you. The cattle roam through the hills nearby, and the horses rest under birch trees."
He closed his eyes and inhaled, remembering the smell of dew on his morning trudge to the barn. "The farmhouse stands in the middle of it all. Ma is always baking bread or making stew to feed the lot of us." He smiled. "Rolf eats like his leg is hollow."

Day 75: Do you write in past tense or present tense? Why do you prefer one?
I prefer to write in present tense but have a bad habit of mixing tenses (thank you Grammarly for catching me). I like the immediacy it gives my characters and since I like to write in chronological order, it works well for me.
Writer Permission Slip
Go as slowly as you need to in order to complete your writing project(s).
Prioritize other responsibilities if necessary. It’s okay.
Prioritize rest and self-care if necessary. It’s okay.
Re-write those 6k words you slaved over for weeks. It’s okay.
Slog through that boggy, swampy middle you always dread. It’s okay.
Writing fast is often glorified in the writing community. But some people just physically cannot do that for whatever reason. It’s perfectly okay to write slowly.
