14. do you ever mark/dog ear books you own?

never!!!!!! Any type of wrinkled paper is a HUGE pet peeve of mine, but creases on the books I spent my money on wound my soul on a whole other level. 

15. recommend and review a book.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab: 4/5. This book is amazing, and the later books in the series are even better!! The worldbuilding is freaking awesome, the whole concept is so cool, and the main characters are to die for. 

12) Who is your favourite character to write for? Why?

It’s a toss up between Todd Brotzman and Dirk Gently. They’re both complex characters which gives me a lot to dig into and suits the kind of stories I like to write really well, but also they’re just some of my favourite characters ever so it’s a joy to write them. Also writing Dirk’s dialogue is always a delight and one of my all time favourite things tbh. 

22) Do you have a story that you look back on and cringe when you reread it?

I’m sure I would, there are plenty I cringe when thinking about, however I scoured them from the internet a few years ago now and I don’t have to think about them anymore so no! (Also even if I did I would still appreciate them for being important steps in my writing.)

Thank you!

1. Spell out your name with song titles:

E: The Enigma of River Song, from the Doctor Who soundtrack M: Moon Cradle, by Loreena McKennitt I: In Dreams, by Ben Howard L: Looking Too Closely, by Fink Y: You or Your Memory, by The Mountain Goats

2. Why did you choose your url?

It’s a reminder to me to stay positive and keep on keeping on.

3. What is your middle name?

Jo!

4. If you could be any mythical creature what would you be?

The obvious choice for me is a siren. Failing that, a griffin would be pretty darn neat.

5. Favorite color?

Any shade of blue.

6. Song you like right now:

Promise by Ben Howard has been my jam recently.

7. Top four fandoms:

Mmmmm...Young Wizards, Steven Universe, Voltron, and probably Les Mis.

Okay so tumblr never notified me I had asks so sorry I didn’t reply before now. I posted a few ask games but I’m going off the one I posted closest to when this was sent so if I get it wrong and you meant a different one then let me know! (Also hi, how are you? I think about talking to you sometimes but I totally forget to because I’m scatterbrained af)

1. Of the fic you’ve written, which are you most proud of?

This one. It’s by no means my most popular, but I’m kind of really proud of it? I actually hate my most popular fic. I was 13 when I wrote it, it’s terrible and I’d never admit ti was mine but it has over 2000 comments and I replied to every. single. one. But we all make mistakes.

6. Thoughts on critique?

When the intention is to be helpful then yes, I love it. I love mostly the format of: this is what I liked, this is what I think could have been better, here is some advice you could use to make it better. I don’t like anything that is unnecessarily harsh, I don’t like outright criticism. I also don’t like people 

9. A passage from a WIP

My WIP is so bare it’s a plot list. I can’t give you a passage really, but I am taking prompts at the minute so that could change. 

11. What are your weaknesses wrt writing?

Oh man. My hyperfocus spills into my writing, sometimes I really need someone to be like “we don’t need to know the exact measurements of his hand as he picks up a glass” I can’t help it sometimes. I repeat words and phrases too much. I’m having a love affair with commas. I don’t finish things. This list could go on but mostly I think sometimes I forget that writing is supposed to be fun, I’m doing it because I enjoy it and when I’m stressing myself out with it I need to take a step back.

Hell yeah we are :D

Also they can't make accurate calls in line ups

no worries!!
