Where do you publish your work?
What medium/application/etc. do you write in or with?
Do you collaborate with others?
Aside from excited chats/DMs, no.
How much editing do you do before you publish?
I like to publish drafts to AO3 before I post them. I get a fresh look at what I’ve written, which makes it easier to pick out mistakes. I usually read through 3-4 times. I also like to have beta readers, particularly if the fic is written for an exchange.
How do you decide what to write about?
Well, generally, it’s about whichever two fictional idiots I’m obsessed with at the moment. Then it’s just--whatever trope or genre hits me. Sometimes, it’s reactionary to an episode of TV, where I just need something to happen but I know it won’t actually happen on the show. (I’m looking at you, The 100.)
Do you listen to music when you write?
Sometimes. I like to have something in the background when I write. If I need to concentrate, it’s music. If I’m not on a deadline and can write at whatever speed, I put something like Property Brothers on.
Generally, in the afternoon while the toddler naps; if I don’t allow myself to get distracted, I probably write best at night.
Not as often as I should. Not as often as I’d like to have a habit of writing.
Is there any genre or type of story you want to write but are hesitant to?
What I most want to write, but haven’t summoned the necessary motivation or confidence to do so, would be long fic.
Any inspirational quotes, videos, tricks, articles, etc. that help you stay motivated?
Deadlines. Of course, by “deadlines,” I mean, “I can only write under pressure; I am a mess of a human.”
