10. Pick a writer to co-write a book with and tell us what you’d write about.

@timelordthirteen and we’d write a romantic thriller. :D

My husband and I have actually had an idea for a while for a neo-noir superhero story but we’ve never gotten around to writing it down. 

13. How do you deal with writers block?

Write something else. Usually I’m blocked on one particular story so I just abandon it for a while and get into something else. It’s not a real effective way of dealing with it, tbh. 

22. How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?

It depends on what it is. If it’s like a one shot or something usually what you read is what I vomited onto the page with little editing. If it’s something for a fic exchange or something multi chapter I try to give it a bit more polish. I’m never super satisfied with anything though. 

buttercup: do you prefer to write requests or come up with your own things?

I think I like a mix of the two. Some of my favourite things I’ve written came from prompts that to begin with I wasn’t keen on, so I like taking requests. On the other hand, I’ve written fics that were someone else’s concept that I ended up really hating. I work well collaboratively and other people have some amazing ideas to offer, but I need time work through someone else’s idea to reach my own interpretation and concept before I can do anything worthwhile with it. I like requests for inspiration - and I love fic-a-thons and gift exchanges for forcing me to write because I work well with deadlines - but in the end if I don’t have anything of my own to bring to it it’ll be a dud. The best things are where the two work in harmony :D

violet: do you read a lot?

Y E S. I was a reader well before I was a writer. I love to read. So much of who I am - as a writer and as a person - comes from books and fics and poems and plays and everything else I’ve read and loved. My favourite way to push myself out of my writing comfort zone is to try and write something inspired by a better writer than me. When I have a good book on the go, my attention span has no limit.
