WELCOME TO BANANA FISH HELL. I /STILL/ HAVENT FINISHED WATCHING THE LAST EPISODE YET LOL!

This is so inspiring to see tisfan! Thanks for sharing <3

Thanks... honestly, I exasperate myself all the time, because I don’t want to/can’t seem to give myself slack or days off... I’m one of those Go Hard people because I don’t seem to allow that Go Home is an option.

@iamagentcoop, giving me the tough numbers for the author asks! Thanks, friend!!

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

Detail work and descriptions, definitely. Better, varied word choice. Actually describing places and people instead of assuming people live in my mind. 

Oh, and the smut.

17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?

Keep on keeping on, I guess! I was no stranger to writing what I wanted and going for rare pairs (Yuffie/Sephiroth, anyone??).

Maybe, “try to develop an outlining technique that is not just ‘writing notes on whatever scraps of paper are on the desk.’’ I mean, sure, I’ve updated to sturdier notecards but… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

Ok, I can’t claim I became an “expert” on anything to write a better story. That would be an insult to actual experts in the field, who spent years studying whereas I read the internet for a couple of weeks. That said…

For If You Fall, That’s Ok (the ground will catch you), I learned a LOT about ballet/dance. @vix-spes was my ballet beta and taught me so many things I would have never even thought about (like, do dancers have class the day of the performance? They sure do!). I also watched a ton of ballet classes and practice sessions on youtube.

And of course, for A Marriage of Ice and Fire, I tried to learn about the time period as best I could to keep details accurate. (And uh, without @leveragehunters as a beta, I would have done a lot of Bad Horse Details because I just assumed I knew things. I didn’t. Thank you again!!)

Yo, my fellow nerd & fandom parents! I want to...

So our homeschool group has been looking for a intro creative writing class for our youngers (like 6-8 range.) if you had….any desire….to deal with the littles ;)

Congratulations on eldest!!!! (And the car…of course ;) )

I'm relieved he's found something he's interested in. He loves politics, but he didn't want to major in PoliSci and have that be his entire life, so this was a really good choice for him.

Oh my god I burst out laughing. And also have no effing idea what that means

Having people ship your OCs…is my dream in life ;)
