And I was there to immortalise it with a crappy low effort meme.

Hello mine friend! (some time back I wrote, '"Indeed, Captain," Spock says with dignity.' in a WIP and then went....'OOOhhhhh I get it'. LMAO.) Thanks so much for the ask! <3

#4 Where do you find inspiration for new ideas? - Most usually when I'm giving myself happy daydreams before I go to sleep. Sometimes, I even remember them when I wake up lol!

#23 Best writing advice for other writers? - Don't be afraid to go 'well, this isn't working' and just chuck it. And by chuck it I mean exit the document and try something somewhere else. Because, delete nothing! If you need to take something out, by all means, but save it somewhere else for a rainy day!
