How do you describe your style of writing?  

Hmm...  lyrical. I love me some prose, the rhythm and cadence of a well turned phrase. Nothing makes me happier. And layered – I write what I love to read, stories with sub-plots and plot twists. - MzMocha

Direct and meaningful. There's always a reason for everything I write. Intentional.  - Jen

I don't think I have a style yet. I have 2 stories with angst in them, I like those quit a bit. My favorite FanFic author is The Purple Pineapple, she is the queen of angst. - Olitzalltheway

Favorite vacation spot:

Anything with a pool or ocean. - Olitzalltheway

LA? I do not believe I've found it yet. - Jen

Any beach will do. - MzMocha

Do you incorporate visuals, music, and/or poetry to help you get into the writing mood?

Sometimes if I hear a song it make me think of them.. but nothing particular. - Jen

I have music playlists, both on my laptop and those I've created on YouTube. - MzMocha

No. - Olitzalltheway

Describe yourself in 5 words/phrases: 

Leo with Leo Rising... creative to the nth degree... Child of God, Momma, Auntie, Sister, Daughter, ...happily addicted to Tony Goldwyn. - MzMocha

Mom. Sister. Stubborn. Honest. President and founder of Horse Rescue United. - Olitzalltheway

Child of God, Caretaker, Family oriented, Determined, Different - Jen

Favorite Olitz TV moment/conversation? 

One Minute... also the "I trust you/He is not wrong" fight in the Oval.  - Jen

The Trail. I think it's when they where most true to themselves.  And of course, I loved Vermont. - Olitzalltheway

The Rose Garden – “I belong to you” The raw emotion coming from Kerry/Olivia and Fitz/Tony Goldwyn literally took my breath away.  - MzMocha

Favorite TV shows/movies

Scandal, Orange is the New Black. I also liked The Tudors before. - Olitzalltheway

Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, American Gods, Firefly, The West Wing, A Different World. Movies – the nerd in me lives in the MCU – the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can't WAIT until Black Panther comes out! Beauty Shop, The Best Man, Just Wright, Dreamgirls, The Five Heartbeats. - MzMocha

One Tree Hill, Scandal ; Crazy/Beautiful + About Time- 2 fave movies - Jen

Outside of Olitz, where do you get inspiration to write?  

The people I'm around, especially children. - Jen 

I like going to the beach, it gave me the idea for a future chapter in one of my stories. - Olitzalltheway

I started off reading General Hospital fanfic until I felt the inspiration to write my own. I was lucky to have come across a fanfic board that encouraged writers, with forums with a lot of how-tos and I was hooked. When one of my fics turned itself a novel [Dangerous Liasions on FFN under my MzMocha pen name], it inspired me to try my own with original work, in which I write soul & sword fantasy. I used to draw a lot and the research I would do on my artwork started giving all kinds of ideas and one day I opened a notebook and started to write it all down. In 2008, I discovered Nanowrimo, and I've never looked back from there. - MzMocha

Anything else you’d like to share?  

I hope the fanfic authors keep it coming, especially with only 1 season left of Scandal. - Olitzalltheway

I want to say thank you to all the readers who have left me so many great reviews on my fics, they really make my day  - and don't forget to check out my Olitz videos! https://www.youtube.com/user/mzmocha123/videos  - MzMocha

I'll be updating Love and Freedom very soon. - Jen
