#personal moth things

What is your total posted word count on AO3? (Go to your Works, then click Statistics.)

my exact word count is 887,564! But I’m also sitting on about... 85k of unpublished writing right now? Because a little known fact about me is that I’m very bad at actually publishing things after i’m finished with them. haha whoops

How often do you write?

i try to write every day! sometimes, if i’m feeling lazy, i’ll take the weekends off.

Do you have a routine for writing?

routines are very good, and i have a whole lot of them, haha! generally, when starting a big project, i’ll make a playlist that sort of fits the atmosphere of that writing. and i’ll listen to it while i’m writing the first few chapters. eventually, i’ll start to associate that story with those songs, which makes it easier to switch between projects without finding myself in the mood for one story, but “stuck” writing another. i write at night, mostly, and i’ll try to start listening to my particular playlists about half an hour before i actually write, just to get myself in the mood for it. let’s see, uhhhhh... i try to never edit the same day that i finish writing something, and i always read my writing out loud when editing hahaha i also don’t ever shut the hell up about anything that i’m working on, which helps a lot but annoys everyone who has to deal with me 

What’s your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing?

i really like soft pairings! i think i’m becoming more boring the older i get. i like secondhand embarrassment a whole lot, love at first sight, and sort of... introducing information to the reader as the character discovers it. i also like mysteries a lot, along with easter eggs. i think i’ve put an easter egg in every single story that i’ve written since i published my first story on ao3 in... 2016. i like character-driven comedy too! 

Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

oh oof, okay uhhhh... i feel like i don’t really have a “favorite”? but i think the most rewarding writing experience that i’ve had was Love & Cheese. I met a lot of really amazing people through that story, and made a lot of incredible friends! 

Your fic with the most kudos?

A reeeeeally old collab of mine currently has the top spot, but Love & Cheese  has the most kudos of my solo writing.

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

i already know that this is going to sound like the most gigantic crock of shit in the entire universe, BUT. Okay. I wouldn’t say that there’s anything that I really hate about my writing that I’m not working on? I mean, I think that’s really the whole point of being unhappy with something, right? Like, making an effort to change it once you can pinpoint what you dislike. So right now, I’m working on creating better atmospheres! And maybe using less long dashes, haha! I’ve also been reeeeally trying to add emphasis to the right parts of the story, so I’m not focusing so much on things that don’t matter.

Now something you do like?

god this one is impossible and i’m so upset. every so often, my husband will read something that i’ve written and he’ll laugh at my jokes. and sometimes people will tell me that specific parts of the writing reminded them of something that happened to them? or that it made them cry, or feel nostalgic, or that it was comforting to see something that they could relate to. and i really strive to write things that can connect to people, so that’s an incredible experience! So i think, honestly, my favorite thing about my writing is really... being able to feel as though i’ve made a connection to people even if we haven’t met. or feeling closer to the people who i do know.
