Hi Stars!!!! 🪱 I’m nosy, so here’s some emojis from the ask game you reblogged!!
🪨 Hello!! And I love it!!
-- 🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
Torn in two directions - when someone is at their very lowest - their saddest, most injured, most hopeless, etc (examples - when Rowan walks away from Wars in Lily of the Valley, and when Wars was holding Wild at the end of Darkest Night). And when they are at their softest. I feel like the latter has been more common lately! (Blame Rowan! But I also love any big brother moments, especially when Wind gets to be the big brother)
-- ✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
Hmm, I like that I genuinely have fun while writing! It can be hard sometimes, and I complain a lot (you know that better than anyone!) but I love it. And I can give myself the grace to take a break from or scrap a project when it isn't fun anymore. Or find a way to make it fun again! I think that shows in my writing too, or at least I hope that it does!
-- 🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
A lot of times I just have like a let's play of some random video game on in the background (like stream style ones where you don't miss much if you aren't paying attention. Since I miss a lot!)
When I do listen to music, I have a playlist called "I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats" that has the Mountain Goats's entire library + some covers. It's great because I did most of my college writing to that playlist and rarely listen to it outside of writing, so I associate their music with being creative!
-- 🙋♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
A few! Mostly likeminded folks, or just people who support fandom in general. I think only one knows the fandom, though, and I've never shared any fics with anyone irl.
-- 🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
Now that would be giving too much away, wouldn't it??
But I think a few have gotten really close!
-- 🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
👀 scours my many docs for something shareable
Hmm, I don't really have a ton of actual wips that are fit to share, so here's a little snippet (unrefined) from what is still an outline (I don't think you've even seen this yet!)
“When I saw you hurting, when I thought there was even a chance that I could lose you, I realized that I couldn’t live in a world without you in it. You are not obligated to stay with me, at all, but no matter what happens, you make the world a better place. And I won’t give up on you, on us, on any chance that we have of being happy, whether that’s together or apart.”
He hears a horrified screaming shout from behind him, and then a searing pain in his back just as he drives his sword into the Lynel’s chest. And then he feels like he’s being torn apart from the inside out, and he disappears into streaks of blue light.
