4, 7, 18, 25, 28 and 49
4. What is your favourite genre to write for?
Sofia- is this a real question? angssssssst baby, all day & all night 😈
7. When is your preferred time to write?
Honestly, whenever I actually *have* time. It’s quite rare nowadays with a husband that works from home & a growing toddler, so whenever I get me time that’s my preferred time 😂It used to be while I was pumping at work though! It was a wonderful distraction from being a cow at a dairy farm daily 🙃
18. Do you have any abandoned WIP’s? What made you abandon them?
Ok one major one comes to mind because there are several series that I do plan on finishing & I have general plotlines thought out. But Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince was a series I’ve since abandoned. Not sure it will always stay like that (@wanna-be-bold may hate me if I don’t get back to it), but when I wrote it I was super pumped about it. Loved the premise, loved my writing in it, loved the song that inspired it, but sadly I’m human & when no one else got as excited for it as I was, it sent a little black cloud over that idea. All motivation and excitement vanished into thin air with the lack of response, & thus I abandoned that storyline.
25. Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?
Very, very few times have I actually, truly cried. Pretty sure it’s only been twice- the first with Completely Yours (even though I *knew* the ending would be happy but writing that letter got me hard) & the second Here By Faith (specifically ch 2) from the deeply personal story it’s based off.
28. What is something you wished you’d known before you started posting fanfiction?
Oooh the only thing that comes to mind is not being affected by the lack of kudos & comments. Which is so so so hard, but in order to at least start- you can’t let the lack of traction get to you. It’s so important to just write to write- release your feelings to the void, no matter what response you get. Your writing is an expression of your inner most thoughts, and truly the only person’s opinion that matters of said thoughts- is you.
49. Can you remember the first fic you read? What was it about?
I can’t remember the first one & its plotline 😭 but I know it was @hellokaelyn! It was from before I had tumblr & I followed the @torresandbishop page on twitter. I kept seeing these posts that made zero sense on twitter (Naomi reblogging Britt’s links for stories) because the post just didn’t translate well over on twitter, so I ignored them for the longest time. Finally one day I said what the hell & checked out this “hellokaelyn” person and my life was forever changed ❤️❤️
