#teac talking

...when you’ve finished writing something and you want to post it desperately but you’re unsure about yourself but there’s no one around you to give you their opinion. 

I've realized that ever since my mom left writing Trek things had been the hardest because she used to show it to me when I was a kid and we would watch TOS and the movies together (the Voyage Home was our thing) but me losing her is all so recent... I have yet to come to terms with that even though i don't think you really get used to the death of someone you love more than anything, but you know... I'm gonna have a Trek tattoo in less than 2 weeks now and it's as much as an hommage to her as much as an hommage to this world I've been diving into for the past... Idk 20 years maybe more... And yet in the midst of that and me mourning I discovered Voltron and I fell into this wonderful rabbit hole and suddenly it felt like a breath of fresh air when I was suffocating with grief... What I mean to say and really the title says it all I guess is that for now i'm gonna stick to writing Voltron fics because i need to step back a little from trying to write Trek or else it will become something too painful and it's been in my life for so long... I don't want to lose that as well. I will not abandon my Trek wips... They're just on an indefinite hold for a while.

I've been tagged by @what-if-im-a-mermaid (thanks!) so here we go... this is long, consider yourself warned.

1) How many works in progress do you currently have?

Surprisingly, considering what I've seen on many tags already, only one. I physically have to be focused on one work at a time or else I'll never see the end of anything I'm working on. Although in my head there are about 2 more ideas I'd love to try to write as soon as I'm done with my current wip, and approximatively a bazillion abandoned projects in the darkest corner of my computer.

2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?

I only write fanfiction although I used to write OC stories back in my school days. I was too young and internet wasn't such a thing for me to know what a fanfiction was or else I'd probably have turned many writing projects into some.

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

Hm well I'm kinda old fashioned so I'll say paper books because nothing beats the smell of a library and old books filling dusty shelves, but considering the amount of fanfictions I read on my phone I can't say I don't like ebooks. I do own a kindle and it's so convenient to carry around honestly.

4) When did you start writing?

Back in my school days I discovered that writing was fun and that I had quite a vast imagination but it's only in my early 20s that I actually started to write for fun, as a hobby, a way to escape the real world and find some kind of hapiness in sharing my stories. I think it was 8 or 9 years ago? But I've hit a major writer's block those last 5 years. My writing became inconsistent and I was very much discouraged by the lack of feedback from the fandom I used to write for. I almost stopped completely until i came across some fantastic Spirk and Star Trek related stories on AO3 and it got me motivated to try my luck again. I had always been obsessed with Star Trek but never ventured near the fandom, it was about time I'd say.

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

Yes. I have a muse, my lovely bestfriend @sungshinie who supports me and my writing anxieties and my absence whenever I lose myself in a wip such as the one I'm writing at the moment. She feeds me many ideas and I love to brainstorm with her whenever I'm stuck. I'm not averse to share my work with others for beta reading and other feedbacks as long as she's the first one to lay her eyes on my stories.

6) Where is your favorite place to write?

My kitchen table. I dream of a writing room in my next appartment honestly. I can only write while sitting behind a desk, it's how I started but since I don't have an actual desk for now I'm pretending that my kitchen table is one and it kinda works.

7) Favorite childhood book?

I have no idea. I've been trying to think of an answer ever since I saw that question but nothing came out. I've been reading a lot in my childhood don't get me wrong but nothing had an impact on me as others had while reading Harry Potter for example. You must understand that my childhood readings have quite a few gaps honestly. I haven't read many "children classics" that i know some would find shocking.

8) Writing for fun or publication?

For fun. I can't think that anyone sane would want to spend a single cent for my writings. I'm happy if my muse like my nonsense and even more if i get some comments and kudos and such but that's all I'm asking for.

9) Pen and paper or computer?

Both. I usually plan the story in one of my many notebook (and I'm quite fond of fountain pens so it's an excuse to use them) sometimes I start the story on paper too to force me to just jot down what's in my head and not edit every single sentence right away but i mainly write on my computer.

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

Unless you count the compulsory literary classes in high school then no. And honestly those classes were more about over analysing the writer's style than giving you advices on how to actually write.

11) What inspires you to write?
