I was tagged by @marewriteblr, thank you for thinking of me! :)

Rules: answer the questions and tag six people at the end.

1. The starting line of your current WIP.

Since I don’t really remember the starting line of Dune and I’m not able to access my own computer and look it up right now (I think it was something like “He threw his arms up into the air”), I’ll just go with my first wip called The Taste. It’s a Shakespeare quote (so tumblr right? I know...):

“These violent delights have violent ends.”

2. Two favourite OCs.

I love Callis Nanme, The Taste’s main protagonist. She’s 19, Asian, bisexual and she just moved to the city of Leighdon (I’ll change that name, it’s a mesh of Leigh Bardugo’s name and London ^^. You should check out Six of Crows btw!), in order to escape a toxic relationship with her violent ex boyfriend. She is now studying literature, loves books, video games, coffee and jazz. She seems to be very shy but she can be pretty extroverted and sometimes self destructive when you know her better. 

The second one is Amir Harun, Dune’s main protagonist. He’s 17, has dark skin, green brown eyes and dark brown, long cornrows. He lives together with his uncle Mazum and his cousin Naliah in Suthri, the kingdom of the desert. He’s a Dunae, a soldier able to manipulate sand. He also likes coffee and books and is very reliable. He always seems to be happy, but underneath his smile he hides a deep loss.

3. Plotter or Pantser?

I don’t even know what that means, sorry ^^’

4. Are you easily distracted?

Not really, I just run out of motivation very quick when it comes to writing. That’s also the reason why The Taste is currently on a hiatus. Once I’m stuck on a scene I can’t get my mind out of it and can’t start writing somewhere else within my story.

5. Favourite book

I will always love The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. 

I also loved reading “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” in school.

6. Favourite author  

I don’t really have one, just many whose works I like ^^

7. Best part of being a writer.

Having a very creative phase, where so many new ideas struck my mind and writing them all down in my notebook with little doodles next to them.

8. What do you do if you have writer’s block?

Like I previously said, I tend to get lost in scenes a lot. So I just stop writing for a few days and then return to my story, or I simply start a new wip (well hello Dune) ^^

9. Do you listen to music while writing and if you do, what genre?

YES, I listen to music all the time! Most times just the stuff I like, what would fall under the genres of pop, alternative and some acoustic stuff. However, if I can’t get into a certain mood on my own I just search for fitting playlists (e.g. the ost of AC Origins when writing a fighting scene for Dune ^^).

10. Least favourite book.

“The Catcher in the Rye”. I remember my German teacher talking about this book and I just imagined it to be so much different. 

So I’m just gonna randomly tag some blogs I’m following. I’m really sorry if you don’t want to participate in any tag games and I tagged you anyways. If so: I’m sorry, just ignore that I tagged you!

CAN THEIR PASSION MASK THE BITTER TASTE OF DEATH?

They called him Phantom. Because he was exactly that. Not a man, a ghost of the darkness. Unable to speak. Trained to kill. Conditioned not to feel. To laugh. To love. People screamed his name in fear.
