💕 Your two top fave fictional characters

Firstly, obviously, Vergil! 😆 the second place will be Chris Redfield from RE 🙈

🔑 Key to your heart

Honesty! I know some people prefer white lies to avoid conflict, but trust me if you tell me with your sincerest honesty (as long as it wasn't a hateful speech without constructive criticism), then you already have my respect 🥰

(Also, ice cream. That works sometimes 🤣)

🎁 Best gift you ever received and why

K! Thank you for the questions! <3

9) what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

This is SO hard to answer. I could be inspired by just about anything that amuses me, down to whatever my next newest obsession is. And it’s just such a darn shame that I have so much inspiration but just NOT ENOUGH TIME. Or, more to the point, life is bullshit and wants to take up 80% of my time with labor that barely keeps me alive, leaving me not enough time to pursue creative endeavors. 

13) your strengths as an author

I write pretty damn fast when I do have the time to do so. When I have everything I need lined up, I can clock 300 to 500 words in 15 minutes... especially if my nails are trimmed down. (Speaking of which, I need to do that right now so that I can get another 1k words in...) Why do the length of my nails matter? I used to be a pianist. And I type with the same habits that I play with: proper posture, elevated hands, and wrists are not resting on anything. It’s probably a bit odd to say, but when I type, I’m not just thinking of what words I’m writing down or of what I need to write next, but I’m also listening to the sound of my keyboard; that’s also how I know if I’ve missed a key or didn’t hit a key properly, and would need to fix something. This probably sounds mega odd, but I guess I’m just weird. 

Despite my typing speed, even in writing, you need to take a break every fifteen minutes or so. Can’t play a song nonstop for one hours. Years of piano practice has taught me that. Especially the long ones that take a lot of effort. If I’m lucky, I can get 5k words done in a day, but that’s provided if I’m left alone for the day to do so, haha.

Aside from my typing speed, however, I do tend to find myself thinking about what I need to write and certain specifics at any given point where I can’t write but have nothing else to focus on. The “daydream” thing, where I review and revise scenes and make sure to write them all down on an outline. So, by the time I’m typing my “first draft”, that’s not my first draft. That’s my second draft. And what you see that I post is likely my third draft. 

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

*snorts* Gotta say, it’s kinda a bit of the other way around. I don’t like writing things I don’t know... but, I don’t know everything. Thing is, I really can’t say I’m an expert at anything that I try to google in order to write for a scene. The thing I have to google the most is history, and history is the thing that I’m the WORST at. 

But I HAVE expanded knowledge in something I’ve already dabble in, in order to make sure I can make the best writing choices.

Hi again K! Thanks for asking!

🔑 Key to your heart

K! So good to see you again! :3

Pine 🌲 - what’s something you’ve had since you were a child?

My 17 years old Game Boy Advance! And it’s still working (though not properly XD)! 

Echo 🕳️ - what’s a habit you want to start?

Getting a healthy sleeping cycle. Sometimes I don’t sleep at all in a day, sometimes I sleep for 3 hours, sometimes 12 hours. That’s messed up and I really want to fix it.

Lavender 💜 - what’s your favorite smell?

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)? 

Ooooooh boy. This is hard to answer. I do love the tropes that can give me “an excuse” for writing spicy fics, though. Following that, I suppose I’m very into what technically is called “interspecies romance”? Are devils a different species or a different race? idk, there’s a lot of tropes out there, and I like a good handful of them. And I’m going to just come out and say it, but anything that goes good with a breeding kink is a good trope for me, haha.

33. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?

I am writing on whatever platform that I can get my hands on when the inspiration strikes. With Google Docs, if I’m not on my computer, then I’m writing on my phone or my iPad. That said, because I get to write so damn much, I’ve stopped trying to look for a beta. It’s too much to ask someone to beta for free. So I always have to give myself a day to beta my own stuff and really hope my writing is up to par. And all of that aside... phew, I write fast and I write a lot, and that’s all in between full time work days where I’m gone for ten hours a day. It’s a dedication, to still find time to write, that’s for sure.

34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

These are always the damn hardest for me to choose from, haha. I’m feeling a little Dante x Lady tonight, so let’s go with this:

“You have to say something.” Trish said as she watched Lady knock back another drink at the bar in the corner of the Devil May Cry office. “You’re reacting too badly to keep this bottled inside, and even I can tell.”

“He left the deed with Morrison.” Lady hiccupped.

“I know.” Trish nodded.

“He’s never done that before. He didn’t plan on coming back!” She wailed.

“I know how it looks.” Trish tried to reach for the vodka bottle, though Lady pulled it out of the way from her reach. Trish could easily wrestle it from her, but she didn’t, for now.

“And at this point, he probably still won’t be coming back! Morrison pretty much hinted that after a certain time, the deed would go to Nero. Nero deserves it, but not like this… not like this!”

“You really should be lamenting these feelings to Dante, and not to me.”

“He’s not here to hear them!”
