About You

When did you start writing? I started back in elementary school, but didn't really do anything with it until late 2016, which was when I uploaded my first ever chapter to FFN and AO3.

Are the genres/themes you enjoy reading different from the ones you write? I really don't think they are that different. I enjoy what I write and more.

Is there an author (or just a fellow writer!) you want to emulate, or one to whom you’re often compared? Oh, there are too many to name that I want to emulate.

Can you tell me a little about your writing space(s)? Not much to tell, really. I write wherever I can, whether that is my crowded trailer with my two cats (where I have little to no room for my crappy laptop), at work on my phone, or even just at the local coffee shop.

Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and places you write about? I would like to believe that they have. Especially when it comes to my OCs and the like that end up heavily involved in the plot. Though some I've found do resemble things I've felt about myself growing up...

Are there any recurring themes in your writing, and if so, do they surprise you at all? ... Trauma. Lots of emotional trauma. Doesn't surprise me much, knowing myself, though.

Your Characters

Which of your characters do you think you’d be friends with in real life? Probably Flynn. He may be as elegant as herd of oxen at times, but he has his moments where he does open himself up and show his true self.

Which of your characters would you dislike the most if you met them? 0_0 It'd have to be Nathaniel... my first OC.

Do you notice any recurring themes/traits among your characters? Probably not surprising, but they all seem to reflect a certain aspect of myself.

Your Writing

What’s your reason for writing? Originally it was just a form of stress relief for me when I was starting out with posting, and it kind of still is. But nowadays it feels more like a way to organize myself, keep my head in a certain direction.

Is there a specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating coming from your readers? Honestly, anything that isn't negative just to be negative. I appreciate any comments, good and bad, until they're downright rude out of left field.

How do you want to be thought of by those who read your work? I don't hold myself on any podium or platform or what-have-you, and I really don't expect others to do the same. I'm just an average person, like everyone else.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer? Probably grammar and punctuation. Maybe being able to run multiple subplots at once on purpose, but that's probably pushing it.

What have you been frequently told your greatest writing strength is by others? Definitely the way I can pull the readers along and keep them wanting more.

How do you feel about your own writing? It could be better, that there's always somewhere I can improve, that it's never enough and I should be trying harder.

If you were the last person on earth and knew your writing would never be read by another human, would you still write? Honestly, probably. When I first started posting, I never expected anyone to read my (at the time) atrocious writing. Especially with the pairing at the time.

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely what you enjoy? If it’s a mix of the two, which holds the most influence? It's a kind of mix of the two, with my own enjoyment being at the forefront.

i’m not a toy you cannot tell me what to do or think there was a time when i was a rag doll throw me wherever you may want but i learned my lesson and to my surprise reality unfolded before my eyes and like paper airplanes, we crashed and we burned

i’ll be your toy if i can’t keep you i can’t feel alive light is a lie and i am an actor i’ll be whoever you may want memories are torture for people in love like the girl who gave you all she was and i’ll give you up but i’ll never let go

move on, move on move on, da da da da move on

Imagine having a poem written against you you as your position- the one you have to take for so you have been issued as minister for dreams-

A poem type-set without margins to argue with-

Written in the eternal language the language of unanswered righteousness-

The kind that moves people not to action but to grunt a toast to the poet, and take your name in defamation The kind that anything can be justified in If spelt right.

Am i answerable to the poets? And how. How to answer cloud rhetoric? To make a return on sophistry That comes in the end to not one thing To make an attempt at that battery- Volleys sent without target to hit.

To leave it like this

To see the poet 'win' And the carry on As read forever

Right or wrong.
