Award-Winning Fantasy Author Tyffany Hackett

I was tagged to share ten random facts by the amazing @blogherosix <3

I’ll try to think of stuff I haven’t shared before xD

_____________________________________

1. My husband regularly “scolds” me for helping too many people. xD

2. I used to be a Call of Duty junkie. I still play, occasionally.

3. The first story I ever put a lot of time into was a horror story I called Cliff Haunt. It was about a haunted house on a cliff. >.> Lots of insta-love and terribleness ensue. And I thought I was so clever because there was a literal skeleton in the closet. -facepalm-

4. My wedding ring is a simulated black opal and cubic zirconia in stainless steel. I swap it often for The One Ring. ;)

5. I had the plates stolen off my car for turning down a movie date.

6. I’ve been with my husband almost eight years. I’ve only ever dated two other guys, and one was for a whopping month. xD

7. I have over 3400 recorded hours on World of Warcraft. I started in late Cata.

8. My son is my pride and joy, and the love of my life. Prior to meeting my husband, I swore I wouldn’t have kids.

9. I worked in a factory for a year. I was a Quality Control associate, meaning I literally spent hours a day starting at plates and bowls. I hated it, passionately.

I was tagged by @blogherosix to do the 10 questions tag! Thank you!!! <3 Rules: Answer the ten questions, create ten of your own, tag ten people. 1. Who is your favorite character to write? Why? Jyn is probably my favorite to write... he kind of does what he wants and it’s fun. I never know what he’s going to do. ;) 2. What is the strangest/funniest/most notable piece of feedback you’ve gotten from a reader? My editor sent my the most hilarious and adorable red squirrel meme when my protagonist finally kissed her love interest. His little arms were thrown up in the “omg finally” stance and I died. Does that count?? 3. Your book is going to be a TV show! And it’s going to last way more seasons than material in your actual book. What other subplots would be cool to see play out on the screen? A lot of my character backstories are only touched upon, so those would be cool additional story bits. Plus, after the third book, there will be an epilogue but their lives will go on. So. Plenty to work with ;) 4. What made you want to be a writer? I just love to write. Even when I was younger I scribbled stories in notebooks. I was the kid that played outside and acted out re-tellings of fairytales in my back yard. (I was almost always, somehow, Pocahontas) When I got older and life got harder, writing was an escape. My characters, or some of them, are close to my heart because they were the closest thing I had to friends some days. And when I couldn’t write, I had books. The idea that I could write a story that could help someone else escape is a big part of the reason I want to be an author. Words have been my life, all my life. 5. Plotter? Pantser? Plantser? Pantser, pantser, pantser. And I’m kicking myself in the rear for it :P 6. What song describes your WIP best? My current WIP... I’m not far enough to be sure. I’ve been listening to a lot of Invincible by Two Steps from Hell though. I like to joke that “Get Back Up Again” from Trolls is my protagonist’s theme song for Imber though. xD 7. What’s something you know about your main character that won’t make it in the book? Erm. I really had to think about this one because over three books you’ll learn SO much about Nat. I’m not sure if this will go in the books or not, but the reason she wears her boots with such attachment is because of her father - he always wore boots, everywhere. She got into the habit because of him, and now she carries it on without him. 8. If you had to ship your character with someone other than the love interest who would it be and why? Can I ship her with Rhysand? Because, well. Rhysand. 9. What are you goals for your WIP? Get the first draft done before November (dunno if that’ll happen but xD ) so I can do first revisions for NaNoWriMo. 10. How can I learn more about your WIP and other works? http://www.tyffanyhackett.com or over on Instagram @tyffany.h
