my tag response

1. What's the last thing you wrote? What's the first thing you wrote that you still have? The last thing I wrote was a poem I am working on. The first thing I wrote was when I was in Kindergarten I was writing a mystery about some kids on an island. I don’t know where it is now, but I remember that it was really weird, and probably wasn’t very good. Though my kindergarten teacher (Ms. Myking) seemed impressed.

2. Write poetry? Ha this is a little coincidental! lol yeah I do.

3. Angsty poetry? Is there anything other than angst poetry! Yeah that is pretty much half of my poems, the other half is super depressing.

4. Favorite genre of writing? I love the classics. I am reading The Scarlet Letter right now.

5. Most annoying character you've ever created? Sally, most definitely.

6. Best plot you've ever created? I would say my last nanowrimo novel because it is actually my only story with a plot.

7. Coolest plot twist you've ever created? I would say the ones that I wasn’t even seeing coming. For example finding out that my character had depression, and liked to self harm.

8. How often do you get writer's block? I never really get writers block. I just get bored and like to jump around.

9. Write fan fiction? I don’t know what fan fiction is.

10.Do you type or write by hand? I type and write. My laptop has a screen that I can write on. I have four notebooks by my bed, and a flashdrive just for my writing. I like to form things on paper, and elaborate on screen.

11. Do you save everything you write? Yeah, pathetic, but yeah.

12. Do you ever go back to an idea after you've abandoned it? I am a perfectionist so I am always touching up my writings.

13. What's your favorite thing you've ever written? I wouldn’t know. I don’t claim favorites.

14. What's everyone else's favorite story you've written? I don’t share my writings.

15. Ever written romance or angsty teen? Lots.

16. What's your favorite setting for your characters? I love to write about regular neighborhoods.

17. How many writing projects are you working on now? Not really any “projects” per say but I am writing a lot.

18. Have you ever won an award for your writing? Nope.

19. What are your five favorite words? I don’t have a favorite five words.

20. What character have you created that is most like yourself? I think Morgan would be most like myself.

21. Where do you get your ideas for your characters? Out my butt. Really it seems they just come to me.

22. Do you ever write based on your dreams? My first novel was about a dream I had. More like a fantasy I wanted though.

23. Do you favor happy endings? I hate happy endings. They never come true. Sometimes I throw them in to make myself feel better but I would never favor them.

24. Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write? I write like a crazy person and when I am done I spend lots of time working on it. I will probably spend the rest of my life working on fixing it.

25. Does music help you write? Depends. Music is a great inspiration in my life. I write poems/short stories based on the emotions I feel from listening to them. But when I want to write about a emotion that I myself am naturally feeling I don’t listen to music.

26. Quote something you've written. I know this sucks so whatever. I HAVEN’T EDITED IT YET (this was the poem i was talking about in 1)

I press my knees to my torn chest

I try to mend the gaping hole

Try to cover the yawning crack

A memory flickers

I pound it out

With my clenched fists

I scream

I rip

Why?

I tear the picture with my quivering hands

Why would you do this to me?

A deep ugly hollow longing chokes me

I gasp for breathe

Why would you do this to me?
