14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us? (is it just me or are these questions getting stale) I’ve mapped out, officially, the landscapes of Nagnomei and, more succinctly, that of its capital region the Royal North. There isn’t anything dramatically awesome about these maps. They were…
13. What’s your favorite culture to write, fictional or not? That’s kind of an odd question. And it may seem like an easy one for me to answer, but it really isn’t. I do a lot of writing based on Japanese culture (or even parts of stories set in Japan) but I wouldn’t necessarily say…
I can’t draw maps like this. At all. 12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you’d like to share? I’m pretty sure this has already kinda been asked before…and my answer is more or less the same. Nagnomei is by far my favorite world,…
omg. GET IT? 11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite? It was inevitable that this question should arise eventually, so I was pretty prepared for it. Being asked who your favorite character is is like the previous entry I wrote about being asked which novel is your favorite – after a while…
10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts! Oh my God, I think I am in love with this question. Ironically though I’m sitting here trying to think up an appropriate answer. But when you just kinda let your scenes go wherever…
9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them. Is this a legit question? I guess there are writers who literally sit down to draw out every detail of ever character, but for me I just bust them out. When I know a new character is coming in, I…
THEY ARE ON A MASTER QUEST. 8. What’s your favorite genre to write? To read? I think it’s pretty safe to say that I need a huge heaping help of fantasy in any story I write. This goes hand in hand with my favorite genre to read, which is obviously fantasy. My problem though is…
I think this may be physically impossible. 7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters? If writing is my favorite thing in the world (debatable anyway), then music is the “other thing”. Ironically, used to be that I couldn’t write to…
If only my workspace was this clean. 6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol’ pen and paper? First question is quite easy. I can write anywhere. Growing up riding the school bus for two hours every day has trained me to tune out outside distractions, even…
I found old people! 5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them? This is so beyond arbitrary. I’ve got characters across every age range…of course, the majority of them, including major characters, fall into the teenager/adult trap, but I have my reasons…
