Because I need momentary distractions between chapters

Spending ALL of today being insanely busy with schoolwork, but if I can't take short breaks I will go insane, so:

Ask me either a broad question (i.e 'who is your cruelest character?', 'what is your most optimistic story?') or a specific question/request ('what world does ___ come from?', 'tell me about ___') and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta- questions like 'what was the inspiration for creating ____?'

A very broad question: what do you enjoy most about writing?

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I enjoy getting it right. I enjoy silly metaphors that fit what I want to convey, and characters who are reacting the way I think they would.

Separate from that, I enjoy the sense of giving back to my community; of connecting with people and sharing my love and fun with them.

Also broad: what's your favorite story ending you're ever written and why?

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

That's probably a tie between Lying Next to Me and Common Knowledge; in both I think it's because those endings are about coming full circle, but arriving back at that point in a better world. The entire reason I wrote Lying was that the beginning and end popped into my head when Rachel started talking about a WYWS AU; what Brendon had been raised to hope for in a relationship, and finding that hope in Spencer, and how his family and music all tangled together and could be redeemed.

Common Knowledge, on the other hand, starts out with ignorance and curiosity in regard to fangirling and all it entails, and comes home to a full understanding of who they are and what they want and why. It also has a great punchline. ^_~

Eeh, excellent picks. I loved the ending to Lying Next To Me, it made me bawl because I'm a sucker for Hallmark Christmas moments. And it was like, all so amazing, and then Brendon's family showed up. Next thing you know, I'm sniffing and blubbering and beaming at my screen <3.
