- wow, i haven't been here in a long time, but i'll answer questions anyways to get into the hang out it again.
how have your important experiences (moving to a new country, going to college, getting a new job, et cetera) affected your writing?
well, i'm currently starting up a healthcare class in school, and it's taking up most of my time. to be honest, i haven't been able to write much other than simple roleplay lines or kalon entries.
what's the best magic system, alien race, or fantasy species you've created?
there was one time where i wrote a book about a girl who could turn into a wolf because of a curse placed upon her by her father, but i didn't write very much about the system. i hadn't gotten that far into the book before giving up.
in your opinion, what's the best world you've built?
(again from the book with the girl who could turn into a wolf): i drew out a map of the camp for the pack of wolves that took the girl in, and i thought it was very nice. there were separate dens for each rank and specific places for where they would meet and such.
do any writers or books in particular inspire you?
ellen hopkins and robin talley have inspired me very much. in fact, they're the ones who pushed me to use more descriptions and figure out the plot more before putting a pen to paper.
are there any writing styles you try or have tried to emulate?
i try to emulate ellen hopkins' writing (i absolutely love her free-verse poems), but it usually doesn't sound or look as nice as the ones that she has in her books. besides, i struggle a bit with plot already, so putting it into poem form just makes it a little bit harder for me.
