Do you find that writing provides a distraction from your life, or that it makes you painfully more aware of it?Like most people, it does both depending on what I'm writing. When I'm just having fun, creating a story that isn't based on anything personal, it distracts me from my life. Sometimes, though, I have to write something based on personal experience and (if that experience wasn't good) analyzing and re-living it can be... uncomfortable.
What is your way of curing writers block?Depends on why I have writers block. If I can't write because I don't know how to write a particular scene, I just work on something else. If I can't write because I'm feeling down, then I focus on feeling better before I try to do any writing. If I can't write because of a lack of inspiration, I read/watch things that I know inspire me and that have cured writers block for me in the past.

Good luck with that!
What kind of characters do you like to write for? Why?My favourite character to write for is Malik, because he's so intelligent but also kinda a psychopath. He loves to intimidate and scare people, and always strives to be unexpected and never bothered by anything. It makes for interesting conversations.
Speaking of characters, who from media inspires you?My main source of inspiration when all else fails...
here. Such a creative person, and incredibly weird.
Who do you base your characters off of?Always a mix of people I know, myself, and other characters. Rarely anyone or anything specific.
I have a question, to add to all the others:
- Code: Select all
[b]Do you have a notebook where you write down thoughts and ideas?[/b]
I recently started doing this and it is surprisingly helpful. Plus, it'll probably be fun to read (and cringe at) when I'm older.
