What is your least favourite character to write? In my opinion I always find the "villan" the hardest to write as I find it hard to switch to what their mindset might be.
What do you think of the word 'said'? I usually write in first person present tense and I would rather use says as opposed to said
What's your favourite flaw to give one of your characters?
I always give them a bad mouth and a feisty sort of attitude, I never, ever will make a perfect acharya tee when I am writing, I find a character like that ruins the feel of my stories.
Quick! You have ten minutes to write a (small) scene about a character called Raymond! ah... Ok.

"Come on Skink, keep up!" Twig calls from a head of everyone else, I could tell he directs a that at me, as I am lagging behind while everyone else sped ahead of me along the beach. Every time an AMMA plane flew over our heads we'd speedy as and hide behind rocks, not half bad training if I'm honest. A laugh emo area from the group in front of me as he teases me. I roll my eyes and try to pick up my lace but end up falling onto the sand. I curse, quite loudly, which earns me a kick to the head. I look up and there he is, Jack. He extends his hand to help me up and I take it.
"You've got to at least try to run," he says mockingly "unless you've change your mind about being a Street Warrior?"
I shake my head and stand up, brushing the sand of me.
"Shut it," I demand angrily, punching him in the shoulder lightly "just cause we are mates, doesn't mean you have to emphasize my flaws."
"Like, poor fitness, stupidity, bad looks-" he starts before I cut him off by punching him in the ribs, he laughs.
"I hate you," I say running off, he catches up.
"Don't worry," he says "I hate you too Ray."
This is a bit of background info since I didn't write a lot (ps. This info is writen from Twig's second in command Caleb's perspective.:
Hell's soldiers* (duel bladers, aka: the Rebels, the Street Warriors)
Guild of Jooters (Armada and the Mindel's Army Alliance, aka: the AMAA )
The Flankers • (the commoners that stay out of the street wars)
The Embalmers ^ (the Basic Health and care of Soldiers of the AMAA)
The Messengers (the Street Warriors that are trained to send secret messages through the tunnels that the Tunnellers dig)
The Tunnellers + (they are Street Warriors that are trained to dig tunnels that Messengers travel through to transport materials and secret messages)
The Barkers (they are the Jooters in charge, they spend their time in an office telling all their soldiers what to do.)
The Serpents ~ (they are the Street Warriors that have been sent on a spying mission.)
* that's just what the Jooters calls us, we calls us the Street Warriors and the Flankers calls us the Rebels
^ we calls 'em Embalmers 'cause that's what Twig says them Egyptians calls them people who makes those mummies. So we calls 'em that 'cause it's basically sayin' that the Jooters in the Embalmers care are as good as dead
• we says they is Flankers 'cause the Jooters rounds up some of 'means they flank the army when they is planning somethin' big like burnin' down our old HQ (which they actually did)
+ them Diggers is secretive 'bout their work. They don't say nothin' 'bout what they do and where it all goes.
~when Twig gets all suspicious 'bout a Street Warrior he sends off a few messengers to follow him 'round, eventually Twig finds outs they is a Serpent and then he punishes 'em. We calls 'em Serpents 'cause they manage to pass the tests and get all the information they needs, so they is as bad as serpents
