Writing Meme

Mon Oct 5, 2009, 6:15 PM
I've been tagged!! So blame Subdivided17 for what will come next. That or thank her, idk :D hehe. Thanks Sub! I enjoyed reading yours and hope mine interests as well :) Link to Subdivided's page: [link]

The Writing Meme:

1. What’s the last thing you wrote?
A poem - Fragile

2. Was it any good?
I define good poetry as that which is instilled with emotion. It may not be technically good, but I poured my soul into it, that makes it good enough for me.

3. What’s the first thing you wrote that you still have?
Actually uh, right now my mom has it. Ha! She kept the first short story I ever wrote. I believe it was in 2nd grade. It was for Halloween and so was about a spooky witch and a spider. It is one page long and has absolutely no commas, periods, or correct spelling :D

4. Write poetry?
Absolutely. Some times it is the only way I know to express myself. When the words to explain just won’t come, I write a poem. This is why they are generally very free form, because they are very personal. I write them for me as well, you guys just get to see the glimpses of my soul within them.

5. Angsty poetry?
Yes. No. Maybe. I just write what I feel, whatever that may be at the time.

6. Favourite genre of writing?
I love writing anything with male/female interactions. If that generally leads to sex, whether in my erotica, sci-fi, or fantasy, well I guess I just like the topic *cheesy grin*

7. Most fun character you’ve ever created?
Hmmmm. I’m gonna say... Gabriel in the Conquer Me novella. He’s quite delicious. I would eat him up with a cherry! Just wicked enough with a dash of gallantry. Yummy :D

8. Most annoying character you’ve ever created?
Why would I write about annoying people? That would just annoy me :P Guess I should expand my horizons lol.

9. Best plot you’ve ever created?
The next one. Always the next one for I hope to ever improve :D

10. Coolest plot twist you’ve ever created?
My thing isn’t shock factor. It’s emotion. When I read a piece, I want to feel, see, and breathe it. So that is what I try to write. Feel their pleasure, sense their hesitation, know their victories. That is a good read, a roller coaster of emotion with a satisfying end.

11. How often do you get writer’s block?
I either do or I don’t. Generally its at the beginning of a piece, in the early stages. Once I get started on paper it just flows and doesn’t stop. If I have to stop in between due to things I have to do, then starting up again is hard. But again, once I get going my hands know just what to do :)

12. Write fan fiction?
Nah. I prefer the freedom to do as I wish completely. When you write fan fic, there are like rules and previously established things you must hold to.

13. Do you type or write by hand?
If I can AT ALL help it, I type. Because MAN my fingers have been cramping from how many notes I take in school! Still, I do jot down poetry “in the moment” as it were, and write prose when I’m stuck at school with nothing to do because a teacher didn’t show up or something.

14. Do you save everything you write?
No. Unfortunately, when I feel a piece is stupid or not good enough I’ll trash it. True, I sometimes will think “dang I wish I’d kept that, I have a great idea NOW that could make that so much better!” But no. I’m too .... hmmm.... afraid of being found lacking truthfully. Words hurt me more than they should. I think words hold the power of the world, good and evil.

15. Do you ever go back to an idea after you’ve abandoned it?
Yes, if I can remember it. Ha!

16. What’s your favorite thing you’ve written?
For the moment - (Because life is ever changing :D) I must say the Auction series, including Her Reward. Those pieces are the closest to my heart.

17. What’s everyone else’s favorite story that you’ve written?
My DA statistics say: Virgin Seduction has the most comments, the most faves, AND the most views :) A sweet and light piece of mine.

18. Do you ever show people your work?
Rarely. DA has been very freeing. The people I did show my work to irl... were not very supportive.

19. Did you ever write a novel?
Okay I’m totally stealing what Subdivided said :D
“Isn’t every writer required to say “I am working on my novel”?” *giggles* Actually I was working on one, but found it a little frustrating. This is actually some of what moved me to give college a try. I know I will have classes specifically on such. I’m so looking forward to it :D

20. Ever written romance or angsty teen drama?
Teen drama no. Romance. Yep yep! :D

21. What’s your favorite setting for your characters?
The only thing required is some flesh. Bedroom, park bench, dreary dungeon, wherever. I love it! XD

22. How many writing projects are you working on right now?
One. I do my best to only work on one at a time. I read a book about writing (lol) that suggested that if you have other ideas while working on a project, jot it down quickly and briefly so it won’t distract you, but don’t linger on it. Stay rolling in the one project and finish it first :D So that’s mostly my policy. I occasionally will start another piece, but I don’t focus on it for the most part.

23. Do you want to write for a living?
Yes. I love to write :D

24. Have you ever won an award for your writing?
Nope. That would involve... sharing... and rejection.... yeah I’m working up to it :D

25. Ever written anything in script or play format?
Not yet. But I know I have a class in it to look forward to.

26. What are your five favorite words?
Tantalizing; YES!; fuck; No. (Generally for the consequences of saying it though ha!); Master

27. Do you ever write based on yourself?
In NEARLY every piece I write there are aspects of myself within, whether in personality, description, or specific events in my life. One glaring one that is absolutely NOT based on myself is the Aristocrat as the female character was inspired by DusksSmexyness.

28. What character have you created that is most like yourself?
The Auction, After The Auction: Possession.

29. Where do you get ideas for your characters?
All of life is inspiration. People I know, events I observe, dreams, stories I read, etc etc etc :D

30. Do you ever write based on your dreams?
Yes. *points up and smiles*

31. Do you favor happy endings, sad endings or cliff-hangers?
I favor happy endings. I like to end fully satisfied like a good meal :) Yum yum yummy!

32. Have you ever written based on an artwork you’ve seen?
*tilts head* not as of yet that I can recall. I’m sure it will occur in future though :)

33. Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
A little. Mostly spelling as I KNOW I’m not that great at grammar. A place to improve.

34. Ever write anything in chatspeak (how r u?)
Not intentionally... though on occasion I’ll like something from chat so much that I save it and use it later heh..........

35. Entirely in L337?
What’s that? :S

36. Was that question appalling and unwriterly?
Number 35? What it was, was confusing :D

38. Does music help you write?
Before I write, sure. Never during. Music makes me want to move and I don’t move and type :D

39. Quote something you’ve written. Whatever pops into your head.
“But no, they were just really good imitations. Fake diamonds for a fake beauty...” From The Auction. Yes, I’ll just let that one lie...

USUALLY I just fave like an intro or first chapter of a piece. That way I always know how to get back to it, and send people who check out favorites to it but don't fill my faves with just one piece with lots of parts. But THAT piece... well I couldn't help myself. It just demanded a fave it was that good :D
