Tagged by @ladynorbert!

Short stories, novels, or poems?
All of them, but short stories are the easiest foe me to write.

What genre do you prefer reading?
Adventure, thriller/mystery

What genre do you prefer writing?
Also adventure/thriller/mystery, though slice-of-life is the easiest to write.

Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person?
For oneshots, I just wing it, but anything longer than a oneshot, I plan out a full outline.

What music do you listen to while writing?
I have a writing playlist with assorted things from my ipod list, which is a mishmash of Rockapella, 80s music, and video game soundtrack music.

Fave books/movies?

Robert Vaughn’s books, Clive Cussler novels, MFU books and movies, Adventures of Tintin…

Any current WIPs?
Ha.  Haha.  Hahahah.  HAHAHAHAHAHA.  Lost count a looooooong time ago…

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?

Blouse + skirt; my cartoon self would basically be my PoGo avvie–

Create a character description for yourself:
A US-born woman of South Indian descent, aspiring writer, and Pokémon-training bird keeper.

Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing?
I do on occasion–but 9 out of 10 times, though, it’s an unflattering portrayal of someone who wronged me, and my petty self getting satisfaction for it.

Are you kill-happy with characters?
Absolutely not!

Coffee or tea while writing?
Nope

Slow or fast writer?
When I get the time to write, I can write quickly, but the time I have to write is limited, so both fast and slow. 😅

Where/who/what do you find inspiration from?
Oh, gosh, from everything–songs, random events, offhand quotes and prompts, discussions about tossing ideas around…

If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be?
Some sort of scribe.  Or magic bird tamer.  Or both.  Both is good…

Most fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche?

Favorite: Undying Loyalty, True Companions, Power of Love/Friendship, Earn Your Happy Ending

Least favorite: Downer Endings

Fave scenes to write?
Scenes where you can see just how much two characters mean to each other and how loyal they are to each other.

Most productive time of day for writing?
Evenings

Reason for writing:
I love strong character relationships and all the associated tropes
with them–Undying Loyalty, True Companions, etc.  And so, I almost
always want to explore these relationships, whether in fandom or my own OCs, and so I write.
