I also have questions^^ For the emoji ask game: 🤩, 🦉 and 🏡 🙂
Yay thanks for the ask!
🤩 What’s the most meaningful comment you’ve ever received?
Honestly the comments I have got on Time Will Tell (the Sanctuary soulmate AU) have meant so much. They’ve been so complimentary and have legit made me tear up. That fic seems to work for people and I’m humbled by the kind words people have commented.
🦉Is there another author that helped inspire you to write?
Honestly not really. I’ve been writing in some form or another since I started to read (so probably when I was about 3). Story is just part of me. There have been times in my life when my mental health has meant I haven’t been writing, but I can’t credit another author for bringing me out of it. Season of life I guess. I write because I have stories to tell.
🏡What is your perfect writing environment?
The one I have I guess. My office with the ultrawide monitor, NovelPad and Plottr open. Hot drink to hand. Music in the background. When I moved house I separated my gaming from the writing, making a dedicated space for both. At least now I have to be honest about what I’m doing. No more sneaky “I’ll just login for 2 minutes” because I’d have to be in a completely different room haha.
Although… this is for drafting ^^ or planning I guess. When I revise or edit (for novels) I do that on paper and sit at the dining table. I have 3 fountain pens for different colours, a stack of highlighters and a metric ton of lined paper. I mark up the draft, I take lots of notes etc. Only when I can see the big picture and it’s a matter of pulling it together do I go back to the PC.
