Another randomness book.
Because apparently, nothing's more random than this cluttered mind of mine.
General warning: Possible spoilers abound.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Because seriously, I just did.
Peace out,
Zoe (Or Thalia. Whichever.)

i. When did you first start writing? It was around... five or so years ago? I was in my elementary fifth grade year then, I think.
ii. What was your favorite book growing up? Definitely the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, along with Number The Stars by Lois Lowry and Mythology by Edith Hamilton.
iii. Are you an avid reader? Started in first grade, and now, around nine years later, I'm still continuously reading any kind of literature, so most definitely, I am.
iv. Have you ever thrown a book across the room? The times I got pissed off at someone disturbing me not withstanding? Er.. I don't think so.
v. Did you take writing courses in school/college? Just standard mandatory subjects. There's also the occasional journalism-related seminars and/or press conferences since I'm a part of the school campus paper, but other than those, not really.
vi. Have you ever read any writing-advice books? Just once, for journalism. Other than that one time, nope.
vii. Have you ever been part of a critique group? ...No? I don't think so.
viii. What's the best piece of feedback you've ever gotten? You probably mean pieces, but every single comment on any of my works makes me really happy, but I definitely love moments when my senpais (like Maria-san and my cousin Faye) critique what I have. And yeah, even rants help me. XD
ix. What's the worst piece of feedback you've ever gotten? Like I said, I appreciate every comment I get, but when people speak as if they understood what they read even though it's obvious that they didn't.. well. It gets me sometimes.
x. What's your biggest writer pet-peeve? Typographical errors, mostly. I commonly miss several errors even when I reread the draft and edited it several times, and it annoys me too much. Another is that even though I try my best, what comes out in the piece isn't what I had in mind.
xi. What's your favorite book cover? Several, actually, but the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book One: The Sword of Summer's cover is my favorite so far.

Just look at how all those colors blend together so damn perfectly, it's beautiful.
xii. Who is your favorite author? Like, published-books-wise? Definitely Rick Riordan—the dude inspired me to write about mythology and fantasy. Other than Mr. Troll Riordan, Cassandra Clare and John Green are two of my other favorites.
xiii. What's your favorite writing quote? I actually don't have a favorite quote which pertains to writing, exactly, but when it comes to motivation, well, my home screen can be proof of the quote I love most.
