Photo edited by yours truly, the phrase "Keep Calm and Carry On" was a motivational tagline, so to speak, created by the British during WWII, and it's stuck with me until today. Other quotes for me are from the Bible (i.e. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,"—Philippians 4:13) or song lyrics (i.e. "You only hold me up like this / 'Cause you don't know who I really am,"—"Of All The Gin Joints In All The World" by Fall Out Boy)

xiv. What's your favorite writing blog?
Something like that exists?

xv. What would you say has inspired you the most?
Books, books, books, fanfiction, fanfiction, fanfiction, music, music, music, anime, anime, anime. There's no levels to those; they all helped me one way or another. Heck, even random moments in school gives me several uncontrollable ideas.

xvi. How do you feel about movies based on books?
I detest a vast majority of them, but there are a select few which did the book justice. I dislike the fact that most people assume that the movie adaptations are the original stories as opposed to the books.

xvii. Would you like your books to be turned into TV shows, movies, video games or more?
I don't think that my writing so far deserves any of those; but if ever, I'd like the adaptations to justify the original else I'll be hunting down those responsible.

xviii. How do you feel about love triangles?
I typically enjoy writing about them; so, so much fun when everything's justified and you get to play with both the characters' and readers' emotions. (Just ask my cousin.) However, when reading about them or writing about them, I want everything to be perfectly justified and beneficial to the plot; if the triangle isn't useful or is simply detrimental to the plot, then I'd rather not use this admittedly overused trope at all.

xix. Do you prefer writing on a computer or longhand?
I usually type things up on my iPad; I'm seldom apart from said device unless needed. I used to write everythinh down manually, but that eventually grew old and I got lazy, so I usually just store the ideas in my brain until such time that I can type them out freely.

xx. What's your favorite writing program?
Wattpad or Google Docs, mostly. I keep a shit-ton of drafts on my Google accounts.

xxi. Do you outline?
Sometimes, when I'm being industrious or when I'm dreadfully bored and in need of entertainment. My drafts are usually pretty organized (OCD is key), and I eventually make edits to said outline when I have new ideas to add or when I want to erase it altogether.

xxii. Do you start with characters or plot?
Plot, usually. I try to start developing the characters after I get a small beginning to the plot. Edits to both usually occur over a long, long span of time because of varying inspirations.
