30. Final ques­tion! Tag some­one! And tell us what you like about that per­son as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters! I’ll do the actual tagging in the livejournal version of this blog.  Here I’d just like to say…I am so glad this meme is over. It got really grating and repetitive…and holy…

29. How often do you think about writ­ing? Ever come across some­thing IRL that reminds you of your story/characters? I live and breathe writing, pretty much.  That said, EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF IT, it’s annoying.

28. Have you ever writ­ten a char­ac­ter with phys­i­cal or men­tal dis­abil­i­ties?  No, simply because my characters are usually charged with saving the world, and they have to be petty fit and able. Of course a handicapped world-saver would be interesting, but it’s not something I feel would “work” in either universe (since they tackle…

27. Along sim­i­lar lines, do appear­ances play a big role in your sto­ries? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about design­ing your char­ac­ters. I really don’t have a set way of “designing” my characters.  They just kinda manifest themselves in the split second they’re created. Sometimes I have a “stock” in…

26. Let’s talk art! Do you draw your char­ac­ters? Do oth­ers draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite pic­ture of him! THERE ARE NONE. STOP MAKING ME FEEL INFERIOR. >( This meme seriously sucks.

25. Do any of your char­ac­ters have pets? Tell us about them. Pets are like ghosts in my novels.  They’re supposed to be there, until I forget to PUT THEM THERE. Because, usually, they have nothing to do with the plot,and just kinda sit pretty in the background for characters to pet. For instance, there…

24. How will­ing are you to kill your char­ac­ters if the plot so demands it? What’s the most inter­est­ing way you’ve killed some­one? Heck yeah I’ll kill characters if the plot demands it.  Sometimes, it happens yo.  Technically I’ve been killing some of the same characters over and over and ooooveeer again! (Violently, indeed.)  There…

23. How long does it usu­ally take you to com­plete an entire story—from plan­ning to writ­ing to post­ing (if you post your work)? Oh goodness, I’m still working on most of them.  When I was younger and wrote shorter, more succinct novels, it only took me about five months of working for about 1-2 hours…

22. Tell us about one scene between your char­ac­ters that you’ve never writ­ten or told any­one about before! Seri­ous or not. I can’t do that…that would be a spoiler…and I would have to kill you. ;D

21. Do any of your char­ac­ters have chil­dren? How well do you write them? Not usually, most of my characters are not interested in having children, much like myself.  Obviously in multi-generation series like Nagnomei, characters breed, but I pretty much skip over their childhoods and go straight to teenage and up.  And if characters…
