C, P, Q

C: Who is your favorite character of your own?  Who is your favorite character created by somebody else?  Why?

jeebles, I have so many favorites now… my favorite character of all is probably Monsoon, big Mouran warrioress who tamed a fearsome firecat and takes no shit from anyone. I have many heart-characters from others’ work, but the three I gotta say I really adore are Hazel from Watership Down, Ratha from Clare Bell’s books,and Ender from Ender’s Game (yes, I know, fuck that guy).

P: What are your goals for things to happen to your writing? (Getting published, getting a good review, having a fandom, etc)

I’d like to make a modest (to spectacular, wouldn’t turn down a lavish writerlife) income off my book sales, so I can eventually do that full-time. I’m under no delusions that I have a good shot at writing my way out of ever working again, so I’d like to make enough that I can do the full-time thing comfortably. I’d also like Makani to draw fan art of something I write. anything, really. just proving that we share a sense of humor. XD

Q: How do you get through writer’s block?

honestly? having at least 3-4 different types of projects going on at once. I haven’t had many days in recent memory where I was completely blocked on everything, because I managed to maintain enough ways to change it up that my creativity rarely clogged up altogether. that’s not to say I haven’t been blocked on individual projects, and usually it means I need to do something different but that isn’t writing-related at all. most recently it was call a friend. before that it was get out of the reading rut I was in. meanwhile, I kept improving my cooking skills, or my pole dancing, or a different phase of a writing project (I’m often blocked on research but not prose, or vice versa). kept me from going nuts and feeling like I didn’t accomplish anything.
