1. Where do you get ideas/inspo for your writing? Generally I draw from my real world experiences and my own thoughts about/relationship to the world. Writing is intensely, deeply personal for me! I also like to look to nature, to my family and pets, and to other works of literature and art for inspiration.

2. Do you have a favorite place to write? I love writing outside in my front yard, watching the squirrels run around and the cars pass by. It's really peaceful! It's a habit I only picked up recently and I'm so glad I did.

3. What are your tricks for getting through writers block?
I really like doing the stream of consciousness exercise to get my creative juices flowing. You set a timer for, say, ten minutes and write without stopping for the entire ten minutes. Just anything at all that comes to mind. I usually get two results: it's either incoherent or pretty good. I've published a few of them here and here.

4. Favorite genre to write? Do you have a different favorite genre for reading? Science fiction and horror. And science fiction-horror. Pretty much that's it.

5. What is something you really want to write but haven't gotten around to yet?
Uh, most things? I'm dreaming up a short story collection featuring sapphic sci-fi stories right now...

Just found this comm [community profile] thefridayfive and decided it might be fun to do every friday!

1. What's a song you'd enjoy screaming along to as you drove down the highway? I have a whole playlist for this, but my personal favorite car screamers are Tainted Love and Thong Song lol. I don't drive for disability reasons, but have spent many evening drives singing these with my mom.

2. What is your favorite place/type of environment to relax?
I really love going to the library, either to read or write. I find that I'm really only able to get writing done when I leave the house, for some unknown reason. And I live very close to my city's library, so I like going down there with my laptop and chilling. It's really calming and everyone is so nice there. And writing, of course, is my relaxation.

3. What are the best kind of dreams? I don't know! The good kind, I suppose? Lame answer I know... Maybe ones that connect you better to others, or give you realizations or something. I recently had a dream I was a mother, which I've always wanted to be but cannot be for various reasons, so that one was really nice but I ended up missing my daughter so much when I woke up, haha, so that's always a downside to good dreams---they're over when you wake up.

4. What do you look for in a mate?
Empathy, kindness, humor, and understanding. And, since fiction is a huge part of my life, we should at least share some interests there too lol.

5. If you were a crayon color, what color would you be and why?
I think I'd be a mint green! I love mint green :D I also recently chose mint as my color for the Neocities club "pantson colors".
