What’s Your Writing Style?
If I had to put into words, I think my writing style is more or less just a narration of what I imagine. I don't usually write in first point of view, I usually write in third point of views. I think i go overboards with description sometimes or I don't describe enough. Overall I think I still try to improve myself, more than anything else :D
1. Are you a “pantser” or a “plotter?”
Sometimes the most randomest prompt will hit me and I'll be like "I HAVE TO WRITE THAT!" and it won't go away until i write it. So I guess a plotter? Other media sort of prompts me to generate an idea, but of course I never actually get far enough to want to make something out of it.
2. Detailed character sketches or “their character will be revealed to me as a I write”?
I'll have an indefinable idea of what I want to the character want to portray, but I suppose I do have to write a bit more to grasp the whole concept of the character.
3. Do you know your characters’ goals, motivations, and conflicts before you start writing or is that something else you discover only after you start writing?
LOL I only know that I want a happy ending for my characters and nothing more. 10% of the time i have a bit of detailed screen play going on inside my head but then i usually forget it after a while lol.
4. Books on plotting - useful or harmful?
Hmmm... I don't necessarily "plot" but when an idea does come to me, I will write it down and have a very very very vague idea of the story.
5. Are you a procrastinator or does the itch to write keep at you until you sit down and work?
I procrastinate 99.9% of the time. However I feel guilty once I've looed back at some stories and I've realized how long it's been since I've continued them then I'll sit and coerce myself to write, but it usually turns out crappy so I delete it and I'll start over like 5 times before I give up and let it slide :P
6. Do you write in short bursts of creative energy, or can you sit down and write for hours at a time?
Probably both. A burst of a idea would pop in my head and I'd sit and type for all that my life is worth. Other times I'll sit and try on a a new story and it may or may not grow into a one-shot or drabble. And sometimes I'll sit and type and type and type and I'll check the time and 2 hours may have past.
7. Are you a morning or afternoon writer?
Probably afternoon-night. I'm too zoned-out in the morning :P
8. Do you write with music/the noise of children/in a cafe or other public setting, or do you need complete silence to concentrate?
89% of the time i'll listen to music just to motivate or prompt me, however when I'm concentrating and literallly into the story I'll turn off all electronics just to have silence so that I won't be distracted/concentrate.
9. Computer or longhand? (Or typewriter?)
Computer, but when i'm somewhere without access to the computer, i'll write it down,
10. Do you know the ending before you type Chapter One?
Like I said all I know is that I want a happy ending in the stroy nothing more lol XD
11. Does what’s selling in the market influence how and what you write?
Nope.
12. Editing - love it or hate it?
Passionately dislike it. I get so relieved when I'm finally finshed a one-shot or chapter, but then when I remember I have to edit it, I just sigh and wait until the next day. And i usually don't even catch some of the errors.
What’s the last thing you wrote?
"An Era of Amorousness chapters." along with a bunch of requested oneshots.
Was it any good?
I'm still working on it but i hope it will.
What’s the first thing you ever wrote that you still have?
I don't remember, the name but it was about a girl having her last hours with the man/boy she loved, and it was all angsty :|
Write poetry?
I used to all the time, but now i'm sort of bored of it.
Angsty poetry?
Yes, all the time (well i used to write them all the time)
Favorite genre of writing?
Fluff, crack/humor/comedy.
Most fun character you ever wrote?
They aren't characters but still: HanGeng, Kibum, Zhoumi, Onew, Changmin, Victoria (my bias are showing :DDD)
Most annoying character you ever wrote?
Donghae or Sahee lol but I love them~!!!
Best plot you’ve ever created?
uhhh ...I don't know :P
Coolest plot twist you’ve ever created?
I think my Burglar!AU verse is the "coolest" lol.
How often do you get writer’s block?
As soon as I get bored of my WIP I get major writer's block and i have no idea what to do with the plot anymore :(
How do you fix it?
I go through some of my old stories that I've written but never actually decided on finishing and see if it can jog any type of prompt.
Write fan fiction?
Pretty much all i ever write.
Ever written romance or angsty teen drama?
Yep.
Do you type or write by hand?.
both
Do you save everything you write?
yep
Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Sometimes, once I tune it out and refine it a bit (just like the burglar!au verse I thought it was stupid but I already had the whole story planned out and I already started half of it and I thought it was hilarious after a while lol)
What’s your favorite thing that you’ve written?
i don't have one. I guess i somewhat "like" everything i write since I put effort into it.
What’s everyone else’s favorite thing that you’ve written?
idk lol, I guess anything that's fluffy/humorous.
What’s your favorite setting for your characters?
probably highschool!au or anything domestic lol. (i'm a fluff maniac)
What’s one genre you have never written, and probably never will?.
uhh graphic horror (though I'd like to attempt it)
How many writing projects are you working on right now?
Ugh, too many like 10?
Do you want to write for a living?
I've thought about it, and I'm not exactly sure, though i'd like to attempt it.
Have you ever written something for a magazine or newspaper?
Nope. I don't do that kind of stuff.
Have you ever won an award for your writing?
Nope, not too confident in my wriitng.
Ever written something in script or play format?
Yep.
What are your five favorite words?
idk, lol, Super, Junior, M (okay I know they're not technically "words" but you know ;P)
What character that you’ve written most resembles yourself?
Hmm... maybe a combination of Leeteuk/Hangeng/Zhou Mi. (they're not actually characters but I think if you were to meet me in real life you'd say I was more like these three)
Where do you get ideas for your other characters?
whatever I feel the story needs. haha i'm so vague ;)
Do you ever write based on your dreams?
I don't ever remember any of my dreams :\\\\\
Do you favor happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!!!!
Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
no, but at the end when i'm finished and I have to "edit" yes.
Does music help you write?
Yep, but when I'm too absorbed in my writing it distracts me.
Quote something you’ve written. The first thing to pop into your mind
Nichkhun pouted in his seat, glaring at the clock hanging on the wall. He "occasionally" glanced out the window, and pouted whenever he didn't see his wife walk by, heading for their house.
