"FTDS, Have you ever gotten writer's block?"
"I don't really get writer's block."
"What is your writing Kryptonite?"
I don't really have a kryptonite, I can write for anything really.
"What are common traps for aspiring writers?"
A lot of authors don't take into account character reactions, and often fall into the path of not changing the canon story, even though they added new characters to it.
"Does writing energize or exhaust you?"
Writing relaxes me, it doesn't energize me or exhaust me.
"Do you think someone could be a writer if they don't feel emotions strongly?"
I personally don't feel strong emotions, but as long as you understand them, and can pretend to have them, then it would be easy to write for them.
"Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?"
F*** what readers want, I'm writing the story, and I want to be original. If they don't like it, they don't have to read it. If I want to do something, f*** what everyone else thinks.
"What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?"
Nobody, I either read from people, or I don't. Stories don't "grow" on me, and authors don't either.
"What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching before beginning a story?"
I'm in a constant state of research, wherever I go I am doing some kind of research. I watch and research people, and their lives. I research many different types of science, human biology, and anything that can be applied into a story.
When I want to start a story, I start it... right then and there.
"How many hours a day do you write?"
Depends on the day.
"Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?"
I read my reviews, all of the time. If a person flames or trolls, I block them. My stories are not a flame war, and I will not allow idiots to start flame wars on my stories.
"What advice do you have for writers?"
Do what you want, but if you do it, you better be able to explain it. Don't do something just to do it, and NOT be able to explain HOW or WHY you were able to do it. Creativity is amazing, but being creative doesn't mean being GOOD either.
