The Reason I Write

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."

The Writers Tag

I just got the writers tag from Celtic Traveler at The Grey Traveler's Inn. This should be fun!!!!

Rules: Fill out the tag, and then add two of your own questions!

What do you write your stories on?
Usually I use Microsoft Office Word, though I will every once in a while use a notebook, (usually to write out Ideas and/or History).

What is your favorite kind of character?
I love characters who are dark and mysterious and/or grim and somewhat sad.

When you're asked what your story is about, what is your usual reaction?
I usually just vaguely mention that it is a medieval story with a touch of fantasy, and then I rather quickly change the subject.

What is your biggest writing pet peeve?
Writer's Block.
Definitely Writer's Block.
I just got over a serious bout of that and I would do almost anything to avoid going back!

What is the biggest turn-off for you when reading a book?
Excess Magic, (LOTR is about as magical as I will take it) and also I don't like extreme Fantasy, I like to keep in touch with reality a little bit.

Your favorite era in history?
Dark ages/Medieval/Renaissance all the way!

How many words on average do you punch out in one sitting?
That depends on how inspired I am, hard to say, I usually don't pay attention.

Are you a fast typist?
Kind of.

What do you do for inspiration?
I listen to drama music/soundtracks to inspire the type of scene I am currently writing. I also will scroll through the history of my characters and look at the pictures that I have found of certain characters.

The truest writing quote you've ever heard:
Can I do three? One is; "Write down the thought of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commenly the most valuble" Francis Bacon. And another is; "being an author is like being in charge of your own personal Insane Asylum" Graycie Harmon. And the last is; "If I'm trying to sleep, the idea's won't stop. If I'm trying to write, there appears a barren nothingness" Carrie Latet.

What's your favorite genre to write?
Medieval/Historical/Fantasy

Favorite font to write with?
Tahoma is my favorite font, though for fancy writing I like Old English

Least-favorite writing prompt you've ever recieved?
"What's your favorite kind of food? Describe that."

What do you like better: Pens or Pencils?
Pens all the way!

Do you listen to Drama Music for inspiration? Yes, I most certainly do!

If you do, what is your favorite soundtrack to listen to?
My favorites are the Lord of the Rings and Narnia soundtracks.


Well, that was a lot of fun! Your turn!!! I tag any of you who are proud bearers of the title "Writer". Enjoy!
