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!
