8, 17, 18 for the writeblr ask game :D !

8. What is your process for picking names for your OCs?

I don't have a concrete one. For pretty much all the characters here, it was very sporadic: the main 3 are inspired by people I know, Fera came from a typo, Victor-Hecate came from their stand in title VH coupled with a gender defying name, and Nala just.. felt right. If I do get stuck on a name, I google names with x meaning and look on baby naming websites.

17. What writing advice has helped you grow recently as a writer?

I unfortunately am terrible at remembering important things, like advice. It's not a super recent thing, but I learned character development is very important. It makes writing a lot easier when you know the intricacies of the characters you're writing (it does mean I have to rewrite the first few chapters of my book again to fix character inconsistencies and make them more 3 dimensional)

18. List five positive things that you like about yourself as a writer.

Can I skip this one😅

I'll do my best

1. I can write decent combat! Or at least, I like the way I write it

2. If I'm in a writing mood, I can write upwards of 1000 words in one sitting

3. I like to do a ton of research for characters! For a crossover au with @pagesofcursive (of course) I researched different forms of ice for a character who would've done the same thing

4. I'm able to write passably outside my comfort zone

5. I think I'm pretty good with descriptions and show don't tell when needed

I agree with everyone above. I love the interaction!! Vent about your day, your stories, or ask about mine! Anything.

reblog if you want more interaction w your lovely followers

Bonding over friends denseness in regards to love. Amazing

"I don't think he heard a word I said."

Dialogue Prompt | Paragon | Nate Teagan & Ryan Reese

-----

"Did you get a chance to talk to Shaun?" Nate asked, stepping into the kitchen.

Reese turned around, dish towel in hand. He slung it over his shoulder and leaned against the counter. "Yeah, I talked to him."

"And?"

Reese laughed without humor. "I don't think he heard a word I said."

"Of course he didn't," Nate sighed, shaking his head. The fire paragon sat at the kitchen table and wondered, "What the hell are we going to do with those two?"

"I'm not sure, Teags. Maybe we could just let them figure it out themselves."

The silence lasted about three milliseconds before the two men busted out into full on laughter. It was a miracle the cabinets didn't rattle with the force.

"Figure it out themselves, that's a good one Reese."

"Yeah, I guess after four years it's unlikely, huh?"

"Just a bit."

"Well, we can't force them to ask each other out."

"But god, wouldn't it be so much easier if we could?"

"Yeah," Reese chuckled. "Yeah, it would."

Concept: Instead of having to think, a fully-formed novel outline magically appears in my brain.
