For The Get-to-know-the-writer Ask Meme, Red And Grey!

For the get-to-know-the-writer ask meme, red and grey!

Thanks for the ask

Red: What type of writer’s block do you experience the most?

I often lose motivation in a story when it's moving slow. I like excitement, and even though I know it's coming (because of a loose plan that I somewhat follow) it's hard to get myself out of a ditch. Also, emotional ruts: I'm a very emotional person and if I'm not in the mood to write, I won't be able to do it at all. (That was a very round about way to answer that. I hope it made sense and answered the question in the end)

Grey: What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

I don't really look for writing tips much, so I'm not sure how many I actually follow. I think I'm good at showing not telling, because a beautifully painted scene is fantastic for me

He sounds like he'd be fun to hang out with. Just be in the company of and just sit in silence

Reblog if it's okay for people to come into your askbox and ask about your OCs

Even if I’ve never spoken to them, even if I don’t know them from a hole in the wall, even if they’re on anon, people asking questions about my OCs make my day.

Character Question 33

What is their favorite fairytale? Least favorite?

Bella: The original sleeping beauty is her least favourite, for obvious reasons. If sleazy kings could not take advantage of helpless women, that'd be great. And let's not encourage cannibalism, even if your husband is not nice to you.

Mulan is probably her favourite. Where a self confident woman dupes an entire army, fights, wins, takes care of her family, and then comes back and can be happy with herself is a compelling and inspiring story for her.

Freddie: Stupidity frustrates him endlessly, so the fairytale about the sausage, the bird and the dog/mouse (or something like that) is probably his lead favourite. They disrupt the order they have and all suffer for it which infuriates him to no end.

His favourite is the stonecutter one. (Where a stonecutter wishes to become grand things and the mountain he's carving on, which is magic, and likes him, grants his wishes, before he ends up a stonecutter again because that's where he's happiest) He likes the idea of dreaming beyond your place in life. Find a boon in life and twist it to your advantage. Use observational skills to find and best something greater than you. 

Zach: Snow White is his least favourite. Can we not bully people based on things they can't control? That would be nice. Again, cannibalism is not a great thing to attempt. And putting down women is very old fashioned and something he doesn't like. It's okay to be protective, as long as women are independent and able to rise to wherever they wish.

(I'm terrible with remembering names) There's a fairytale where this woman's husband and the father of her child is taken away because of a curse, so she goes on this incredibly long journey, wearing through a pair of iron shoes and being helped by relatives of the sun and moon. Zach loves the perseverance and kindness shown by the characters, so this is probably his favourite.

Bella: As a fellow Ravenclaw, she appreciates her love for reading and would love to spend hours talking about books. She thinks Lynn could stand to be a little more out there and not just stay in the background with a book, because even though she spent most of her time like that, she's been so much happier spending time with people. And ace spec solidarity!

Freddie: Her intelligence is commendable, but she's a little too much of a doormat for his tastes. He can sympathize with her, however, having spent a little less that half of his life without parents, since he doesn't really count his foster parents despite all they've done for him.

Zach: Yet another person he struggles to relate to. She's... okay for him. She's nice, and he doesn't feel defensive around her, which is always a plus. He'd probably try to read a book or two to have something to talk about her with, and he might succeed with those one or two books, but his capacity to remain quiet is very low.

day five: lynn

introducing lynn! there are very few braincells in this group, but she can always be counted on to possess both an academic and a creative one! maybe not a social interaction brain cell though. when lynn was a kid, her parents died in a car crash and she was sent to an orphanage. lynn never really connected with the kids her age, so she retreated into all the books she could find. lynn loves writing and creating new worlds in her head, and that doesn’t change when she makes friends at the boarding school.
