Do you have a favorite snack while writing?

honestly i love having me some energy drinks to sip on while writing bc it somehow gets my brain in the right condition to write? other than that i don't rlly have snacks while writing tbh. it's more important for me to have beverages while writing.

Do you make faces to help you describe expressions as you write?

I GENUINELY DO. i furrow my brows a lot when i write in general like even answering this ask i had to tell myself to relax my brows and not frown lmao i'm a writer that puts myself in my characters' shoes emotionally, which is also why it can be tough sometimes to get through some scenes, but i bet you that's why i make facial expressions while writing njkdfnd
