That Last One Was Harder Than It Probably Should Have Been - Tumblr Posts

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
