A Writer's Life for Me Tag

Hey all!

Today we are going to do this fun tag call "A writer's life for me". This was created by Sara Ella and Sara Crawford on you tube. I'll post a link down below for you guys to give this a shot on your blogs or book tube channels. I figure it was time to do something fun because I'm prepping some book reviews for the month of May instead of this one since I've been on and off with reading for the last couple of months. This tag is mainly to describe what time of writer I am and how my process goes in the writing. Let's begin!

- - - -

Question one: What kind of writer are you?

I am mainly a fiction writer. I dabble in screen writing, but I'm mostly a fiction writer. I mostly write Young adult paranormal, urban fantasy, and horror. There are mixes of other genres along with it, but those are my main crazed areas.

Question two: When did you start writing? What made you want to try it?

I've started experimenting with writing since I was eight years old. However, I didn't really get serious with it till I was seventeen and started my Soldiers and my Wolves series.

Question three: What inspires you to write?

Music, anime, books, history, forests, wolves, the paranormal, movies, video games, my family, my favorite human/writing partner.

Question four: What themes do you like to explore in your writing?

I like to explore the anti-hero and understand the importance of the Hero's journey. Along with the develop of the story's world and the growth of characters.

Question five: Are you a punster? Plotter? A little of Both?

It truly depends on the story I'm working on. With Soldiers, I'm a mixture of both, and with my wolves manga, I'm more of a plotter rather than both. Each story is a like a small child, its one way or another when you work on them individually.

Question six: Where are you at in your journey? Querying? Finalized? Publishing?

I am currently working on some drafts with the projects. Soldiers is currently on its third draft and I do have a first draft done for a random novella. I have hopes to attempt querying for agents sometime in the late fall and am currently seeking some beta readers to mingle with as we speak. :)

Question seven: Have you ever entered any writing contests? Finaled? Won?

Nope, I've never entered any writing related contests. I'm somewhat of a big coward when it comes to sharing my works to people. However, I'm slowly growing out of that fear. I've tried to show my works to websites like fiction press and watt pad. But, since I'm trying to publish my work in the near future, I took it all down. Sorry, not sorry...

Question eight: Who are your writer/ing heroes?

Victoria Schwab, Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe, Maggie Stiefvater, Sarah J Maas, Alexandra Bracken. (To name a few..).

Question nine: Have you ever been to a writing conference? Share your best or worst conference experience.

I've never been to one, but I will like to attend one eventually. :)

Question ten:  Top three advice you'd give to newbie writers.

1. Let yourself daydream and be loud with them no matter what people say to you.

2. It's okay to be afraid, you are worth all of the effort you put into your books.

3. Always keep a notebook and five pens/pencils in your person. Inspiration will spark like hellfire if you let it.
