Thank you for the tag, dearie!

Rules:
 1.) Answer the questions.
 2.) Tag two people.
 3.) 
Have fun! Make the answers long or as short as you like.

1. When did you discover you enjoyed writing?

Ever since I was little, I always loved stories, I would pore over every book I could lay my hands on and let my imagination paint pictures in my mind. It was when there where no books where I verbally told my stories or imagine a world of my own, but I wouldn't remember them so I wrote them down. That was the beginning.

2. What are your strengths in writing?


My vocabulary and the details I write. I would sometimes research upholstery and fashion to better describe places and ways of building the world I write. I also love to write dialogue.

3. Your weaknesses?


Repetition. I get so paranoid that I overused a pronoun, word or phrase that I constantly check back to see if I need to find something new to describe something. It gives me a headache and I need double reassurance from others that I didn't repeat myself.

4. What is your favourite genre to write in?


I adore writing fantasy, romance and sci-fi. I try to write in a lot of humor but my sense of funny is a little off the beat to my readers. I can't write horror, because you yourself have to narrow fear into your work and I can't do that. I'd write supernatural but I'm afraid of preaching my beliefs into my work. XD


5. Do you consider yourself a good writer?


I could get better. Every artist is a downer on auto-criticizing but if it makes someone happy/grateful/excited, I know I'm doing something right.

6. Do you like to let a lot of people in real life read your work?


My sisters where my first beta readers. Then came along my friends and they started trying them out. But now that I'm older, I try to keep it to myself.

7. How often do you write?


Every chance I get. XD I write more than 5,000 words a week, handwritten or typed.

8. Who are your favourite authors? Why?


Mark Twain, for the complex simplicity in his writing that makes even the dreariest of situations an adventure, J.M. Barrie and J.R.R Tolkien for the breathtaking worlds and the magic they created in them, Jane Austen, for the elegant and humble poise of 19th century romances, and
Rick Riordan for turning something everyone knew and making it new again.

9. Do you have any OCs? If you do, describe your favourite one.


Ah, I doubt anyone would really care but it's Landon Lovelocke from my Thorn Hearts and Rose Collection story. She was a rather lonely and well moraled child until a tragic event caused her parents to be separated from her until her father is cured. The ability for her to find a place in her heart for doing good for others while going numb from the inside out makes her the strongest character I've ever written. She's the kind of person I'd love to be.

10. If you write fanfics, for what fandoms do you do so?


Hetalia may be the only fandom I've ever written for fanfiction-wise.I feel uncomfortable with any other fandom, and I can't take it seriously.

11. Do you perfer writing by hand or typing?


Both, but typing is easier, and you don't have to try to decipher my horrible handwriting.

12. Are you a huge critic when it comes to writing?


I try not to critic too much and I'm happy as long as they have good grammar and a basic understanding of a story layout/character creation. However, me being a hardcore fantasy goer, I tend to not read works that are too short or don't have enough details. A story without details is just a sketch. Sure it may be fast and quick but it's just a sketch. Quality over quantity.

13. What format do you most like to write in? (Prose, short story, poetry, vignettes, etc?)


It's poetry, long stye, and short. I don't suppose I write prose... do I? (O-o)Z
