Writers Meme

[potentiality_26]

While I'm here flailing around with my million WIPs, I figured why not do this writers meme frozen_delight is doing?  Give me a number (or more than one) and I'll answer.

1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing.

2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?

3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?

4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?

5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?

6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)

7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.

8. Why do you choose to write?

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?

It depends on how clear what I'm writing is in my head. If I have general idea of where it's going but I don't know it word for word, I'd say about 1000. If I've gone over it a couple of times and I know exactly what I'm writing, more like 2500 or 3000.

20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of?

“Cheer up,” Jefferson said. “She seems to-” adore you to a terrifying and frankly unreasonable degree- “like you too.”

This elicited a grumble.

“Really! I think you’ve got a shot!”

If looks could kill, Jefferson would be cinders- and since in this realm looks could and often did kill, and he felt a definite warming in his toes, he chose not to press the issue further.

Technically that's five sentences, sorry. I'm particularly proud of this (and the fic it comes from) because I sort of tend toward angst, and when I manage to write something that makes people laugh I'm always very proud of myself.
