13. how did you come up with your first fic?

 my first published fic, (the one that's still published) is titled Youth, and it's because I adored Spencer Kane so much and I wanted to date him, and thus, Emma was born.

14. Post a line from a WIP.

 ❝"No!" Faith attempted to shout at him, but her voice cracked. She furrowed her eyebrows together and sighed. "I'm tired of you," and she motioned the rest of the camp, "and everyone else staring at me because I chose to help someone. You have made me feel like a monster, Shane! Whether it was intentional or not. I made my parents proud by being a doctor, it amazed them that some high school dropouts produced a doctor, then people like you made me throw it all away! I don't like it, Shane. I like helping people, and worse case scenario, I did my part by cleaning the blood."❞

 an altercation between Faith and Shane at the quarry camp
