Okay, Ithildaeforever, here's the response to your questions:

Q. No. 1, When did you start writing? [Minus because of school/work/etc.]

Well... I first started legit writing I think around last year, when one of my friends asked me if I had a google account, and if I knew docs, and she then introduced me to the wonderful world of story collaborations. But before that, I had a story I was going to write, (and indeed, have yet to finish) but I only wrote like two chapters, and that was around two years ago, and the story has changed, and... yeah.   

Q. No. 2, What is the first book you read [or wrote] that made you cry?

The first time I remember crying because of a book was when I was when I must've been around eight or so and I was reading the Mighty Stallion series, (horse loving little girl that I was) and there was one part when the wild mustang had been captured and was being broken to be ridden in the Pony Express, and I was soooo angry and grieved at how the horse was being treated that I shed tears of anger.

Q. No. 3, Does writing energize you or exhaust you?

Sometimes one, sometimes another. Sometimes, (too rare) I get in this zone where I just write and the words keep on coming, and I just keep on writing, and... yeah.

Q. No. 4, What is your writing Kryptonite?

Procrastination. And the Pinterest. Well, the Pinterest is my weakness and my strength. I get a lot of good tips from the Pinterest, 

Q. No. 5, Do you try to be more original or to deliver readers what they want?  

My purpose in writing is to write that which has not been written before. But at the same time, I do like to add a few clichés in there, because they became cliché for a reason, right?

Q. No. 6, What other authors are you friends with and how do they help you become a better writer?

My friends Ithildaeforever, my friend BananaBam03, and my brother, (who counts as friend ;) ) OrganWorker. They've all helped me in different ways.  

Q. No. 7, If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Don't stress. Keep it cool. Punctuation.

Q. No. 8, What was the best money you've ever spent as a writer?

I haven't really spent any money as a writer that I can remember, but what I'd really like to do is go to the Lego store and get a bunch of mini-figures that look like my characters. 'Cause I looove Legos.

Q. No. 9, What's your favorite underappreciated novel?

WARS OF THE REALM SERIES BY CHUCK BLACK. THOSE BOOKS ARE VAWESOME.

Q. No. 10, How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have? 

Lol you mean quarter finished books? I have two.  

Q. No. 11, What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching before beginning a book?

I dunno, I do the research that needs to be done. I base a lot of my research on my own experiences, and like to research as I write.

Q. No. 12, What's the most difficult thing about writing characters from the opposite sex? 

The emotions and how certain things make them feel.  

Q. No. 13, How do you select the names of your characters?

Google translate when I need a name that means a certain thing, baby name books/websites/apps for pretty much anything else, and sometime when visiting a cemetery I'll see a name that looks particularly cool.  

Q. No. 14, Do you hide any secrets in your book that only a few people will find?

Yes. I love doing that. *possessions OrganWorker ;)* 

Q. No. 15, What was your hardest scene to write? [from any of the books or stories you have written] 

Oh, snap I don't know.

Q. No. 16, What is the most difficult part of your artistic process? 

Well, I guess it's writing scenes with a lot of emotion, because I kinda feel like I'm intruding the character's feelings and taking advantage of them. And I have some characters who do not like to open up and dig way down deep and have deep meaningful conversations with people and let other people get to know them. Thing is, these two characters also have very deep feelings and are smart people and could do very well in a deep conversation with another person, but one is kinda a dangerous assassin, and is wanted, and was kinda messed up by the villain, and just needs a lot of help but he won't accept help because what he really needs is a good friend who will help him out of the dark hole he's dug for himself, but he also really doesn't want to reveal that much of himself to another person because he fears that the person might betray him or take advantage of him and he does not want that to happen and.... :'( *I love you Brutus, but your shell is too thick*

Wow that got really long and turned into a rant of sorts about one of my characters. Oh well.

Q. No. 17, How long on average does it take you to write a book?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Three years. Three. Stinkin'. Years. Because I just don't suck it up and write when I need to and just settle for making up plot devices and bits and pieces of dialogue whilst lying in bed and on long car trips. But, I would like to say, that if I had immediately written down whatever came to my head at the moment of inspiration, I wouldn't have the literary gems I believe them to be now. The two main stories I have right now would be very cheesy and badly written. And these stories mean very much to me. I don't want them to be badly written. I really don't want them to be badly written.

Q. No. 18, Do you believe in writer's block?

Well, yeah. Who doesn't?

Q. No. 19, Which one of your characters do you feel closest to? [out of any that you have created]

Varian Vince. Of all my characters, he's the one I most want to be friends with, though his IQ is significantly higher than mine, and he's much more classy and smarter than I am, and probably wouldn't put up with some of my habits, but I still like him. I'd also enjoy being friends with Shadow, although he'd probably be pretty done with me at the end of a week too, him being not as patient with other people as Varien is.

Q. No. 20, And finally, what is one piece of advice that you would give to other aspiring writers?

Be yourself. Embrace your own writing style. If one person doesn't like how you write and thinks you should do it another way, don't listen to them. If that person doesn't like your writing, anther person will. But, you should also accept constructive criticism as well. By being prideful and not listening to advice, you can also miss out on some stuff that could really improve your writing. But as I said before: You do you. And remember, whatever grammar rules, and word construction you learn, it does not apply to dialogue, unless of course that's how your character speaks, but other than that, you can put whatever you so desire into dialogue.

And you can make your sentences as long you like; just add the proper punctuation 

And there we go. Anyone who reads this now knows how the basics of how I write and stuff.
