A sarcastic dork who makes fun of a content creator's video script, interjecting herself when he lies to the audience. She also likes ramen a bit too much.

I don't think as I write dialogue, mainly because if I think too much, it doesn't sound natural. Much like a normal conversation, you don't think too much, unless something puzzling comes up. You only slow down there. Dialogue is kind of like a game of table tennis you want to keep hitting the...

Dragon's Dogma 1. I keep coming back just to see how stupidly OP my character can be (also Gransys is pretty relaxing without the music).

Yep, usually ambient music (preferably by Cryo Chamber). I want to feel like a monk in a monastery writing a scripture.

Both. I just like to find a bit of nuance in stories that do both. Berserk is one of the best examples, as the world itself influences Guts, but also he influences it inadvertently. Small decisions, such as leaving The Band of the Hawk, paved the road for Griffith's self-destruction, betrayal...

But I will personally ask about what was originally posted... WHAT IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS THAT?!

Well, it would have to be reading a previous draft of a story I am working on that felt like generic, isekai garbage instead of something interesting. Also, I felt like it was going straight into Millennial writing. That draft was so bad I threw it down to the lowest circle of Hell itself (which...

Well, if I did throw them in the volcano, they unleash the most cursed thing all of the realms...! CRINGE

Yes--the complete ones at least. The discarded drafts... Actually, they have magical seals around them for a reason; I don't want them getting out. > SHIVERS

I just set up a premise, get a few ideas of how the story goes, write out every plot point, and... WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?! It's now off the rails as following them ruined the narrative flow. In all seriousness though, I just give a basic premise and work from there. I really hate outlining; I...

Funny thing is, when I write, I tend to just play out their interactions in my head. It's sort of like they're actors in my own mind. I write out the scene and setting, and just show how they talk, act, and interact with their surroundings. It's pretty fun too, and I find them more believable...

I feel a bit of guilt, and a bit of heartache as that character I wrote was someone I enjoyed because of how close they were to the MC. I realize that yeah, I do have to kill them off as it is important for the MC's growth as a person. If life were to be ideal to the MC, they would forget the...

Google docs. Mainly because I like to write on my phone using a wireless keyboard with a phone doc and like writing for a mental break at work. Plus, Microsoft Word in terms of its mobile app is just BAD. No really, the UI and navigation is abysmal compared to the mobile app for Google Docs. I...

AI is useful for pointing out grammatical mistakes and plot consistency errors (NotebookLM has been quite useful for that and prevented logical errors within my works). However, anything other than that, I absolutely abhor. Having an AI do something for you (i.e. writing your story, creating...

Spending way too much time being so hyper-focused on one worldbuilding subject that I overdo it (I literally spent months studying scientific articles regarding circumbinary planets for a fictional setting and several more months making the mechanics for a TTRPG that I postponed development...
