Aiden was kind enough to tag me for the Wysteria Writer Tag!
Le rules:
1. Thank the writer who nominated you.
2. Answer the ten questions asked.
3. Add ten (writing or book related) questions of your own.
4. Nominate people.
1: What is your least favorite book, and why?
AH DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE. no but really I don't actually have one. Even the ones I would probably say meant a lot to me as a child so I can't say they aren't still special. *shrug*
2: Favorite Author?
*glances at my 'favorite authors' list* Um... Right now, I feel like I have to say Rick Riordan? Because I've been reading so many of his books lately and they've helped me get out of reading slumps and yeah. But overall it's probably Lois Lowry, because her books have had such an influence on me.
3: If you could only write one more novel, what would it be?
Probably "Bear", which is my WIP. Because I feel like it's everything I've ever dreamed of writing.
4: What is your favorite genre to write in?
I think I have to say fantasy because I love being able to just make up my own world and not have to worry about research. It's the best thing.
5: Do you model your characters after people you know, or do you try to avoid it?
I don't typically base my characters off of my friends (anymore, at least *glares at past self*), but I don't necessarily avoid it. If one of my friends has a trait I think my character would have, I'll use it, or if it's a little quirk my friend does, like a nervous habit or whatever, sometimes I use it, but I don't go out of my way to put it in a character.
6: How long does it take for you to finish a novel?
... *studio audience laughter* Since I was 11, I have not completed a novel. And that wasn't really a novel, in my opinion. So... we'll just let that hang there for awhile.
7: Do you often listen to music while you write? What kind?
All kinds. Every kind. Music all the time, every day, writing or doing school or whatever, I have headphones on. Mom says I have a constant soundtrack to my life. I tend to agree. But really, while I'm writing I have a tendency to use movie soundtracks because they don't have lyrics and don't distract me.
8: How often and for how long do you write?
I try to write every day, but typically it's in short spurts. Maybe 30 minutes at a time. Probably not the best system, but life has picked up speed lately, and so writing has to be put wherever I can fit it.
9: Current project you're working on?
I currently have 2, Bear and Deliverance. Bear is a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Snow White and Rose Red", when a girl named Whitney takes her sister's place in a curse and determines to free the duke from his curse. Deliverance is a dystopian retelling of the Biblical story of Moses, where Ezra discovers he's not who he thought he was and must save his people from slavery.
10: Which of your characters is your least favorite and why?
Ugh, that has to be Malevolent, the villain from Twelve. She's just... awful and I hate her so much *scream*.
My questions:
1. If you could rewrite a book, what would it be?
2. If your book could be made into a movie, who would you cast?
3. You get to spend the day with one fictional character. Who is it?
4. What was the first book that influenced you?
5. (stealing this one from Aiden) Do you listen to music while you write (or read)?
6. Which of your own characters do you relate to most?
7. If you were to write a spin on any historical time period, what would it be?
8. Least favorite genre to write in?
9. Do you write poetry?
10. Favorite book-to-movie (or television) adaptation?
And there we go!

~ Mia
-flail- I got tagged again!
ReplyDelete1. If you could rewrite a book, what would it be?
Oooh. I've never thought about that, really. I'm not sure I would rewrite a whole book, but there are a few books that I'd rewrite the endings to. xD
2. If your book could be made into a movie, who would you cast?
...Idk. I know a lot of people do that, and I've thought about doing it, but it takes so much time you know, and I'm lazy. xP But if I ever get around to doing it, I'll let you know.
3. You get to spend the day with one fictional character. Who is it?
HOW DO I CHOOSE? D: Possibly Lucy Pevensie. She's like, my all-time favorite fictional character.
4. What was the first book that influenced you?
The Bible. But if we're talking about /fictional/ books, then Idk, maybe The Boxcar Children.
5. (stealing this one from Aiden) Do you listen to music while you write (or read)?
Not while I read, but almost always while I write. -nods-
6. Which of your own characters do you relate to most?
Hmm... I relate to all of them, I think, on different levels. That is, with certain attributes of them. I don't actually fully relate to any one character, because I try my best to give my characters personalities that our different from mine so I don't feel like I'm...idk, cheating? But if I had to choose one, then it'd probably be a character-in-progress, Cassie. She isn't fully developed, but I already find myself relating to her in many different ways. XP
7. If you were to write a spin on any historical time period, what would it be?
"A spin"? I'm not sure I understand...
8. Least favorite genre to write in?
I haven't written in very many genres, but I think it'd probably be horror.
9. Do you write poetry?
Sometimes, yes.
10. Favorite book-to-movie (or television) adaptation?
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. They did such a good job with that. But the Lord of the Rings trilogy was also fantastic. -nods-
Great post, keep it up. ^.^ And I always approve of the gifs you use, so don't stop. They're awesome.
