Meme!

Hi, welcome to the Writer's Meme! First, describe yourself in three-to-five words.

Offbeat awkward defiant dreamer.

Okay, good! Now, how long have you been writing for?

Since I COULD write, pretty much. As long as I can remember.

There's always the dreaded subject of "Writer's Block." What do you do to overcome it?

Usually I just wait and work on another story in the meantime... *sigh* Curse you, writer's block...

Okay! So, what do you like to write about most?

Fantasy, yayyyyyyy!

People with strange relationships and world views.

Do you have a favorite-FAVORITE author? Or just somebody/something inspiring to get you motivated?

I adore a lot of authors, but some of my absolute favorites are: Robin McKinley, Douglas Adams, Alison Croggon, Garth Nix, Tamora Pierce, Jasper Fforde, Jane Austen, and Tanith Lee. They've all inspired me in one way or another.

Alright, writers tend to "baby" certain characters. What's one or two characters you simply could not live without, currently?

Are you kidding? I couldn't live without ANY of them. That's like asking a parent who their favorite child is...

GASP. You're faced with the dilemma of killing one character off! Which one is it, and why?

I'm not telling you who's dying. A few do. Nobody really major...except once...

Finally, you're stuck on a deserted island with a character. Who is it, and why?

I'd get stuck with Rothian, because Rothian is epic all around. Plus he could just shift to another dimension using his mirror and then we wouldn't be stuck anymore!
