T: Describe your perfect writing conditions.

A completely interesting question. I spend a lot of time on my couch and my laptop on a TV dinner table with a notebook by my side, including lots of pillows. I enjoy having the television on - though I'm really not focused on the screen, its more for the background noise. I tend to do a lot of writing at night, where my mind is able to unwind from the days events to take a break and enjoy its self. At night I feel things are calm and collected with the stars and moon shining bright into my window.

So many choices? OK, how about I. Which fic has been the hardest to write? and why?

[yonkyu.livejournal.com]

A wonderful question. Its my current story that I'm writing. Its a very controversial topic, but makes complete sense to me; regarding my background in the education field and working with many children that grow with typical development and non-typical development. Its hard to send out a message of why its important to be aware of because its something that can happen to anyone, but hard to stomach without having the education and understanding of the topic. Its a life changing topic but can and how a beautiful outcome through love, support, guidance, trust, and family.

E. Share one of your strengths.

Not surprised this was your choice. :)

I would say my strengths for writing would be writing and describing emotions, scenes, and characterizing each character to how I see them. I find them to be an area that I understand on a unique and respectful manner. My own emotions I feel I'm able to have complete knowledge of expressing them on paper. I feel I have an eye for details about the world around me and the want to share its beauty with others. I try my best to stay in character and show them how they are in real life even if I might be guessing what these characters are really like.
