Writer's Meme

[dizzojay]

Okay, I snagged this fromseptembers_coda because I can't resist a memey thingummybob, and this one looks like lots of fun!

Put a number in the comments and I’ll answer accordingly. The mission for those of us who answer the questions, should we accept it, is to stay positive about our writing and ourselves, but to also be fair about our shortcomings.

1. Of the fic you’ve written, of which are you most proud?
2. Favorite tense
3. Favorite POV
4. What are some themes you love writing about?
5. What inspires you to write?
6. Thoughts on critique
7. Create a character on the spot... NOW!
8. Is there a character you love writing for the most? The least? Why?
9. A passage from a WIP
10. What are your strengths in writing?
11. What are your weaknesses in writing?
12. Anything else that you want to know... (otherwise known as Fill in the Blank)

Meanwhile ...

Okay, number 2 is 'Favourite Tense'

I guess I would have to say past tense because that's probably what 95% of my fic is written in. In past tense there are the different variants such as past perfect, progressive and past whatever-the-hell-else, and I probably flit between all of them at various times. An OCD Grammarian could probably pull my use of past tense variables apart if they really looked hard enough!

Present tense is fun to use too, but I've only ever managed to keep that going for the length of a drabble or a small section of a longer story.

Thanks for playing x

Nice insightful reply hun, I'm a present tense girl, if you've ever read any of my stuff, it's glaringly obvious, lol. Mine could also be pulled to pieces by the grammar police, but hey, it's whatever we feel the creativity flow in, right? :)
