daidoji_giseiBorrowed from Rachel M.
1. What am I working on?
a) A novel based on the world I created for the rpg I ran last year. (Having done all that work worldbuilding, shouldn't I get some use out of it?)
b) Finishing my L5R fanfic series Always Coming Home.
2. How does my work differ from others in my genre?
My immediate, smart-ass answer is "My heroines' biggest problem is not deciding whether to get f*cked by a vampire or a werewolf. That's why my stuff will never sell." My non-smart-ass answer is, "I'm not sure if there is anything different about my work." At the moment I don't have a lot of non-L5R stuff to judge from.
3. Why do I write what I do?
It's a cliche, but I write what I would like to read. I love it when other people like it also, but in the end I am stuck writing for me. I envy people who can analyze a market trend and churn out stories that bring in $$$.
4. How does my writing process work?
I come up with the basic plot for the story, hammering out what the beginning, middle and end will all look like. Then I write the rough draft, which is slow because I think too much about trying to make every word perfect. Then I revise, revise, revise.
Take the meme if you like it.
