charmingcatastrophe asked: What's your favourite book/author, and what's your dream job?
Okay, so, for favorite book, I’d say that The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley (pitch here, for her other stuff here), the Kencyrath series by PC Hodgell (pitch here), and Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (I haven’t done a rec for that one, but hit me up if you’re curious) are all strong contenders. Aaaaand those people would be my go-to’s for favorite authors too…although I’m sure that in a few minutes I’ll come up with half a dozen other things I should have put down.
For my dream job, I would ideally like to work as a doctor in an ER at a Trauma One hospital and write novels in my free time. Adler wants me to quit everything and write full time, but I get weird after a solid day of writing, I don’t want to know what I’d be like after multiple months.
send an ask: get to know your author
1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?
2) what work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?
3) what order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?
4) favorite character you’ve written
5) character you were most surprised to end up writing
6) something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change now
7) when asked, are you embarrassed or enthusiastic to tell people that you write?
8) favorite genre to write
9) what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?
10) write in silence or with background noise? with people or alone?

16) are there any characters who haunt you?
17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?
18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?
19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?
20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?
21) what do you think when you read over your older work?
22) are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?
23) any obscure life experiences that you feel have helped your writing?
24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

Anonymous asked: e, w, & q?
Oooh, yay! From this ask meme.
e - easiest person to talk to
Adler. Always Adler. Or my mom.
q - questions you’re always asked
“And how do I spell that?” if I’m using my full name, or “And what does that stand for?” if I’m using R. Also I have a lot of people ask me about college and my plans for the future, to which I have to say…look, folks, I’m a college student, I’m struggling to plan my next meal, what do you want from me.
w - worst habit
Procrastination. Right this moment, I’m procrastinating a report, a presentation, and a poster, all of which are due in about ten days. You’re enabling me, which I appreciate.
