Rules: Answer 11 questions, add 11 questions of your own, tag 11 people.

Thank you for tagging me! I’m not much of a writer when it comes to actually writing(I just like to think of plot points in my head, write the chronology down on wikis, etc, but never get around to writing them into an actual book), so some of the answers might be a bit… lacking, but what the heck, it looks fun so let’s go!!!

1. Who’s the first OC you remember creating?

I don’t remember her name, but she had short pixie cut of a black hair and blue eyes. She was a bit of a tomboy, and she was a huge dumbass whose problem solving skills consisted solely of running headfirst, full speed ahead, to said problem. That being said, she was very skilled at what she did and she did her job well. She carried about the same energy that lots of big dogs, especially golden retrievers, have.

2. What’s your favorite genre of music?

I like listening to Rock, although I can never tell its subgenres apart(the sound of booing and “faaaaake faaaaaaaan” can be heard from a distance)

I also like K-indie music and sappy love songs, so I guess my tastes vary a lot!

3. What was the plot for the first story you ever wrote?

The very first? Er, you shouldn’t expect much in the plot department, because I wrote these two stories when I was 7 or 8. One was the standard fare about princes and princesses, in which a princess was cursed and had her identity stolen by an evil witch, so she had to break the curse and prove her real identity to her court. One notable thing about the story was that the princess ended up giving her betrothed prince the boot for being fooled by the witch, and moved on for someone with better facial recognition skills.

The other story was about a group of astronauts who, while exploring an black hole, fell through an wormhole and ended up in the Cretaceous period(I was a nerdy kid). Their goals were to survive, gather resources, and find out a way to return to our modern age. I got around to the part where they adopt a baby dinosaur, then lost interest in the story around then.

4. What’s a line from your current WIP that you’re really proud of?

This was written in Korean, so I have no idea how it’d sound in English. It’s part of the internal monologue from a rather hamfisted supervillain-wannabe character, so naturally the writing itself is a bit hamfisted, but I think it fits her character.

She would envision, then, making an incision on this society’s facade, and showing the filth and rot within. Lift up the rotten log, and watch the bugs scuttle about. She would be the cut to drain the puss, so that the skin can grow again. She’d be the flood. She’d be the storm.

5. What’s your favorite part of writing a book?

For me it’s thinking up of the characters, hands down. I just like giving them their own skills and quirks, and I immensely enjoy(almost to an unhealthy degree) giving them flaws. In fact, usually my first step in character creation is to give them each their own tragic flaw in the literary sense. Coming up with their backstory and seeing how it shapes their future decisions is pretty great, too.

So yeah, I really like making characters, and lots of my ‘writing’ are just excuses to see them come to life.

6. If you could sit down and have coffee/tea/whatever with one author for an hour, who would it be?

Agatha Christie. I just really love her. If I could keep her brain in a jar to make her write new stories, I would. She truly is the one and only, the irreplaceable, queen of crime.

7. If you have more than one WIP, which two characters from two of your own different WIPs would you want to set up together for a blind date?

Tasha and Patricia would be good for each other, if not for the fact that Patricia is happily dating in her own canon. For hilarity’s sake, I think it’d be fun to put Jiye and Ezra in the spot, and watch them try not to kill each other. They’d feel this instinctual, mutual hatred the moment they see each other, and their egos are too big to let that slide.

8. If you had 24 hours to do absolutely anything you wanted, free of charge, what would you do?

My first instinct was ‘space travel’, but those usually take more than 24 hours, sooooooo…. I’ll take the next best thing. Jet ride to statosphere. I’d hire a pilot to fly me 20,000 meters up in the air, and admire space and Earth from there. Then I’d pay back my student loans, buy something really nice for my family, have a really extravagant dinner, and donate to a charity or two.

9. If one of your characters had 24 hours to do absolutely anything they wanted, free of charge, what would they do?

Jiye would use that to buy equipment and infrastructure to further her world-domination plan, and get herself a nice secret lab.

PyeongHwa would use most of that money for his family, then grab a superhero’s fan-meeting ticket for himself.

Micaiah… surprisingly has not much of a want for material things, or rather, her problems aren’t something money can fix.

Khyrim would spend the day shopping for trinkets, clothing, musical instruments and other frivolous things he couldn’t spend on normally.

Patricia would make a donation to the orphanage she grew up in.

AJ would just want a nice day out with his ‘Uncle’, poor kid.

10. If you could steal an OC from any Writeblr and put them in your own WIP, which OC would it be? (Credit the Writeblr you stole them from, please. And don’t actually put them in your story without the Writeblr’s permission!)

I don’t actually follow ton of writeblrs, and while I do know some great writeblrs with great ocs, I’m not mutuals with them so I feel too shy to @ them. So, I’ll just skip this question.

11. What are you doing right now to pursue your passions?

Not much, sadly. If we’re including passions other than writing, I’m trying to get in my studying habit.
