This boils down to 'family,' found or otherwise, for basically all of my MCs. Even Portia's story revolves around her coming to terms with whether or not she loves Cat. #writingA

I absolutely love writing kissing scenes. I look forward to writing a pairs first kiss.

In terms of anticipation and excitement, it's the story-specific major drama moments or set pieces that inspired me to start in the first place. The character interaction scenes are the real heart of what I love, but the THRILL comes from those big ones. #writingA

My stories stick to past tense. I only use present tense in RP, since there's a general understanding of events playing out as you act rather than being a constructed story. I don't like literature written in present tense. Tickles my brain the wrong way. #writingA

It's usually while I'm watching something, movie or on my computer. Often a 'oh that's neat, but they didn't do what I thought they should, so what if...' boom. #writingA

It's more that this doesn't come up for me. I need to tell stories. I wish I could make a living off it, but I need to do it. Even when I was on my 6 year block of 'writing,' I was still doing RP and character-based stuff. Just how my brain works. #writingA

The big scenes I start the story for are most of the motivation. The character interactions are the bread and butter each day. #writingA

Back when I was trying for trad pub, I just really wanted the recognition and had hopes of making a living off it. #writingA

I have generalized anxiety and frequent depressive episodes. Writing is escapism and self-comfort for me. I need a little bite to make the escape convincing, but overall I'm there to enjoy something better. Stories that allow me to vent negativity are fewer, harder. I tend to spiral. #writingA

To get financial stability back so I can continue publishing Silverwolf (still needs proofing pass and cover). #writingA

Consistency. I used to be a 'mood' writer. I couldn't write if I didn't feel it. That led to burn out and despair, and not writing for 6 years. Once I latched onto my 400 words day thing, I've been consistently writing for years again now. Everything else is the refinement of practice. #writingA

Prehistorical migration patterns of humans in what-we-now-call-Lebanon and proto-afroasiatic languages.

Whole lotta reading to confirm 'We dunno, dawg, shit's fucked.'

Advice to other writers: don't make a character 9000 years old in an otherwise realistic-Earth setting.

From Demon King Daughter, Seina absolutely could be an MC. She has ALL the ingredients. Heroic, sincere, funny, cool power, but has her foibles. If I had the bandwidth to produce a Seina-focused novel, I'd do it. She's awesome. Would probably be some kind of light sequel to the series. #writingA

That’s so hard to choose!

I think it has to be the epic climax of the series, where suddenly—

Oh wait, no… What am I doing?

I’ll take the “It’s totally not an obligatory hot springs episode” chapter from Book 3, thanks!

I mean... to be real, all of them. I have a desperate need to see my stories realized in visual media.

Just to pick one for the answer: the 'god slice' from a vital moment in NICEF. I'm being vague to avoid ruining a major scene.

Lunaris would likely try to talk Amon into a piercing. Amon would be very averse to this because of his masks.
Cole would grab a brand new ear piercing.
Blake would get a small walk-in tattoo of a heart with Cole’s name inside it. Dorian would spin the tattoo shop’s “get whatcha get”

Reflected how poor Cat is in Tangled Web by the fact that she's using her mom's MP3 player and wired earbuds. No, none of her classmates even recognize what they are unless she explains, and she doesn't talk much at school. #writingA

My proof reader reacted to part of the climax of Demon King Daughter book 2 as a 'brutalist masterpiece' and I was both flattered and concerned XD (my proof reader universally prefers my villain scenes, too, which makes me happy, and also 'why...?') #writingA

The band is drinking in the recording studio!!
Lunaris has a concoction of marijuanna syrup mixed with sprite. They aren’t hiding the fact that they are happily pain free and are up and dancing with Amon who is drinking a whiskey coke in a paper cup.

Blake and Cole each took a sip of
