Tagged: Writer Interview
Wow it sure has been a long time since I’ve posted on tumblr! Thanks @chaoticaddict, this looks like it might be a fun post. Although I feel that I should mention that I write veeeeery infrequently. >u>;
What made you start writing for the first time?
I don’t remember, honestly. Presumably that was a long time ago, and I don’t have a good memory for my early childhood. The first time I remember writing for fun/myself, it was because I had a scene with some of my RP characters very strongly in my mind and I just felt compelled to get it down on paper.
If you could only write about the ocean, the forest, or the desert for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?
Uhh… Honestly none of these? When I do write, I tend to focus on characters and character interaction rather than scenery. But I suppose if I had to pick, I’d say ocean because that aligns the closest to my characters’ usual settings.
Would you ever write a memoir?
Nah, I write flash fiction. Plus I have no interest in writing about myself. My life is very uninteresting and I know it.
Do you like writing by hand, or writing with a computer?
I prefer computer. I have written by hand before, but I just prefer the tidiness of revising digitally. No massive chunks of space taken up by alterations and less wasted paper that way.
Would you rather be popular among many readers, or unpopular but loved by critics?
I would definitely prefer being popular with many people. Critics are a smaller group and, well, I wouldn’t want to be on the bad side of large groups of people. I’ve been on the internet long enough to be sure of that. Give me the ridicule of critics over the ridicule of the masses any day, even if that means I would have to deal with the consequences of having a fandom.
Oh man, can you imagine people making fanart and shipping your characters??? What a crazy thought. I’m not quite sure how I’d feel about that, but at least it would be out of love, right?
Do you listen to music while you write? What is the best writing music?
Not usually, because most of the music I prefer has lyrics and they mess with my writing process. Although sometimes I like listening to the Undertale OST if I’m feeling stressed or need to drown out other ambient noises.
Do people you’ve met find their way into your writing?
Nope. My characters are purely fictional and, as far as I”m aware, are not based on anyone else.

Heart attacks symptoms are different for women. I recently learned this.
Everyone should know these things.
thanks to mainstream media and being unable to show breasts on TV, way too few people know about female signs of cardiac distress, and impending heart attacks. they only know about the “pain in the left arm” male symptom.
i had all these symptoms once and they sent me right to hospital
it was scary bc i didnt know these were the symptoms for female heart issues
Please, please, PLEASE, reblog this. i don’t know if I did save or called false alarm, with my boss’ life tonight. I felt I was being a bit paranoid, overreacting, but I told Mirage my thoughts and he, after reading over the article I showed him, immediately sprung into action and then shooed her off to the hospital. I don’t know if I did or not, but I knew she’d been super stressed. She’d off-handedly commented on her arm tingling and I asked her if she felt queasy on a hunch. I went to look at the symptoms and we went from there.
Holy shit, I didn’t even think the symptoms would be different between men and women. This is so hugely important and I don’t understand why we aren’t taught this.
One of the other symptoms that doesn’t get talked about , especially in women, is a “feeling of impending doom”. I am not even kidding, that is a legitimate diagnostic criteria.
Please - if you are feeling any of these symptoms and a sudden onset of “Holy shit the world is ending” do not let anyone tell you it’s “just nerves” or “just heartburn” or something.
I saw a post about “Please stop hitting on women while they’re at work” and I 100% agree with it, which is why I’m making a separate post to say please don’t hit on people in general when they’re at work.
I work at a bakery and we have this sweet 16 about to turn 17 year old boy who works up front of our store. He used to work at the place next door to us and, while he was there, a girl he was working with developed a bit of a crush on him and asked him out.
He said no, that he has a girlfriend (which she already knew) and thought they could just continue on being friends and coworkers.
Since beginning work at our bakery she stops in every single day and talks to him for the entirety of her 30 minute long break. He has told her multiple times that he’s at work and can’t stand around and talk and when I asked him if he was uncomfortable his response was a very relieved “Oh, God, yes.”
He’s tried to talk to one of the owners about it and his response was “You can talk to her after work” not realizing this poor boy is being made incredibly uncomfortable on a daily basis in the work place.
When we told him he could come into the back to find something to do if he needed to he was so incredibly thankful and relieved. This girl spent twenty minutes standing up front waiting for him to come back after he said he had to go do something. Twenty minutes in the front of the store ever after being told he can’t talk to her. He doesn’t know what would happen if he says that he doesn’t want to talk to her and is genuinely nervous every time she walks in.
The only reprieve he gets is from the bakers in the back saying “I get it. Come back here” because the Owners don’t understand that he, a male coworker,can be made uncomfortable by these unwanted advancements being made toward him.
Please.
This post isn’t made to undersell not hitting on women while they’re at work. I get that and that’s why this separate post exists.
ok but like…this is a thing that can happen it’s just super rare lol

these colors were undocumented when I was a child this is so fucking exciting
those mutations are very, very cool, but I would like to point out that the cat in the picture is not a blue-ginger tabby.
That is a dilute torbie. A strikingly dilute torbie, at that. She clearly has base coat orange where the orange stripes are, and faint but dark grey stripes in the areas where the base coat is pale grey.
This isn’t even that rare. Dilute/blue torties, calicos, torbies, and cali-cabbies/whatever you want to call them are definitely a thing. Maine coon breeders are apparently gaga for them.
I assume that the cat described in OP is a dilute or silver tortie, since /I/ would assume a “flame” would mean orange stripes. She doesn’t even have to be dilute, though. She could be a silver instead of a classic (brown) or black. Silverflame is an extremely plausible cat.
Here are some examples!
Dilutes:
^^^^ this LaPerm in particular is a beautiful example of the greyness with clear patches. And the shorthair above is another great example of clear ginger stripes. And #2 with the gorgeous fluff and the thin orange stripes? Shit I’d name that cat Silverflame. Please give me that cat.
This cat appears to have both black AND silver patches. She may be a chimera.
There are silver torbies.
^^^ this is a silver classic or perhaps even a marbled. Probably a marbled. Her markings would be very blobby, which explains the dark patches.
These cats are so strikingly beautiful I kinda wanna just die. btw I pulled a bunch of these photos from the Maine Coon Breeders & Fanciers Association so these are super legit.
THEY EVEN COME IN SMOKE. THIS IS A SMOKE TORBIE. LOOK AT HER. OMG.
This little cutie is the closest I can find to the blue-ginger tabby mutation as described in the illustration. She is listed as a silver-chocolate torbie by the breeder.

The young minds behind the anti-police violence resource Campaign Zero launched an online tool on Monday that shows activists how to resist President Donald Trump’s agenda at the local level.
“Our States,” a website that Mic previewed exclusively, gives users a state-by-state breakdown of bills that, if enacted, would strip civil rights and other legal protections from communities of color, women and LGBTQ people.
As Trump stumbles through his first months in office, Republican-controlled state legislatures are considering laws that would criminalize protests, restrict protections against LGBTQ discrimination and limit women’s access to safe and legal abortions, among other proposals.
“The purpose of Our States is to ensure that citizens know the legislation being proposed in their respective state, so that they can mobilize to either support or oppose it,” activist and Campaign Zero co-founder Deray Mckesson said in a statement to Mic. “The stakes are high.” Read more (3/27/17 10 AM)
