1. Link back to the person who started the tag Thanks, Ellie! ❤ (She’s having a fun Christmas book exchange over on her blog, so go join the fun!) 🙂
2. List the ten Simple Writer’s questions
3. Tag as many writing friends as you’d like!

The questions:

1. How do you like to write? (By typewriter, pen, or computer?) Being a visual and kinesthetic-geared poet: first draft with pencil, then edit on the computer and flip-flop back and forth until I’m satisfied. (I usually type out stories)

Side note: I reaaaaaaally want to get a typewriter sometime. Think of the aesthetic of poetry drafts typed out all fresh and inky and beautiful.*rapturous sigh*


2. Do you prefer to write in the first or third person? First person! I’m a selfish gal and like writing from my own POV or directly from someone else’s. ;P

3. Do you enjoy doing one POV or multiple POVs? One or two POVS.

4. What’s your favorite genre to write about? Pretty obvious: poetry. I also like flash fiction, bildungsroman, and contemporary children’s/YA fiction.

5. Who is your strongest writing supporter? I’m blessed with so many kind people who encourage me to write! My my blog/internet writer friends, my family, local poetry pal, and of course Ellie encourage and support my love for writing. Initially, the Story Embers poetry community guided me when I was a secret beginner poet and then inspired me later on to embrace poetry a part of my identity.

Also, one of my strongest writing supporters is the inner bookworm in me. I want to read a certain type of poem/story and my little bookworm inside gets so excited and happy when she likes it. And that’s encouraging. 🙂

6. What is one thing that gives you inspiration to write? Nature. God’s creation praises Him with so much beauty. It makes my heart happy and inspires me to create.

7. Do you like revision? YES!!….NO!!!! I like to edit when I’m feeling creative. When I have writer’s block, editing is the worst because I know I don’t like something, but I have no clue how to fix it. *scribbles a blackout poem as creative therapy*

8. Poems or stories? Writing poems! I equally love reading poetry and stories though. Different moods, different genres.

9. Can you listen to music while you write? Absolutely. Movie soundtracks, calming orchestral/piano music, and sometimes songs with lyrics help me get into the writing mood. My current favorite piece to listen to while writing a poem is Glassworks- opening by Philip Glass.

10. Present or past tense? Present! I find it easier to write vividly in present tense.
