11. Uhhhhh. Aforementioned Of The Wilds, of course. In no particular order: N. K. Jemisin, K. Vale Nagle, Jess E. Owen, Kandrel, Rob Baird, Becky Chambers, Jim Butcher, Martha Wells, Brandon Sanderson, Ann Leckie, Mercedes Lackey, and plenty of others. I'm not going to narrow it down anymore. :D
10. I have a cheap writing laptop with absolutely no distractions installed or allowed. I sit on the couch with a stand for posture. Atmospheric music (my go-to is Robert Rich) that sits in the background. Lemongrass ginger tea. Lemongrass candle. The scents and sounds put me right in the headspace.
9. Now, if it's something small, like I'm looking for a perfect word, a character or place name, or a snippet of description I can't remember? Rather than losing momentum, I put it in [brackets] and keep in the flow of writing. When I have more freedom in editing, I run a search for the brackets.
9. Depends why I'm stuck. If it feels like I'm slogging in a scene with no path forward, I backtrack until I find a new route. If I can't figure out plot progression, I look at character needs vs. likely obstacles. Having an outline helps a lot with navigating inevitable detours, at least.
8. The first WIP I posted was co-authored Pokémon erotica, My Summer Flame. The first one I wrote solo was Feathers with Benefits (now Adagio for Wings), fantasy interspecies erotic romance with a human and gryphon. Started as a one-shot. It's now at least novel length in concept. Foreshadowing...
7. Suffice to say, I jump between projects a lot. Most of what I write is erotica or erotic romance, furry, and usually fantasy. I do also write science fiction, contemporary, alt-history, and probably a few other genres besides.
7. No, seriously. I have four stories in outlining, two one-shots and five parts of Adagio for Wings outline-complete, seven stories in varying stages of first draft, two in editing (both multi-part stories), and one multi-part in beta review. Trello is the only reason I remember most of 'em EXIST.
6. My most favoritest moment is when I figure out the last line to a story. That's the moment I have the story locked down. I may not have the full path to get there, and that path may change. It's still a solid destination. For others' works, I love editing. I've considered making it a service.
The start is here: www.sofurry.com/view/368475 Keep in mind the first chapter and several after are NSFW; it was started as a one-shot and then grew into a series of novels.
