There always are! Mostly original fiction... I’ve had a story percolating for over four years that I’ve had a lot of trouble working out in a way that I feel like I can actually write it. And another story that I’m super excited about that HOPEFULLY I will use this NaNo as an excuse to write some of. It involves a displaced princess and a found family in the mob, ninja twins that no one can tell apart, their leader with four sisters who just want him to go on a date, and weapons that level up.

There’s a HinaKage fic I want to write that’s sort of taken the back seat due to the copious amounts of AnS fic I have on my plate, too--Hinata works at a sports shop and gets kinda obsessed with the tall dark guy who keeps buying volleyball gear.

Of course I’m working on five AnS fics which are all pretty much on pause for the moment because work is kicking my ass, too. So I guess I’m holding off on writing everything... these include band!au, villain!shirayuki, sexpollen!fic, cat!obi, and childhood au. Also a prompt I promised Sab.

Really, really, really wish they were all already written. :p

‘Expert’ is taking it too far, definitely. In the past I didn’t do much research. But coming up in the future I’m going to have to learn a hell of a lot about hemlock, let me tell you. (Why did I do this to myself?)

Usually I write what I know... though that’s getting harder and harder as time goes on.

Thanks for the ask!

1: I have several projects I keep rotating through because I can’t focus on anything long enough to get through all of it, unfortunately. But my current projects are: a) Deep Wood AU, wherein Obi is a cat, Shirayuki is a girl of the wood, and Big Problems appear; b) Childhood AU, wherein Shirayuki will soon enter high school and realize Obi is very attractive in auto shop; c) Band AU, wherein Zen heads a band and Yuzuri is a huge fan; d) A snippet based on canon where Obi is in a fight, whoops.

9: The aesthetic for the snippet is a dark night, empty corridors, flashing knives, and a broken window.

There’s a fight and it’s not good.

At this precise moment my current work is canon, I suppose. I’d say maybe yes? Clarines around the castle seems to be a bright, happy place, though I’m sure it’s got its problems.

6. How do you get through writer’s block?

I don’t have a set method. I usually start writing something else... something that isn’t currently frustrating the bejeezus out of me. The other day I tried something different though: I started just writing out the dialogue freehand, on a pad of paper, and doing it that way really helped me stop worrying so much about the words and focusing on the forward flow of the writing.8. Briefly discuss your outlining process, if you outline.

Outlining is SUCH A GOOD IDEA! 99% of the time I don’t do it, but I did a little bit for childhood au. The process is basically spitting my ideas onto a blank document so I don’t forget them, hahaha. Because I will forget.
