8) favorite genre to write

Dirty, smelly, ugly fantasy with fucked up cities and lots of cursing.

10) write in silence or with background noise? with people or alone?

Danielle listens to music. I, Jaida, cannot be distracted by music, because I will start singing along, and then I will not be writing. However, I am able to write with literally every other distraction under the sun, whereas Danielle needs the music to block out the world!

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

Plotting, I think, as when we began, we did not really even know what a plot was, but now, we are somewhat acquainted with the concept and occasionally manage to create half of one. 

14) do you make playlists for your current wips?

Yes but as mentioned earlier, we are shy, and also, have trouble making 8tracks work, so these playlists are secret and hidden. One thing that we do have that isn’t, hopefully, too embarrassing, is our Pinterests for WIPs, which can be found here: https://www.pinterest.com/ladyjaida/ !

Hello hello!

Tycho the Brave was indeed based on Tycho Brahe! Jaida took one too many astronomy classes in college, and I think some of the stranger characters embedded themselves in her consciousness. She told me about the historical figure and I took the idea and ran with it (into strange places, as is my fashion...)
