What do you like to do when you're in a creative burnout?
hmmm, its usually gaming or watching films/ytube, sometimes reading too, stuff that kind of helps me to have ideas ... smth like that! 😂

Fellow Indo here, how many language do you speak?
ohh hai!! well I speak 3 mainly in my daily basis (en, id, and jp), though my jp grammar isnt that good yet (more towards passive) but I use it on daily basis with my friend!!

Do you have a genre that you have never tried yet but would REALLY wanna write about?
that'd be horror and mystery, specifically murder mystery! (its too much for my pea brain) 😭

How do you find the time to write? Not to traumadump, but I feel like once you reach a certain age you just get overwhelmed by...everything. I find your consistent output admirable, honestly
hmmm, usually in between the hours before I retire to/sacrifice sleep or at times where I have leisure times (even just 15 minutes break)! I do everything through phone (even posting my works and stuff). :D
it's not a trauma dump, dont worry! I understand that sentiment really well, there are times where I could not find any energy to write at all, but I often have to force myself to at least write a line or two or even to a certain word count to satiate the restlessness brought by me not writing.
(and thank you for the kind words, anon! I hope I can maintain the quality of my writing consistently throughout my works! :""3)

Who are your inspirations for your creative process? Do you have a particular favorite writer or artist?
hmmm, I have to pinpoint a written work, that'd be a novel titled 'Suicide' by Édouard Levé. that is the first book I read that is written in 2nd pov—based how memories are written.
while an artist, I usually gravitate towards artists who can evoke a sense of mellow or emotions connected to that when you first see it ... (if its varhen specifically, its @tsuini_o_o) (if its nrhs, its @Shinya572)
but generally, I use anything (fan)arts, animation meme, songs, even my own experience that I come across to nail a specific scene!

I always wanted to be a writer, but I could never get past the barrier actually starting. I'd like to know how you started. Do you remember how your first leap forward went? The decision that started your writing journey?
experiences are different from one to another and starting something can be very daunting! nevertheless, anon, I encourage you to take that leap for yourself. ofc, your first work won't instantly be good which is normal 🫶 but any art form/skill, especially writing or drawing, does need consistency. its never too late to start, lovely anon, try writing a few sentences and read/dissect a lot of books (reading other works will help building your own style) 🫶
as for my own journey ... I like writing since I was a kid but my actual attempt on writing professionally (in English, bc my native lang skill is very limited lmao) was after high school. I have a dream on making my own games/publish my own story as a book, you see 😆
sorry for the long answer! and thank you very much for this thoughtful question! 💖 I truly hope it gives you the boost to start writing 🫶

Are you doing originals for CF23? I like your fics but I'm curious to see your work without the constraint of canons 👀
yes, it's currently a work in progress! 😆 hopefully I can get it done on time! (I'm also releasing a varhen fannovel too at that)
thank you for the question and curiosity!👀 means a lot for me!

Sorry if it's too personal, but you said that you're a teacher? My respect for you just went tenfold 👀

How much do you like doing research for your writing? Do you ever feel like you're doing it more than actually writing?
I actually like it a lot (though I dont share much of it on main/public)! but I reserve much extensive ones for works that needed such complexity in their characterisation (usually multichaptered fanfics or a series), otherwise I just wing it like gods intend it to be!
even for series/alternate universes that are very different from the canon, I'm trying to incorporate some sort of short character bio (bc I like making them) though I'm very ... perfectionist—I worked professionally as a narrative designer once after all and still does professional writing—so sometimes it just ends up being delayed a lot (mostly visual problems bc I cannot draw/render 3D 😂)
hope that satisfies your question, anon!
