26. Titles
I wanted my trilogy's titles to have a connecting theme, so I decided to use a well-known trifecta: body, mind and soul.
Book 1: Hidden Face
Book 2: Twin Minds
Book 3: Unshackled Soul
It's a tad shaky, but I'm happy with it. Sorta thing you might go "ohhh-!" at.

25. Artwork
I wouldn't call myself an artist as such, but here's a coloured pencil group shot of my main characters I drew myself a year or so ago.
Still my favourite art I've done myself ^_^

24. Music while writing
I have a whole background music playlist saved on YouTube, and I'm a frequent partaker of '1 hour ambient music' videos. Not just while writing but essential when I am - though when I write outside the flat, I prefer the natural background noise.

23. Advice for dealing with imposter syndrome
Uhh...yeah, I'd like some.
All I can really say is that if you've written something, you're a writer worth preserving and nurturing. Keep it up.

20. Where to find inspiration
Trouble with inspiration, it doesnt have a natural habitat. Mine likes to spring on me at random moments. A lot of my ideas sprout from the seeds planted by games and other media, for what is a novel but a remix of the dictionary, right?

19. Challenging parts of writing
For me it's exposition. I struggle with that ever-present problem: I know exactly what's going to happen, but I need to write it in a way that both feels natural and explains things sufficiently, but not excessively.
Makes my head hurt.

18. Favourite characters I've created
Honestly, these two goofballs. Jynrahd and Trikk really are like the two sides of my personality given form and I love them both individually and together.
To think they started as entirely unrelated DnD character sheets...

17. Hobbies
My biggest pastime away from the google doc is DnD. I enjoy both playing and running games, and they have really helped contribute to and build my fantasy settings.
I also play video games, read, occasionally draw and look after my bearded dragon.

16. Plotter vs Pantser
I'm a lawful plantser. I plan my story in bullet points and then write those points, allowing whatever works to happen between them.
Though I could never start without the plan, hence the lawful part.

14. Post your pets
Any chance to gush over her!
This is a Tiamat. Baby Tea. Teacup. Teacake. Tealeaf. Teatree. Etc.
I finally fulfilled my dream of owning a bearded dragon when I brought her home in August. In a few short months, she's grown up and become a fiesty friend!

13. Where I write
I'll confess: I'm one of those public writer types who writes on his laptop in cafes. I've never been asked about my book, as much as I secretly wish someone would.
While I still look young enough to conceivably be a student I don't think anyone will judge.

12. Writing advice
The best writing advice I've ever been given is don't write for a publicist, or an audience, or a demographic at first. The one person you should write for is yourself. If you're enjoying the storytelling process, the rest will fall into place in time.

11. Genres written and read
I pretty exclusively write fantasy - it's where I'm most comfortable expressing ideas. I've dabbled in horror and murder mystery to varyied levels of success as well.
As for reading, same as above, though I also enjoy light-hearted sci-fi.

7. What helps me relax
Very little, if I'm honest. Autism and ADHD is a spicy combo that makes truly switching off difficult.
But nothing helps me unwind like reading or drawing in my front room with a cup of tea, hanging out with my bearded dragon - who is also called Tea. 🥰
