My inspiration for blogging suddenly went poof, so that's where I've been the past few days. But here I am, back again and ready to conquer the world!

I have 4 hours left in the linky for A Novel Idea this week, so I'm barely sliding under the wire. This week is about us, the writers. At first I thought they'd be difficult to answer, but they were surprisingly easier than I thought.

If you haven't heard of A Novel Idea before, it's a blog meme by Ashley @ Ashley Aspires. There are weekly questions for you to answer about your novel, your characters, and yourself. It's really awesome and never fails to get my writing and blogging juices flowing. Do check it out when you get the chance!

And now, my answers for this week!

1. What is something you find really difficult about being a writer? 
Consistency. It's only in the past few months that I've decided to actually pick a project and stick to it. It's hard work, guys! I never knew how hard it is to actually finish a novel. Over and over and over again. And once you're done with the first draft, you must edit; over and over and over again. It's such a hard job. But fortunately and unfortunately, I can't stop.

2. Where do you see yourself in 10 years, writing-wise?
Hopefully, published? But if not that, then at the very least querying.

3. If you could pick one literary character to meet, who would it be and why? 
Lucy Pevensie! Followed with a close second by Mr. Tumnus, for some reason. (I wanted to put Tony Stark here. Do comics count?) All three of these characters are very dear to me--Lucy and Mr. Tumnus for childhood reasons, and Tony Stark as a reflection of who I am and what I like now. It's hard to explain just how much I love them. They're not really characters anymore; they're more like friends.

4. What is your favorite thing about the writing process?
New stuff! (And being inspired for writing in general.) But I like getting new ideas and fleshing them out. Which is probably why I have a hard time staying consistent and working on the same project. Getting a new flow of inspiration, whether for a new project or an old one, and making a Pinterest board and plotting it out is the best. It is only rivaled by the feeling of actually finishing a novel. Finishing novels is awesome. Writing is awesome!

And thus, that concludes my answers for this week. Check out A Novel Idea, hosted weekly by a blog near you!
