Q
As a writer do you prefer using a pen name or real name?
Why?

| Author, quarintine_deathangel |
A
I use a penname because it relates to one of my major
writings, Paranatural, and I personally enjoy acting/ role playing, so I find
it fun to go under penname. Also using your real name could make people judge
you and not your writing or judge you only by your writing.
Q
Which genre do you normally write? Are you comfortable
going out of your comfort zone?
A
I have certain genres I agree with and ones I don't, I usually
stay within, what's inspiring me, my life, or stranger than fiction horror,
with a bit of gore if I can. I find it interesting to twist average thought or
go deep into what legends were like or where they came from. Writing Raggedy
Ann's Doll House has brought me a little out of my comfort zone in writing
since it's further in the mental gore aspect than what I'm used to.
Q
How old are you? Male or female?
A
Age is not available, and I'm female which is kind of obvious in
my profile and throughout my writing.
Q
Do you like cats or dogs?
A
I like dogs more than cats, cats are
gonna take over the world some day. XDD
Q
Tell me something about you that no one else knows.
A
If I had the chance, and Kiro was
human, I would totally marry him. XD
Q
Are you married, dating, or single? If you’re married or
dating; have you ever cheated on your spouse or significant other? If you’re
single; do you like to play the field?
A
I'm not even a romantic personality.
I've had crushes that's about it. My dream guy is a dark/ death angel so kind
of impossible. And never dated, I might have considerably flirted with one
crush before. That's it.
Q
Have you ever contemplated suicide? If so, why did you
feel that was your only option?
A
I have contemplated suicide, just to
think about why other people would do it and see the world in their way, and of
course I've had days where I've wanted to feel soo bad I want to give up. But I
blow it off because I've learned it to be twice as heroic and difficult to live
than die, and I want to be the best person possible, in God's eyes too.
Q
Have you ever been in trouble in school? At work? At home?
A
All three, chewed gum in the principles office once, not
realizing it XD also I've done a million things at home. At work I do what I'm
told and get by without problems and suck up and deal with any problems I have.
Q
Did you have siblings growing up? If so, how many?
A
I did have sibling rivalry many times. How
many is confidential, sorry dude. XD
Q
Did you have siblings later in life? If so, how many and
at what age did you get them? Were they adopted?
A
doesn't apply
Q
Where do you get your inspiration?
A
Spiritually, from dreams, daily life, adventure, learning,
considering, google images, all kinds of ways, but that's the majority of it.
Q
How do your approach your writing? Are more OCD? Plan
everything out with outlines and what amounts to storyboards? Or do you just
fly by the seat of your pants and work everything out as it comes?
A
I have a storyboard for Paranatural and usually I consider what
the plot could lead to and take the best turn according to genre, clisheness or
popularity. I have mostly free written poems since I feel more expression is in
free written handwritten than formatted and typed.
Q
Do you like horror movies? Comedy? Pick your poison.
A
I love gory horror movies because I
can watch how they do special effects and makeup and it interests me. I've also
watched many pixar movies I love and disney has a few good ones. I don't care
at all for the notebook or others in the genre. They're too saddening and
emotional. I'm a complete sucker for adventure movies and especially action
movies, fast and furious and gone in sixty seconds<remake> are epic
movies to me XD
Q
Do you enjoy certain types of books, but like to write in
another genre? If so, why?
A
I
love animal books and J.R.R. Tolkein was a great writer, I've also read monster
high and numerous fan fics on gotoquiz.com that I quite enjoyed. I loved
reading Julie of the wolves and hated Julia so I stopped at the fifth chapter.
I've read almost the whole original series of Sherlock Holmes and seen both
movies with Robert Downing Jr. XD I've read some really good horror fictions
too and love campfire stories, which is what Reflection of Self upon Molten
Glass is made from.
Q
What are you currently working on? Do you have any novels?
A
The Untold series, Paranatural, my journal and a few poems I've
come up with. Paranatural is going to become a novel.
Q
Anything else that you would like to say before we end?
A
Sure, I don't find writing as a job or consider any format for
it, if I did it would be ten times harder. I freewrite mostly, and have a very
creatively hyper and critical judgement personality on my own works. I consider
myself a perky goth since I hold an interest to gothic culture and perky goth
fashion especially. I also like to get read requests and emails. And I'm on
facebook, the link is in my profile. I will be writing two forms of
Paranatural, one of which is a book and another which almost takes place of fan
fics and parts will be posted up on facebook and writers cafe, along with my
other writings. My journal however is not going to be posted. Also, if any
writers of horror fiction would have the time, I have open parts on Raggedy
Ann's Doll House for writing.
