Writing Meme Question 2 & 3
Borrowed from sixbeforelunch
2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project.
My current project [which I haven't started] is Unconventional Courtship challenge, and The Old Guard's Yusuf is going to inherit his late half-brother Jafar's concubine/monk Nicky. I am looking forward to writing the moment when Yusuf is told the crazy terms of the will.
I would also like to write a sequel to The Arrangement at Old Guard Hall in which Joe has to solve the murder of Nicky's husband. I love writing in hard-boiled Raymond Chandleresque voice and would love to do it, if I had all the plot pieces. I askedsanspatronymic for noir/hard-boiled film recs and recently spent about 2 weeks watching about a dozen old movies but the pieces still elude me. I have even thought of reading Save the Cat or another of those plotting books to get ideas about how to organize it.
Also, starting Sunday, GYWO is hosting Seven Days, Seven Stories, and I am going to use that week to write some sonnets using my Yahtzee prompts. I love sonnets! And I already am looking forward to my days being filled with trying to rhyme things.
3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway).
Not a scene, but a whole fic. I would love to write a fem!Sherlock fic (probably in my Sentinel 'verse) where Guide!John is inside Sentinel!Sherlock's Mind Palace and she has to solve seven mysteries to free Sherlock. Something a bit like The Seven Lives of Evelyn Hardcastle meets Jennifer Lopez in The Cell.
1. Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway).
4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like).
5. What character that you're writing do you most identify with?
6. What character do you have the most fun writing?
7. What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?
8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
9. Are you more of a drabble or a longfic kind of writer? Pantser or plotter? Do you wish you were the other? Both, or neither?
10. How would you describe your writing process?
11. What do you envy in other writers?
12. Do you want your writing to be famous?
13. Do you share your writing online? (Drop a link!) Do you have projects you’ve kept just for yourself?
14. At what point in writing do you come up with a title?
15. Which is harder: titles or summaries (or tags)?
16. Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)
17. Do you think readers perceive your work - or you - differently to you? What do you think would surprise your readers about your writing or your motivations?
18. Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them.
19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe 'too often', trope you can’t get enough of?)
20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)
21. What other medium do you think your story would work well as? (film, webcomic, animated series?)
22. Do you reread your old works? How do you feel about them?
23. What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?
24. Would you say your writing has changed over time?
25. What part of writing is the most fun?
