I know it's been a while, but it's time for another Author Guess WHO!  You'll have a couple of weeks to guess the author. Good luck! Sorry about the lack of extra formatting. Posting using my phone again.

What is one thing that most GA members might not know about you?

I used to listen almost exclusively to heavy metal, before I realised that the world wasn't divided into heavy metal and bubblegum pop.

 

What prompted you to write your first story?

I wrote my first story when I was four, and it was about a baby seal that lost its mother and was raised by humans. I had a stuffed seal toy, which was what inspired it, probably. I've been writing ever since, couldn't stop.

 

What genre of books do you enjoy reading and have you written for that genre? 

I love science fiction and fantasy. I rarely read books outside of SFF, except when I'm on here and I get lost in romance novels. The exception is when I find classics that I feel I really need to read. The last time that happened, it was Anne Brontë. I've tried writing both science fiction and fantasy, but it never really amounts to much. I have like ten science fiction novels I've started and never gotten anywhere with.

 

Is there a genre that you haven’t written for that you would consider trying later on? 

I really want to write and finish a science fiction story one day. I also really want to write a crime novel. I love mysteries on TV.

 

What do like most about publishing on GA? 

I like the interactions with my readers and the community in general. When I get comments and reviews, it makes me immeasurably happy, and I try to reply to each and every one of them, even if it's just to say thanks. 

 

Do you have any unique writing habits or rituals to help you get into a writing mood? 

Not really. It's more like I get in a writing mood and I can't not write. Of course, this means that I'm prone to writer's block, cause I can never force myself to write; it just happens. 

 

How has your writing style evolved over time? 

I don't know, I guess it's just generally improved. My prose is more varied now than it used to be, but I think the bare bones of my style is pretty much the same, like I found a style and mostly stuck with it. I think this question is easier for a reader to answer than for me, though.

 

Do you have a significant other? 

I do.

 

Do you have any pets? 

I have one cat.

 

Do you post multi-chapter stories as you write? Do you wait until you’ve finished writing the entire story? Or is it something in between?

It depends. I try to have at least a first draft finished before I start posting, and I've become more strict with myself about that after leaving people hanging quite a few times in the past when I didn't. I may start posting an unfinished story if I have a very clear idea of where I'm going and I'm confident that I'll be able to finish. I never start posting a story until I have at least a few chapters ready to go.

 

What is your favorite television show? 

Oh, there are so many I love! But in the end, I'm a science fiction buff at heart, and I always return to Firefly.

 

What is your favorite movie? 

Again, there are so many, but probably Velvet Goldmine. Because glam rock. And gayness.

 

Do you write poetry? Prose? Or both?

Mostly prose. I occasionally try my hand at poetry, but usually if I try it ends up as song lyrics instead. Been writing more poetry lately than I used to.

 

If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be?

Probably Ursula K. Le Guin. I'd love to pick her brain. Maybe she could teach me to write science fiction. Her, or David Bowie. It's a close call.

 

What would you say is your greatest accomplishment?

Actually finishing a novel.
