(references to other books, a movie, songs, etc) A: Occasionally. In the SLL novel Aven makes a reference to the Hulk in ch. 2 (i.e. “Okay, I’m in SERIOUS trouble here.

A: google docs Q23: What do you think is the best thing for someone to do when they get writers block? A: step back and take a break. occasionally read through what you have so far and brainstorm.

A: YES Q31: Have you drawn your characters before? A: a billion times Q32: Have you roleplayed with your characters before? A: occasionally *sweats nervously* Q33: Do you think you take way too long planning what to write instead of actually writing? A: sometimes Q34: What's your favourite part when editing?

(semi sci-fi vikings wage war against dwarves in a dystopian replica of Earth) Q41: Do you usually unintentionally make a side character more interesting than a main character? A: Sometimes, but not too often. I don't have any examples atm Q42: Have you ever written a character as something other than a human?
