Writer's Survey

[miri_uchiha]

Do you have a bad habit you'd like to break?
- Yes. The bad habit of taking so long to upload between chapters.

What genre do you plan on writing next year?
- Whatever my mood inspires me.

Do you often read in genres you don't write in?
- Sometimes I find myself reading genres I don't write because I crave them. Just because I don't write them, doesn't mean I don't like them. The Romance genre for example.

Have you ever found the villains more interesting to write about than the good guys?
- Totally. The bad guys have the best background stories, while the good guys are just there. Even if the good guys isn't all that interesting, people still like them because they're the good guys. =/

What's the very first story you can remember writing?
- A reverse harem ... yeah.

Have you ever found yourself hating your fanfiction stories?
- Not hate ... but I find myself re-reading my stories and wonder to myself why do people like it because it sounds off to me, even though at the moment when I post said story, I thought it sounded good.

How much planning do you do before you write?
- I plan as I go .... even though I know that every reader HATES it when writers write as they go because it causes the update to be slow. As a reader myself ... I find myself getting frustrated with long updates but then have to stop myself because I do the same too. However, there are times when I plan a general plot timeline of how certain things should happen in the story and I follow that outline. So, a little planning?

What's the story behind your username?
- For everyone that doesn't know ... my username is Miri_Uchiha. I got the word "Miri" from the anime s-CRY-eD. It's the shortened version of my favorite female main character of that anime, Mimori Kiryu. The word "Uchiha" should strike some familiarity in some people. The word was taken from the anime Naruto. My all time favorite character from that show was Itachi Uchiha. At one time during Middle School or High School ... I forget, I went to a website and got virtually married to him. So ever since, my last name as been Uchiha. Childish, I know.

Do you have any other hobbies besides writing?
- You mean hobbies that I think about every minute of my day and get frustrated when I am unable to do them? Does listening to music count? If not, then ... no. I don't have any other hobbies that makes me feel the same way I do about writing.

Do you have things you find interesting that others start edging away when you talk about them?
- Yes, death and negative things in general. Where are my peoples? I seriously need people who I can talk about death and negative things with, because I'm starting to think I'm the only one here on this earth that cares about those things and aren't scared of delving deep on such topics.

Is there anything wrong with your computer right now?
- My laptop is slow on the start up. The desktop computer I'm using at the moment is sort of the same as well. Not sure what is wrong with them ...

What is something you have been putting off doing for the past month?
- Writing fanfiction, because I have been trying to focus on school and other major worries that have been weighing heavily on my back.
