Date: 2016-01-10 01:30 am (UTC)LJ age: I started my account in August 2009. Someone better in math than me will have to figure out how long that is.
What is your Creativity Goal this year: 250K words. 2015 was words-fail for so many reasons.
What is your goal this year beyond that: Fill up my etsy store. Get a job? Get my RL in order?
Where in the world are you: North Carolina (it's beautiful here - wish you could join me.)
Current Fandom(s): for writing - H50 and Star Trek. For watching, Castle, Sherlock, and Agent Carter. I also love the Avenger Universe.
Earlier/old Fandom(s): Only Star Trek
Do you Original fic? In my head. On "paper" in fits and starts. I'd like to do more.
Favorite comm(s): this is one is the BEST. And the only one in which I am active.
Gen, Het, or Slash: It almost always turns into slash no matter my intentions.
Languages you write in: only English
Favourite 'go to' movie(s) and why: Original Star Wars, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Muppets Christmas Carol all year long
Favourite movie/TV show genre(s): The only TV I watch is H50 and Castle so I guess detective?
What inspires you? random randomness - I wonder what would happen if XYZ occurred?
What type of creative project(s) do you find you can do easily: Writing comes easily when I am in the zone. I really love writing dialog, and I'm not particularly good at description, mostly because it doesn't interest me as a whole. My muses can be pretty insistent when they are around. Right now they must be recovering from the holidays as they aren't here.
What type of creative project(s) would you like to get better at: I've been experimenting with polymer clay. It's great fun but I'm not good at it - not yet. I'll post a creation when I have one I'm happy with.
Coffee, Pepsi, tea, Coke, water, juice, vodka: I have to start the day with coffee. Then it's Pepsi and iced tea the rest of the day.
Tell us about your Pet(s): I have five dogs - Hannah is an Old English Sheepdog. She bosses around the other dogs, and her mamas. Kashmir is a Newfoundland - huge. She's sweet and adorable and loves everybody. YoQuera is a foundling. She looks a little like the Taco Bell dog but not so small. She is the definition of sassy. Layla is also a foundling. She looks like a black Australian shepherd. She's a little pig - demands part of whatever we are eating. And finally there's Maggie - a Great Pyrenees. She's completely white, and at one and half years old, is still a puppy. She is the goofiest puppy ever and not really very smart. But her sweetness makes up for her lack of intelligence.
Do your friends/family encourage you to create? My sister doesn't really care one way or the other. She'll help me with non-writing creativity when I need it.
Name a song that always makes you cry like a baby: Stairway to Heaven for reasons with which I will not bore you.
How's your memory: I have a storehouse of entirely useless information. But when I go to the grocery store, you can bet I won't come home with the one I item I went to buy. I get easily distracted... oh look. A chicken!
Walk, jog, bicycle, car: Car. I can make a sloth look like an olympic sprinter.
I don't think that word means what you think it means: Damn you effect/affect!!! I do anything I can to avoid using them.
And lastly, anything else you want to say, or finish with a gif that sums you up:
What I'm sure you're thinking now:
You're welcome

Date: 2016-01-10 04:44 am (UTC)Good luck with your goals - I am sending all the vibes!
North Carolina is beautiful! I was there *mumbling mumble* years ago to visit a penpal!
E for effing effect (noun) and A for action (affect = verb) Any use? ;-)
As for Sherlock - Keep coming, Cumberpatch! :D
