Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: Harry Potter
Participation: Writer
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: The snape_after_dh reincarnation fic. I'm really pleased with the plot so far.
Items with a deadline other than this fest: NaNoWriMo, to be written in November.
Most fun item on your list: The smut-fest for the_con_cept, but I've finished that now.
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: The fic for snarry_holidays but I can't tell anyone about that since it's an anonymous exchange. I'll need a beta at some point though - anyone want to volunteer for something that have no clue about?
How do you start a project? I meditate with my muse, who sits high above my desk so he can send down happy plots.
In what conditions do you work best? I work best in the evening but while it's still quite light, and with the door locked. My absolute best work is done when it's raining. I churn out chapters really quickly then.
One thing that always inspires you to create: Shakespeare. I have never read a Shakespeare play that has not inspired me to write something. Being in a quiet naturey place tends to help too, like the park. Not sure why though.
One general thing you would really like to improve on: My descriptions. I don't normally describe as much as I should.
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: If you get stuck move on to something else and inspiration will come.
A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
As promised, Al and James were waiting inside Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, pockets bulging with tricks and heads bent together, plotting.
“I hope you’re not planning to use any of that at home,” Harry said. They jumped.
“Of course not,” James said, affronted. “We’re going to use them on Filch.”
Harry considered a moment, then replied, “That’ll be fine. Just don’t tell anyone I knew about it.”
James and Al beamed. “We won’t.”
Then they caught sight of the cage shaped, paper wrapped bundle in Harry’s arms.
“Is that my birthday present?” Al asked in delight. Before Harry could answer, Lily jumped in.
“He’s called Severus,” she announced. “So you remember he’s yours.”
