OhmyGOSH that’s literally the coolest power imaginable XD That must be so hilarious and meta to write!

It is highly entertaining to write, and while it is complicated to handle the fourth wall awareness (there’s a reason people don’t write about these types often), I’m excited to finish it. I have a few stories planned for the same world, so this is kind of an introduction to how things work before stuff starts getting crazy. Because I have a lot planned. This world is one of my babies. XD

Wow, those are awesome languages! I speak Afrikaans (first language), Dutch, English, and Latin! (I’m fluent in all of them but Latin but I passed my exam in that so I’m good enough XD)

Oof yes it is. (Book or children?? Guest or host?? And don’t even get me started on the declanations and conjugations.)

Sadly, I’m only fluent in English. But since my goal is to change that, I figured I might as well start somewhere. And yes, Latin kicks butt hard. I only got halfway through level 2.

What’s your favorite language to write in?

What’s the book that inspired you the most?

Well… for this particular WIP it was Marvel’s The Unbelievable Gwenpool by Christopher Hastings. I hope that I can pull off the combination of chaos and order like he did, because that character arc was really something.

But in general, I find Angie Sage, Brandon Sanderson, and Rick Riordan to be inspiring. Angie Sage does some wonderful work with points of view in her Septimus Heap series. Brandon Sanderon’s magic systems and worldbuilding are to die for (metaphorically, of course). Rick Riordan inspires me to write a story that has just as much thought, and reach, and relatability while staying true to God and my personal convictions. Because let’s face it, it would be awesome to have a Christian-friendly version of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Harry Potter. (Although I’m not a fan of Rowling’s work since I feel like it just falls flat.)

What’s your favorite book?

Ah yes, the dreaded question… right now it’s a toss-up between The Terrible Two by Jory John and Mac Barnett and The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

What’s your least favorite book?

Have you ever heard of The Clone Codes by Fredrick McKissack and Patricia McKissack? I own a copy because I got it from a bookstore for $1 and wanted to finish it since I had started reading it, and then was never able to finish it because the friend I was borrowing it from moved away. The only reason I have not gotten rid of it is because it is such an excellent example of bad writing. Granted, I never did finish the trilogy, but I am amazed that a traditionally published book can be that awful, assuming that editors were involved in the process.

If you’re curious, read it yourself, but be wary of the strength of cringe you will likely experience.

Do you have any hobbies besides writing?

I knit, read (obviously ;P), draw/paint, and sometimes have time to practice cello. I used to do more before A) the pandemic B) college.
