I know! I love piano   And yeah, I was taking guitar lessons, but then I decided I wanted to swap them for piano, so yeah, now I’m playing piano.

That’s so cool! I’m still playing harp. Can you read sheet music yet? I remember what an absolute struggle that was to learn XD Learning to sight-read was an uphill battle and until then I had to memorize the songs XD

Did you know harp and piano can mostly use the same music? I have a limited amount of modulations I can do, (E, A and B flat, and C, D, F, G sharp) and some runs are harder, but otherwise it’s really similar! What’s your favorite kind of music to play?

Oh, thanks! I will totally do that! And if you have any stories I’d love to read them! I’m not sure how great critique I could give, but I just love reading that stuff for the sake of reading it anyway, lol

LOL, I’m afraid Liorah is a jealous brat and doesn’t allow me to do anything else XD I’ve actually never tried short stories, though I do want to! I might end up doing a few over the winter!

XD   But you’ve gotta admit: her type of character is one of the most fun to write! Which is your favorite character out of your novels?

Totally! Liorah, hands down! I can’t help it, she makes me love her. She can be a frustrating pest sometimes but she’s soso alive. She’s one of the most vivid characters I’ve ever written and her voice comes easily to me. I love all my characters, but Liorah is closest to me XD I’d say my other favorites are Ziyad, Chantara, Faye, Gavril, and Ferran.

Ziyad is probably the most complicated character in my WIP. I won’t give too much away, but every time I write him he throws me for a loop. He’s layered and complex and oftentimes not at all loveable.

Gavril is one of the characters I relate the most to. He’s my classical hero character, trying to bear the whole world on his shoulders and crumbling under the weight.

I didn’t like Ferran at first, but he really grew on me. He’s sweet and he and Liorah are a great dynamic together.

Chantara is a straight-up villain. She scares the daylights out of me, she really does. But like Liorah, she’s layered and so very alive.

And Faye is my precious smol cinnamon roll who must be protected at all costs. She’s my baby.

LOL, sorry, I can’t resist ranting about my characters. XD What are your favorites in your current WIP?

*Blows and horn and spouts confetti and runs around with a cake above her head screaming “whoo! whoo! whoooo!!!” I congratulate you!!!! That is awesome!!!! (Especially since I’ve never finished any novel and so I know how much stamina its got to take)

Thank you!!! I’m so happy I managed to finish it! How come? Do you usually get new ideas or do you just fall out of love with it?

Oooo, was that the one with the dressmaker in it, if I remember right? And those “plot bunnies” are so annoying!!

You remembered! That’s the one! Though, by this time, it’s almost a full-fledged story. It has also evolved into what might be a heist story with lots of betrayals and plot twists XD Most of the characters are almost fully realized, only unnamed. I have almost half the plot XD And I keep trying to push it down because I’m working on something else XD

*shuffles feet and looks at the ceiling* So, no . . . . I can’t stay focused for long, lol. Right now I’m working on another fantasy, but I am determined NOT to give up on it. I will plod forward if only an inch at a time until it comes to realization. That is if I don’t see another plot bunny first. (oh, and you remembered their names!)

Ooh, that’s so cool! Tell me about it! I want to know everything! Also, if you ever get back to Kiark and Dancrow’s stories, I still want to read them 🙂 They sound so incredible and awesome!

Totally get it! Add that to getting distracted watching Studio C on YouTube, and that’s why I  never get anything done

LOL, YES! Distraction is everywhere!! XD
