Quid pro quo, Clarice.
So I just came off a hellacious couple of weeks (which I will explain properly sometime soon) and I am feeling FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS. Best part? So many of my mental processes have been freed up, and I've been thinking about writing a lot more than I have been lately. Which feels so, so good.
I was thinking of a simple exercise I used to do with writing partners - I was actually telling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonsheen about it the other day - and I thought I'd put it up here so that we all could play.
Here's how it goes: you ask me a question about a writing project, I answer, and ask a question about yours. Simple as that! It could be about a specific project, or something in general (like, say, "Who is your most ____ character?" or something like that.) And the questions can keep going back and forth for as long as you like.
I've always found that it's easier to get enthusiastic about a project and dive right into it when you can share your enthusiasm with someone else. And there are my ulterior motives, of course - I get to find out about everyone else's writing, too.
Just to remind you all, my big projects are:
Completed:
In Descending Order
Grandmaster Draw
In progress:
Catalyst
The Imperial Guard
The Hungry Ground
Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law
And there are also short stories like "The Mountain Sleeps" (and the not-yet-written universe based around that story), and cowriting and such.
Let's play?

The Imperial Guard is Knights of Cydonia by Muse, naturally. Grandmaster Draw is Parallel Hearts, Hanamori no Oka, and a fuckton of other FictionJunction songs. The Hungry Ground is Howl by Florence and the Machine, and pretty much the entire Prince of Persia 2008 soundtrack. I have entire playlists on my iPod. ♥
Not to be redundant, but same question back at you!

I tend to get pinged more for characters than projects, really, as well as the relationships they have with each other. Let's see...Joza is Incubus by Recoil. It's also my song for Sebastian, really. Something about it just screams demon at me, and not just because of the title. :P Other than that, I don't have many song calls for Contract Theory.
I have a lot more for Capertown -- some of the highlights are I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters and I'm Incapable of Regret by Rasputina for Garath, and Let Me Be Your Armor by Assemblage 23 and Somebody Hates Me by Reel Big Fish for Ketterly. Yana, another character who may or may not show up in the story, has You're the Psycho by Diva Destruction and Trouble by Bonnie McKee.
Hmmm, new question, new question... Where did the idea for "The Mountain Sleeps" come from?
