EXCEPT THAT TIME YOU MET SCRAM AND YOU TOTTALY FREAKED OUT AND STARTED COMUNICATING IN PICTURES

Okay, I didn’t think I should include internet people, but okay then.

Yes, when I met Scram, I was so nervous that I couldn’t even talk to him in text. Instead I drew pictures. T'was a weird day.

I’ve also met Jan for like 5 minutes during the Coop era. Similar reaction then, as well.

have you ever considerd yourself being bi or gay at any point in your life? even a passing curiosity in the male anatomy of others :Y?

Asked by carrotquill

Not really. And there’s a lot of reasons behind this. Most notably is the fact that I have spent a good portion of my time in a sheltered conservative Christian school, life, and family.

I didn’t even know that homosexuality (not being used as a slur/insult) was a thing until I was 12

I will admit, I’ve gotten curious. Who hasn’t? But I determined that it’s not really me.

As a creative mind what do you find harder to do; writing or drawing?

Asked by carrotquill

Writing.

I consider myself a bad writer.

Now, I can build up a setting and basic plot outline really fast and easy, but when it comes to properly describing scenes and creating character personalities, I fall flat on my face. Those two flaws prevent me from going forth with most of the ideas I get.

The fact that PC has run for almost a year astonishes me because it’s the longest series I’ve ever written (technically still a WIP) and is one of the very few ideas I’ve really dedicated myself to. Out of the many science-fiction short stories and romance novellas I’ve written in the past, Post Crusade is the best work I’ve done. And I’m saying that in the midst of character personality conflicts and shoddy pacing/timing.

I really am pushing hard to make sure PC remains a decent series in terms of writing. Because frankly, writing is my greatest weakness.
