There'll be a question relating to "writing" each Saturday.
This week's question is:

Q: When and where do you do most of your writing?

I do all my writing at my table, where by laptop is located. I'm usually lazy to unplug my laptop adapter so I'm always at my table. I find that I write more during the night as I'm not as distracted as I am during the day. That's when I get most of my things done as I stayed up pretty late into the night. However, I'm challenging myself to writing in the day so I'll get more word count up!

This week's question is:

Q: What is your favorite thing about your current WIP?

This is the first WIP I did an outline for. I did spend quite some time on it so it's my favorite thing right now. I used to be a panster while writing fan fictions, thinking chapter by chapter and never plan ahead. So, this is something different for me. I'm looking forward to completing my MS after my exams this coming Monday. The outline definitely helps. 

What about you?

This week's question is:

Q: Which author(s) has been your greatest inspiration?

I have many since I read a lot of books this year alone. My greatest inspiration comes from mainly a few authors: Sarah Alderson, Cassandra Clare, Julie Kagawa and even J.K Rowlings!

I had the fortune to come across Sarah's Hunting Lila and was immediately taken by her writing style that I even went to buy the book after borrowing it from the library. I even went on to buying her second book without any reservation. 

Cassandra spins a wonderful tale of Shadow Hunters. I love the way she describes things and portrays her characters' feelings. The tension between the relationship of the main characters is definitely read-worthy.

Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series is AMAZING! It's complete with emotions, actions and beautiful descriptions. It feels like nothing else exists whenever I read the series.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has accompanied me throughout my growing up stages. Love her magical school.

How they inspired me? I love the worlds they have built within their books and they never cease to amaze me whenever I read them. Their books are the best that I've read so far and they greatly inspires me to try to build one of my own. 

Do you have any authors who inspire you? Share with us! :)
