1 like = 1 answer I'm on vacation in the middle of the Pacific so I'll answer whenever I'm not dying of the humid heat.

1- What's your favorite part of writing? That's a hard question... I enjoy many parts, but I'm going to pick the "aha moment" I often experience when brainstorming a plot and finding a key element of the story I'm about to write (e.g. a plot twist or crucial worldbuilding element).

2- What's the scariest thing you've ever written? Hesitating between skin magic in A Legacy of Blood and Bone, aka consuming your own skin (yikes) to steal other people's lifeforce, and my folk horror novelette The Hunger of Paradise and its claustrophobic setting and dreadful ending.

4- Who is your favorite author? Christelle Dabos. Yes, 95% of what I read is adult fiction and my favorite author writes YA. Sue me!

5- What's your favorite type of scene to write? Characters clashing with each other + big reveals!

6- What's your favorite type of symbolism? At the line level, simile, and for the bigger picture/story, allegories.
