Jessica Conoley The world in Patrick Rothfuss's Name of The Wind. I'd really like to meet Auri.
Jessica Conoley Vin & TenSoon from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. They're not a romantic couple, but they are a couple in their own right. I like how they are forced together and the begrudging relationship that evolves between the two of them.
Jessica Conoley A dream. I have terrible nightmares. Makes for awful sleeping, but excellent stories.
Jessica Conoley I'm in the process of getting my fantasy novel, The Color Eater, out to the public. It's the tale of Olena Burnwhite, a girl who's been ripped from her family and hunted for an ability she doesn't understand. Lena goes looking for his missing father and learns about more than just her super-power.
Jessica Conoley Read and write then read and write again. Also use a pen and paper when you're stuck. There's something about the tangible feel of ink and paper that slows you down and really lets your mind work in a different way.
Jessica Conoley Writing what I want to when I need to. It's the only job where I've ever had that type of freedom.
Jessica Conoley Not very well. First with procrastination, normally starting with cleaning ending with internet surfing. Then I set a timer and tell myself "You only have to write for 15 minutes." I'll start by handwriting in my journal, and normally by the time I'm through my journal entry I can convince myself to open my work-in-progress and work for a little bit longer. Or if the WIP is going nowhere I'll try for a flash fiction piece or blog post.
