But you can enjoy it for free~ isn’t that better?
Bel Watson
Uuuhhh I don’t know but I hardly think so. No one has ever been interested in doing anything else with that book.
Bel Watson
Oh I don't know. I haven't had time to focus on what I'd like to read. I barely read any books last year ):
Bel Watson
Absolutely none. My life is so boring and plain so nothing could be used to make a story.

I'd say Darcy and Lizzy but I scream way more for Scarlet and Wolf in the lunar chronicles. I love the tenderness and fierce sense of protectiveness from both, the acceptance and unconditional love. It's a possessive kind of thing but not in the unhealthy way but in a sense of "I'll do anything to protect this person because s/he is everything to me" and I find it beautiful. And they are super cute too.
Bel Watson
Hahaha of course I can!
Bel Watson
Most of the time they are just random scenes I see n my head and when I like them, I keep thinking about them, developing until I can see some kind of plot.
Bel Watson
Sheer will. I just force myself to write until I feel better and it comes more smoothly. I also watch more films and read more books to feel inspired.

You're never alone, there are always characters in your mind, making you company. Or maybe that's me being crazy.
Bel Watson
to write, write and write. The only way to improve is practice. Also, read even more. That is a great way to study.
Bel Watson
It's Just Ann and Unseen. I finished Happenstance recently and I have to finish Hate Me.
Bel Watson
it depends. For example currently I'm not inspired at all because I rather watch Korean Dramas, but I have a huge sense of responsibility and I write anyways. Sometimes I just wake up inspired to write, sometimes I have to force myself. As I said, it depends.
Bel Watson
Well, It's Just Ann is the most recent one that on here and clearly from Mulan, but I also wanted to add more diversity to my books and I must admit that watching the anime Free! inspired me to create Gareth Maddox, the main character in that book.
For Unseen I was thinking of writing for NaNoWriMo and I came with that idea, but I never dared to take part of the competition.
