10) Writer's block! When you know what you want to write & where you want the story to go, but have no idea how to get there/what to put in between. And when you've so many stories ideas & keep starting new stories that you either lose interest in or never finish or take forever to finish. Also, when you can't figure out how to save things on CD-R/CD-RW's or the computer won't let you & you lose a 169 page story as well as another story that was half done, & one that was a paragraph from done! And the one you HAVE on disk, but when you save more stuff to that disk, somehow it LOSES everything orignally ON that disk & ends up the exact same as another disk you have, that you'd put it just before that one. OR you lose a fic you KNOW you put on disk, otherwise you'd have NEVER deleted it to begin with & now have to retrieve it from off a website to get it all back & hafta RE-start chapter 9!!!! [may be a bit before Elliot's Girl gets updated now] >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(  [bad ideas to ask me about pet peeves-lol]


11) Writers - name one story you started [doesn't hafta be posted] & never finished, but wish you have.

11) Any story I've started and never finished! Yes, that's 26 out of the 30 stories I have written.

12) As a writer, how do you find time to write? What guidelines do you set for yourself to make this time?

12) I don't have any specific guidelines... the inspiration will just hit me and I write! Heh. Not too complicated of a process.

13) Writers -- where do you get your ideas?

14) I've had a couple people tell me I'd be a really good author & that I should become one & such - which IS my dream! And those reviews just make me love the stories that get those reviews even more. I feel proud [until somebody make me lose a freakin' star without even saying why! I HATE when people say they liked the chapter, then lower my stars/rating without saying why!] & I'll want to continue the story more. [Speaking of which, I really should resume writing Elliot's Girl - sadly though, I'm stuck-lol]


15) Readers - do you get emotionally attached to certain story characters??? And do you find yourself crying  with them or yelling at them for being 'stupid'? [Lol.]

16) Why, yes. Yes, I have. Lol. When I was still in High School - I'd be writing or daydreaming up a fic/poem & not concentrating. Though, I did sleep through most of the one classs - it was WAY too easy! Felt like Kindergarten all over again-lol. But, yeah, I have done it. And in Myrtle Beach this past summer - everyone was outside enjoying themselves, & I was in our condo writing up the first chapter of Little Sister. Lol.


17) Writers - have you ever let any family members read your stories???

no way! i showed my sister my poem (not even backstreet related) and she was just....ugh! its not a good idea, with my family, to show em stories. i felt so awkward when i HAD to show my mom my writings for english class in 12th grade ( it was an assignment, to get our parents involved in our work). the only person who i know face to face who knows about my writings is my roommate from last year, cause she writes them for lord of the rings lol, but i wouldnt have her read my fics cause we didnt really get along.

18)for anyone really, what is your favorite type of AU situation for the boys?

Well I wasn't gonna share this, but I WILL say that it involves somewhat of a role-reversal. lol I'm still working on it, so I don't wanna spoil it too much.

edit: FORGOT MY QUESTION!! lol

20) Have you ever forgotten about a story, only to find it some time later, and read it? How did you feel about it?

20) Yeah, I've written stories & forgotten them, then found 'em again & re-read 'em. I've never posted nor finished 'em. I'm not as fond of them as I once was - they're so - so teeny-bopperish! Lol. I mean, they're like the usual - fans meet BSB & hang out with BSB & someone ends up with BSB type thing. Lol.


21) Everyone - do you have a favourite song fic you've read - if so, do tell.
