1. What time frame does your story take place in?

Given the fact that my story is set in a made-up country called Andrynnor, there isn't really a time frame, per se.  However, the atmosphere is very similar to the Medieval period.


2. Who is the main character in your story?

Laenna is a young princess who has been thrust into the role of queen after her father's untimely assasination at the hands of those who have (successfully) attempted to wage civil war.  Growing up without a mother has made her strong, but as her country's politics begin to crumble, so does she.  She yearns for deep companionship that her courtiers and politicians cannot offer her, and fears that she won't be able to make the right decisions as a ruler.


3. What three words best describe your main character?

Melancholy, Imaginative, Hopeful


4. When was the last time you had inspiration for your story? 

A few hours ago


5. What caused your inspiration?

The sun was setting, and it was drizzling heavily at the same time, creating a hazy curtain of mist...


6. What music do you usually listen to when writing your story?

Movie soundtracks, particularly the Lord of the Rings, Gods and Generals, and Passion of the Christ


7. What book/movie most influenced your story?

That's a difficult question.  I'd have to say the Lord of the Rings trilogy (books and movies), closely followed by Gods and Generals.  The latter helped a great deal with its portrayal of civil war, and as for the former...do I even have to explain?   It's Tolkien, for Pete's sake!


8.  How long have you been working on your story?

A grand total of... *calculates* ...two weeks!  Actually, maybe not even that long.  I haven't written any of the actual story yet, but the plot itself is pretty well constructed.  I've also been drawing maps, character portraits, and writing down lists of names that will perhaps come in handy in the future.  No harm in being prepared!


9. Do you think better while laying down or sitting up?

Depends.  Usually sitting up, though I have come up with a lot of great ideas in bed after everyone else is asleep.


10. Which place inspires you most?

For this story, I'd have to say the beach, especially when the weather is stormy.  Andrynnor is an island country, so when I'm at the beach I can easily imagine myself in my story.

 

Hope you enjoyed!
