I tend to write Fantasy but im branching out into fiction/action stuff. To prepare, i know the start, i wont start writing without the start, and i know sort of where it's going to end, what happens inbetween is up to my characters. I definatly have to be in the mood for writing, some days i could sit all day and type away, and some days i write about 3 lines in an hour, depends on how im feeling, but i try to write a little everyday. My characters are all parts of me, but the first story i wrote, i based the main character on somebody elses, from a different book, that failed miserably, so i came up with my own people. I tend to go fairly deep into emotions, several of my characters suffer from emotional stress or trauma, it helps with how they react in different situations.
We never had a Gifted and Talented at my school. I only wrote one story for school, but it was short, only about 5 pages in tiny handwriting, but i felt uncomfortable doing it because no one knew that i wrote, and everybody else in class was writing a fiction about teenage problems or action stories, and i was the only one writing a fantasy. I got a good mark though, and my teacher said she liked it but it never went any further. Writing for school was never an option, only three of my friends know im a writer and they have been supportive, but school gave me nothing other than a panicy feeling that my story was not going to get a good mark.
