4. Do you have writing habits or rituals? – umm i have certain places I sit.i can’t just sit or write anywhere, i’m very specific about those. definitely can’t have anything but instrumental/classical/choral/soundtrack music on; sometimes i’ll turn it off and just work in silence. oh, and a drink, usually tea lol 

5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most. – oooh interesting, style i would say…probably hilary mantel? i’ve re-read the wolf hall series so many times, and there was a long-ago draft that was actually written in present-tense bc i wanted to ape wolf hall so much haha. (it’s now past tense bc present tense just didn’t work) but the more i think about and read back the draft i’m writing now, the more i think…yeah i’m really pulling on similar things to what she is; i’m trying to create characters as three-dimensional as hers are. (trying being the operative word in the sentence lol) 

23. Single or multi POV, and why? – for my WIP, definitely multi POV. in early early incarnations, it was even more diffuse than that and was basically a four/five POV story. now it’s just two – two protagonists, different narratives that come together and eventually dovetail. though in terms of me as a reader i think i prefer single POV? i often find multi quite frustrating to read bc authors always end them on cliffhangers (but i’ve made sure to not really do that as such).
