Ask Me Something

I planned to finish off my little series with a post on originality. Then last night my brain melted.

This always happens when I get about half way through a WIP. All the major elements for the ending begin to come together in my head, and then it's like this huge information download. I couldn't even write last night because there was just so much story swimming around in my brain.

I got a massive headache.

Then I crashed at like 9:30PM.

Lame.

I probably sound like a freak right now, but that's just how I work. My head still hurts, and so instead of rambling on about how much I value originality (which should be obvious if you've spent more than a day here), I'm asking you to ask me questions! Yay!

It's been a while since I've done a Q&A, so I figured maybe there was someone out there who might want to know something about me or my writing or how to pronounce Middle English. You know, important stuff. Now's your chance, guys.
