#WritersCoffeeClub 12.1 — From where did the inspiration for your current WIP come?

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.19 — Do you need to finish a work before starting another?
I probably should. Let's put it this way, I always *try* to, but I've usually got a few going at the same time. It's just the way with me. But I finish up things as I go along. I never overwhelm myself.
#WritersCoffeeClub 3.20 — Who is your ideal reader?
Those who enjoy slow burn romance, dark romance, or romantasy stories.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.21 — Do you celebrate any writerly anniversaries or special occasions?
This is a really good question, and it's also rather sweet to think about as well. I haven't done this yet, but I should! We should all celebrate the victories, no matter how big or small. Everything matters.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.22 — How do you organise your notes? (No notes?)
I *do* have notes, but they're never as clean as I want. I'm a bit messy but it always gets the job done for me, to be fair. My layout pages and outlines start off so neat in the beginning... If only they stayed that way.
I split my notes up like this:
• Character bios and their backstories
• Breakdown for chapters, their summaries
• Quick ideas I might randomly get at night
• Any and all worldbuilding ideas
• A glossary if it's needed (like for my cyberpunk series)
• Quotes to use for later, again from ideas at night -

There's one particular story that comes to mind for me. It wasn't original work, but a fanfiction piece. I got about six chapters in, and then I just... ran out of ideas.
Come to think of it, I really should continue that.
I don't have this problem with my novels, though. The ideas flow.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.24 — What do you feel when a loved one reads your work?
I write *with* my girlfriend sometimes, so I'm always thrilled whenever she reads my stories. We met and bonded over writing, becoming good friends, and eventually becoming more. So, really, that doesn't bother me. I love it. She also proofreads for me, sometimes. Stories are just our thing.
My mother occasionally reads some of my work as well. It took me ages to even share anything with her. But again, she's also thrilled and proud. She enjoys my work. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
As for anyone else in my family, well... I'll let you know when I get there.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.26 — How much of a break or hiatus do you take between works?
It depends. It's usually a break that takes place due to circumstances I have no control over, things going on in my life, with family, my mental health, etc. These things can't be helped. It's never a set amount of time, and it's always different whenever it happens.
The muse always returns, though.
