1. What are your strengths as a writer?
I don't know.I can go off tangent and write on and on?
2. What are your challenges as a writer?
As opposed to the previous question... trying to stay on topic.
3. When did you last write creatively?
Huh... I guess when I last did the NaNoWriMo. Maybe 2014? Was it so long ago? Maybe I should have a go at it this year again? Dunno. I like reading more than writing.
4. Which writers did you especially enjoy when you were a student?
hm... I had a classmate called Mary. She read the Nancy Drew series. Whereas for me, I started with The Three Investigators Mysteries and then wanted to finish that first, before starting Nancy Drew. But I guess the school itself didn't have the complete collection,
so I never got around starting Nancy Drew. I was a voracious reader and read a lot. Charlie and the Charlie Factory (and then the Glass Elevator), Black Beauty, Call of the Wild, White Fang, Narnia series... Then in my graduating year of high school, we had heavier literature to read through, so the kiddy mysteries had to go. As with school-required readings, they usually were not fun, but I have to say I particularly enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. Cry, A Beloved Country was... I don't even remember what it's about... I was so off it. Flowers For Mrs. Harris was........ uneventful... (lesson learnt: don't lend your beloved things to people). I hated Wuthering Heights, read it again in recent years to see if my taste has changed, still hated it. Jane Eyre wasn't in our required reading, but I had a copy of the book, and the cover spooked me, I don't know why. I kept thinking the book was about some kind of crazy woman with mental illness or something. Read it in recent years and I rather liked it. And now the cover just looks like... a girl looking at you LOL.
5. What is your handwriting like?
I've always been told I have poor handwriting. I don't write in script/handwriting. My writing is more like blocks? I forget the exact term used, though I remember reading it. But there are certain alphabets I write with a flourish. I think my upper case As are the most impressive. Ending Gs and Ys get a rather interesting tail. I've been trying to get my lower case Ms and Ns a little more script-like, coz it'd look great when writing with a fountain pen LOL. My upper case Ms are confused. I sometimes write it like the block M (arches), but sometimes I write it like in script with the three waves, if you get what I mean. Oh, and if my Ns are following a lower case I, the tittle gets dragged along to the N. Alright, the iPad and pen doesn't give it the same effect, but it's more or less like this.
