Get to Know Me Writers Tag: Firsts and other things

 Thanks to a lovely blogger and author I follow, I've been given the freedom to do this tag without being "tagged" specifically, the one and only–Hannah Heath!
 It sounded like fun, and I'm wanting all the practice of writing and thinking I can get in before November strikes.

 On we go!


~Rules~

1. Link back to the amazing person who created the tag: Savannah Grace
2. Thank the sweet person who tagged you: Thank you for the open tag, Hannah!
3. Share the graphic below (optional): I can't seem to insert the graphic unfortunately. But go to Savannah or Hannah's blogs and you'll see it!
4. Lastly, tag 11 bloggers: How about, anybody that reads this is free to do it if they want! ^-^



Appearances


(pen)Name: Mae Fort, currently!

Nicknames: In my writing circle of NaNoWriMo, Dreamer, Sherlock, and once I was called Dreamer-of-Impossible-Things.

Birthday: December–*static*

Hair Color and Length:  Dark brown with some natural highlights, and just above my waist.

Eye Color: Dark green on the outside, with a starburst of brown from the center, both very dark.

Braces/Piercings/Tattoos: No/One on my left ear/None.

Righty or Lefty: A righty, learning to become ambi.

Ethnicity: I know mostly, but some of it is only known by word of mouth, so... we'll say a mixture of European ethnicities with a few American ones?


First

Novel Written: A very poorly based rip-off of 'The Blue Sword' when I was ten.

Novel Completed: A very dramatic spy/espionage story when I was 12 or 13, I usually don't speak of it anymore. XD

Award for Writing: None that I know of, unless my parents gave me something when I was younger. I've never entered any contests or the like.

Publication: Nothing yet, but hopefully that'll change someday!

Conference: Also not yet, but someday. :)

Query/Pitch: I think I need to finish my story first. ;)


Favorite


Novel (that you wrote): Do short stories count for this? Because it's totally a short serial story that I've been writing for my friends.

Genre: Fantasy! With Sci-Fi being an ever so close second.

Author: William Joyce!

Writing Music: This really depends on what story I'm working on, because I have separate playlists for all of them and all in different genres/moods.  (It varies between things like Skillet and Fall Out Boy for one, and Enya and other melodic things for another.)

Time to Write: Whenever I can write uninterrupted, usually morning, or late at night when everybody else is doing their own thing.

Writing snack/drink: I try not to snack when I write, when I do though it's either sugar or something really healthy. But I try to keep water close at hand to stay hydrated.

Movie: Honestly, no single favorite. The Rise of the Guardians, The Secret of Moonacre, and too many more. If you want a longer list, all you need to do is ask!

Writing Memory: I've got a few, but the first one to come to mind was me writing over 1k words during a Word War on NaNoWriMo with a 15 minute time limit.

Childhood Book: A Day with Wilbur Robinson, hands down!


Currently

Reading: The Kon Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl, a fabulous reread. As well as The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, a reread many times over.

Writing: The ending to my serial story mentioned above, it's a bit finicky.

Listening To: Nothing, but For King and Country sounds like a good idea right now.

Watching: Um, well at the moment nothing. But I'm currently making my way through one of the newest Glitter Force shows on Netflix. Other than that it's mostly rewatching other things.

Learning: Japanese! Albeit, slowly. (Sorry to my study buddy for not having been in contact in forever, I have been practicing!!!)


Future

Want to be published: I would like that some day!

Indie or traditional: I really don't know, I see the pros and cons of both. I guess it would depend on which story I was intending on publishing...

Wildest Goal: Being a well known children and young adult writer who makes fabulous art to go along with my dazzling stories! ^-^ To illustrate my own books has always been a part of the deal in my own mind.



 I hope you enjoyed reading that, I had fun writing it!
I am still working on getting my new website up and running, thank you for your patience!

 Have a wonderful day, and let me know if you've done the tag as well!

-Mae

Resolutions

 Resolutions can be quite strange can't they? One moment you're wondering about something, then something in you just decides–No. You're not going to do that any more.  I often wonder if others feel this way. If you are just thinking about a part of your life, that hasn't changed in forever, yet you wonder why you just let it keep going. Till finally, one day just out of the blue, you take a stand and say, "No more."  Mine are always when I expect them least. Which is a good thing I suppose! Though, I often wonder why I hadn't taken that ability into my hands sooner, since I had them all the while.  The resolution, to not let something in your life keep you stuck. To let something keep you from doing what you need to, or wanting to. Knowing that if you throw in everything you've got, that you'll no longer be a slave to that thing that's keeping you stuck.  I know with others, it can be more difficult with certain things, but you can't

A life and a love

 Dear Reader, I chose this particular title, because I just finished reading/looking at a story of another blogger, who drew each day of his and his wife's life for 365 days. But putting together specifically the days that he drew of them together.  And I must say, it was the sweetest story that I have read. The Drawings of Curtis Wiklund and his wife Jordin.  I have no other words to say than these, and these simple words say it all. I love this story. I love their story. I love that they made a story and told it to the world in one of the most magnificent ways possible. I love it that it's a story that is of the beauty real life holds. I love it all. And I love the story of life. And the story that God's given me. For although it was said, no one is told any story but their own. I take it to mean, it doesn't say that, you don't hear of another's story, but the only story that you will ever see through your own eyes...    ... is your own. -C

So I broke my phone

 Not that that's anything really super new to the world of people who have owned phones, it can happen.  Mine just happened to be right before my parents picked me up from youth group.  Not only that, it cracked in a rather magnificent way, making it almost look like a canyon ravine was on the screen of my phone, with swirling rock...  Other than that it still kinda sucked because I cracked my phone. It wasn't any special phone, not an iPhone or anything like that, just a cheap-o that you can get most anywhere, but aside from that. No way I'm holding it close to my face now while having a phone conversation.  On the upside! By some miraculous sensation, the camera is now almost always functioning correctly, whereas before it 98% of the time refused to even turn on correctly. Go figure :P
