superhero_musesI've been in the US and Peru! And now am back in Japan trying to figure out how we're going to conduct university life when no group over 10 people is supposed to gather in one place. During entrance exams. It's going to be a challenge.
--What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?
"Interesting," I don't know about! I do think I overuse adverbs, alas. For "quirk" more than "flaw" I look at the essay I'm almost done writing and catch one, which is a tendency to use parenthetical comments to get my own emotions across in an otherwise factual passage. For example' "After his loss (another loss, so many losses), Sami picks up the mic and informs the applauding crowd that they’re what’s wrong with WWE, what’s wrong with him."
What have you been working on and what quirks have made it into your writing of it?

My original writing has been going full-steam ahead. I've got some fanfic in the queue, and I may finally be getting around to the Han/Luke wedding! Oh, and Evil fandom is giving me fresh ideas. :)
