29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?

I draw my inspiration from music. As most of my stories and characters are created from Music. When my inspiration runs out I tend to switch through genres for a while just to listen to music until I feel that spark again

Ask me anything 😌

🥀 Love Quote #1

“You…you’re like sugar. So sweet, so tasty yet unhealthy. You’re so unhealthy yet I can’t get the smell, the taste of you out of my mouth. It’s addictive” ~ Osamu to Cherry

Love Quote #16 🥀

“Kill him, ya hayati, ya amar. Kill your husband and I’ll show you what it truly feels to be a queen- no, an empress. Especially at night.” ~ Necos to Vashti

🥀Love Quote #2

“It doesn’t matter to me whether you are some kind of god brought down to earth or a mere a demon, from the ranks of Jezoth ready to kill me…I’ll always love you. And I will always run to the ends of the earth if it means holding you in my arms, your majesty.” ~ Darius to Seraphina

🏵 which OC have you had the longest, what inspired them?

Ooo! Let’s gooo! Alright, so my longest oc has to be between Miss Rose and Seraphina. I created both when I was 8. Romania ( or Miss Rose) was actually inspired by me. She was what I wanted to become when I was older, a sophicated woman who was loved and admired by all with a KILLER fashion taste.

Seraphina was inspired by Avatar: the last air bender and Twenty one pilots. Which is kind of funny now that I think about it. I was watching avatar on my way home one day and listen to twenty one pilots at the same time and that’s how she came about!

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice...what do you Know?

I know a lot. A lot of which that could probably put me on the FBI watchlist.

Scene sneakpeak 🥀

Citrus. That’s what I smelt when I placed my face against her neck. Sweet, tangy citrus.

The more I smelt the more I became more aware of my surroundings. I became more aware of who was currently in my arms. My grip tightened on her skirts as I took one last breath of her scent in, growling lowly “Adelola..” I felt her shiver, her head turning to look back at me.

Those eyes. Those beautiful golden big eyes that stared back at me with an emotion I can’t quite place. A small sweet smile graced her face “Yes, Connie?”

And then somehow, I become even more aware. She isn’t mine. She’s Necos’. I clenched my jaw at the realization. She isn’t Constantine’s. She isn’t mine. She belongs to Necos.

“Come back to my room with me, Lola.” The words left my lips before I could stop them. My brain told me to stop, to not go further with this. But the way her eyes shifted into something more intoxicating kept me put.

Her delicate fingers snaked up to my face as she laughed airly. “You want me to go back to your room with you?”

I nodded, my face set in determination “Yes.”

She hummed lightly, tapping my cheek as she went into deep thought. “What about your boss?”

I scowled “My boss?”

Adelola studied my face, a sly grin forming on hers. She leaned forward, leaving a few inches between our faces, her voice dropping to a whisper “Necos, Connie. What about him?”

My scowl deepened. I tightened my grip on her, as if letting her go would have Necos swinging around the corner to snatch her up. “To hell with him.”

I must have said the right thing because the next thing I knew I was being dragged off of the dance floor and towards the entrance of the building. I watched her back as she moved, storing away each away of her hip and the bounciness of her curls in the back of my mind.

She’s mine. She will be. I’ll make sure of it.
