#WordWeavers 17/2: Would you still write if you had to use a typewriter or pen and paper?
Typewriter? Sure, maybe, but it'd be riddled with spelling mistakes, as i type fast and need to fix em after dumping a few paragraphs.
Pen and paper? No, my handwriting is atrocious

For Sam it's just average unremarkable blue.
For Nyxel it's a different stories. Green-yellow pre transformation, pure Green after. Irises in the form of a three pointed slit, like a cat's eyes but with an extra pointy bit.

What would you tell a fellow writer struggling with self-doubt?
To always believe in that voice deep inside of you that has a story to be told. Your instincts are never wrong, even if you struggle with the mechanics of getting your story into the light of day.

Tough to pick. Fun turns of phrase and the "I love it when a plan comes together" at novel size are both great.
