Writer's Profile

[Dean Winchester]

Name: Dollard
Characters: Dean, Brother Devon
Writing Experience: On and off for fun since high school, so basically a long ass time. You would think I would be better at it?



Is there an author that influences you?

Yep. Robert Heinlein, Niel Gaiman (who is clever and witty as fuck!), and one Sir Terry Prachette (also clever, witty, and super fucking funny.)

Is there a genre you emulate?

Eh? I would be lying if I said that the book Good Omens by Prachette and Gaiman didn't influence my writing a little bit, I do love that book after all.

What do you feel defines your work?

I have no idea, honestly. I just write when I feel the mood come over me to do it and then I hope other people like it. If one thing I would like to think that I was decent enough at giving characters their own voices, or even being able to emulate the voices of predefined characters. If you are reading something and can HEAR Crowley or someone saying it in your head then I did my job.

What are your five main rules when you write?

1. WRITE! Do not procrastinate! Get at it! NOW! Stop being lazy you ass!

2. As you are writing dialogue try and say it in the characters voice, if it fits then keep it otherwise start again!

3. Make it fit the situation, do not interject too much comedy in a serious moment or vice versa. A little bit might work but try not to be a douche and destroy the tone.

4. Make it not suck, please? At least try!

5. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo! Why did you do that?! Think about this for once! Try again! Damn you....

Do you have any recurring issues you work on?

I tend to just talk about things sometimes instead of describing them. I also have a problem of over describing certain things that I should be talking about how the character feels about them sometimes. I don't know, grammar also need work.

Do you have a few posts you're particularly proud of?

Eeehhhhhhhhhh, they are ok. Go hunt them down and read them if you so wish.
