26. Let’s talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him! I did try to draw Kindra once, but it ended up being a pretty bad picture. Instead I let my friends draw my characters. And on very rare occasions I

20. What are your favorite character interactions to write? Hmmm, I’m really not sure for this question. I love to write fight scenes (verbal, not physical), so Lane and Rebecca are high up on my list of who I love to write interacting with each other. But I also love it when Gar goes all
