Writers as Readers

1) Honestly I can read just about anywhere, I read so much that I can tune out distractions fairly easily. But to be really comfortable I prefer to sit in my bed under the covers. I have my door shut and like everything to be quite. Well, not completely quite, I like to have my music going in the background, and I'll often sing along to my songs.

2) My preferred genres are Fantasy, Sci-fi, and (although I'm not sure these are genres) Manga and Fanfiction. I really like magic, and tales of wizards, elves, and other creatures of magic in Fantasy. I am drawn to Sci-fi because of Star Wars and the Mass Effect games. I love Manga (in specific Naruto and Fairy Tail) due to the amazing plots and humor. And I love Fanfiction because it allows me to find stories about anything I want from other stuff I like, such as Pokemon.

7) The first book I can remember reading was Eragon by Christopher Polini. It was during first grade, when my mom was teaching me to read. I didn't really read it, it was more mom reading it to me, but since then it has become one of my favorite books.

8) Oh now this is difficult. Hm...well my favorite fantasy series is the Inheritance Cycle, out of which I like Eragon the most. My favorite Sci-fi book...is probably...Battlefield Earth. My favorite Manga series is Naruto, which is about ninjas who throw around attacks such as "Fire Style: Flame Dragon Bullet". My favorite Fanfiction...hm...probably Fate's Gamble by Lupine Horror.

12) Well I know that I'm a better writer due to how much I read. Most of what I write is Fanfiction, which means I need to really know the original stories. For that I need to be a good reader. In addition, reading other peoples Fanfiction allows me to get new ideas and vocabulary for my own Fanfiction.
