Congrats on the spotlight, u/bookworm271! Love your stories!
To follow with tradition, I hope you don't mind a few questions:
- What's your favorite setting to write in?
- If you could only write one thing, what would it be?
- Poetry or prose?
- Flash fiction or short story?

Thank you!
Usually my favorite place to write is in the comfort of my own home, preferably on the couch. Keeping a cup of tea handy always helps, and if I'm in the mood, I'll listen to instrumental music. Occassionally I'll handwrite a story before typing it up, as it allows for a little more time for the words to flow.
If I could only write one thing, I may need to twist the rules a bit and create an expansive universe with dozens of characters to put in stories. It would likely have a bit of fantasy to really allow for a wide range of possibilities.
I definitely prefer prose to poetry. Poetry is not my strong suit - I feel like it has more "rules" than prose, and I'm a bit unsure as to what makes a poem good. While I haven't attempted to write much poetry, I do like to read the occasional novel in verse.
I prefer short stories over flash fiction. My usual approach towards anything with a word limit is to write, then sigh when I realize how much I need to cut. That being said, I really like the challenge Follow Me Friday presents to tell a portion of a story in limited words.
