Hehe, let's do a survey type thing. It's great to get into the mind of other writers and see how they function and work. Oh, this is mainly for fiction writers. But if you write non-fiction, jump aboard anyway!

1. At what time of day/night do you normally write?
2. What do you think is a good daily average of words for a writer? Whether they be a beginning writer or advanced.
3. Are your dreams the main idea-generator? Or do you have random outbursts of inspiration?
4. What do you think of fanfiction?
5. Do your characters take on a life of their own? Do they manipulate your fingers instead of the other way around?
6. Antagonists? What are the best traits you believe can be put in an antagonist?
7. Are a few cliches allowed in your writing, or do you steer away altogether? What are some cliches that are 'okay' in terms of story telling?
