name : xiomara  (but pls call me xo!)
birthday : feb 28

tumblr : N/A
ao3 : nonheather 

fic that you want to recommend : jetsam by rinsed! it's really really really great and it flows like smoke. it wanders and weaves with the stream of consciousness reflection our generation struggles with every day.
fave fic written : neon fruit market
fave genre (of fic) : science fiction
fave writers : {fic writers} goldenhearts, rinsed, sesquipedalia / {novelists} kurt vonnegurt, haruki murakami, han kang & ta-nehesi coates
how long have you been writing : professionally for less than a year. fic writing for about 8 years. all together 12 years.
advice for writers : it is so easy to get discouraged and so hard to stay positive. there will be days when you feel like you want to quit writing altogether, days when you can't help comparing yourself to someone else. it's okay to feel that disappointment but don't ever succumb to it and don't ever take it as the truth. you must persevere. think of van gogh. no one appreciated anything he made when he was alive but he still made them because being an artist was in his bones. so write! and don't compare the bottom of your ladder to the top of someone else's.

what motivates you : movies! and my life but MOVIES!
if you could have 1 superpower : teleportation not only so i could sneak into movie theatres but also i can help anyone who need me without distance getting in the way.
what can someone do to make you feel supported and loved : i'm very needy when it comes to my writing so if you read it please tell me one thing you liked about it. you could legit say " i liked that song you referenced " and i'll feel loved for a decade.

hardest thing about writing : transferring the scenes you see in your head to words that will create the same image. my problem is that i write prose like i'm writing a movie and sometimes forget to describe the look of things. but then you don't want to overdo it and describe too much. uphill battle.
easiest thing about writing : choosing what you want to write and picking nice titles!
