1.) What's your favorite or one of your favorite Bible verses?
Favorite as in fond of funnily, because memes aren't the place, I feel, to get deep and personal about one's devotion, there's one, I think in Job, something like, "The horse in his nose sayeth Haha!"
2.) What's your favorite literary genre and why? (ie. historical fiction, fantasy, etc.)
Probably fantasy, in the broadest sense. Fairy taley, but I often like it to have a bit of post-industrial civilization in it.
3.) What's your favorite (or one of your favorite) play or musical, and why?
The Seafarer by Conor McPherson. See the description here as to why:
4.) Favorite season and why?
Summer, because we'd go to Minnesota, and now that I live in Minnesota, because it's such a burst of warmth and life after the everlasting cold.
5.) What are you listening to right now?
Fey Sisters choral version from the Ace Attorney movie soundtrack.
6.) What's your personal favorite quality about yourself?
Ability to get extremely excited over transcendent symbolic analysis of fiction and use that to motivate desire for others' salvation....? Eeehhh I dunno this is embarrassing.
7.) What's your least favorite quality about yourself?
Sinfulness, doi. Details are for my confessor.
8.) What are your artistic dreams?
Completing all the stories below.
9.) What artistic projects are you working on right now?
All the stories below.
10.) What's one of the best things you've ever done/or ever accomplished?
Drafting the coat of arms of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. Whether or not my works achieve lasting fame, that will be part of Church history.
11.) What are your artistic inspirations?
Lolita fashion, industrial architecture, Sandro Botticelli, Charles Dana Gibson, Natsumi Mukai, etc.
12.) What's your Temperament? (Fish-Eater's Medieval Personality Type Quiz: www.fisheaters.com/quiz1.html )
I always thought it was Phlegmatic, but according to that quiz it's Melancholic.
13.) What's your Myers-Briggs personality type? (If you don't know, here's a little personality test: www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/j… )

The Maze of the Warlord
I got advice from that author I mentioned; I won't be doing all that she recommended but she did bring into relief what needs adjusting. Mainly I have to figure out all the features of the maze. I just got The Man in the Maze by Robert Silverberg, one of my main inspirations, so I will reread that. (I must not fall into the trap Silverberg does: he clearly thinks the characters are the most interesting thing in his story but it's totally the maze. I must give my maze its due!
