All About Mwah!

1. What's you're name and do you like it, why or why not? (If you don't want to use your real name, username is absolutely fine!)

My Username is Hanako Megumi and I love my name. Hanako means Nature Child and Megumi means Blessed. Indeed I am blessed! Your name defines who you are. I love Nature and Animals so my name fits me perfectly.

2. Do you like animals? Why, why not? What's your favorite? (Anything in there. More the better, remember!)

I love Animals, I've grown up around Animals since I was a little kid. I love Dogs and Cats but my favorites are Horses! I absolutely love horses. I own paint horses myself. I also like ponies. I DO NOT however like Cows, sheep or Goats. I don't like cows because they're really nasty creatures. And I don't like sheep cause they're just funny looking! And Goats are mean, when I was kid they used to headbutt me all the time.

3. Do you have any siblings? If not, what about your parents? How do you feel about these people?

I have one brother, and he's okay. He's having some problems right now but we're sorting them out. My parents are great! My Dad is a school teacher, he teaches Band and my mom is a Graphic Artist. She does book covers and stuff.

4. Do you know me? (Hah. I like that one.)

I don't know you personally but you're probably a great person. I'd love to have you as a friend! I love having friends.

5. Where do you live? (This is optional. I understand some people might not want to answer it. I live in the U.S.!)

I live in the USA, Oregon. It's underneath Washington, I say that because I've had some people ask me where Oregon is. Like I live in Europe or something. lol. Oregon is a really pretty state, we have beautiful trees and lakes. And awesome parks.

6. Do you like music, and if so, how do you relate it to your writing?

I've gotten a lot of my inspiration from Music. I love hearing how the Violin strings caress the Violin. Or how a Piano key sounds when it's hit. These two instruments together make beautiful music. And a whole Orchestra sounds even better. I think most of my fight scenes were written while listening to Bach or Beethoven.

7. What is your favorite thing to write?

I am a FANTASY writer all the way! I love the magical and mystical things about Fantasy. I love reading it too, I have found myself often delving into FIction and Romance. Some horror as well. But I mostly like writing about Sorceress's and Wizards trying to protect or undo something. It's tons of fun!

8. Are you a people person?

So so, I really like talking to people but after a few days I get a little tweaked. I need my space every now and then and sometimes too much attention with people stops my creative flow. I have a strong ability to dream up stories then quickly jot them down. All four of my chinese fables were written in two hours or less. And came to me the day of writing.

9. Do you seem to have a lot of REAL friends?

I haven't had any best friends since I moved. I've just got friends. I wish I had my old best friend sometimes. We used to be able to tell each other everything. Now I don't have anyone I can tell my secrets to.

10. How do you feel about war?

War sucks! But you know, sometimes it has to happen. Or sometimes it's just going to happen. I wish we never had to deal with war but it's there. It was there when Japan was built, it was there when Rome took over Sarmatia and it was there when England and France fought. And it will always be there in one form or another. If I had a choice and could control the world I would deem fighting Illegal. Fighting that has to do with Death of course. People shouldn't kill each other.

11. Why do you like StoryWrite?

Because it allows me to be creative in my own way. And it also allows you to learn about the mistakes you didn't know you were making. People can also read your stories and give feedback. The only down issue is that you have to be a paid member to have a group.

12. What got you into writing?

I think dreaming basically. The first time I wrote something down was when I wanted to remember a dream. Then I think I put my own little creative flair into it and it just took off from there. Soon I was writing like crazy..I've come a long way from then though. And improved quite a bit.

13. Do you have a friend here that you really, really love?

I have a lot of people I like..but I haven't met anyone I really loved. I think the closest person that fall close to that question is probably Frozen Angel. She and I get along really well and we both love reading each other's stories. ANd, of course, we both love hosting contests. I see a big and bright future for us as friends.

14. Does your writing seem to effect the people around you?

I don't quite know. I think it only effects me. There's not much that I write about that my people can relate to.

**15. Why do you write?

I write because Writing sets you free and in a world of cages and bars it's nice to be able to fly in the sky. Writing allows you to create your own worlds and characters. You can fall in love with your main character and no one can know. Or you can hate your main character and make him die in the end. Whatever it is, it's your world and your story. You can do anything you want in writing. THAT is freedom. Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, Horror, Poetry and every other category out there allows you the freedom to write and be creative. We can't all be Artists or Musicians. Some of us were meant to be writers and I feel priviliged being able to read all these awesome stories people have written.
