3. What are your strong points?

I've always been proud of my grammar, but that's not really a skill as much as it is knowledge. In of skill, I believe I'm good at conveying emotions and personality through speech, expressions, and movement. From the I've gotten from different readers, my portrayal of characters is also something to note. When it comes to OCs of mine, I've been told they have a enough originality to make them interesting and unique. For portrayal of canon characters, people have been impressed with my ability to demonstrate their several sides, rather than just their most prevalent one.

4. What are your weak points?

Environment. I rarely ever describe the setting unless it's to set the mood. I am very much more interested in the actions and dialogue between characters, and don't want to waste the time describing what room they're in. I also fear setting things in stone and changing it later without realizing.

5. Which piece of 2020 was your most favorite? Why?

This is one of the few short stories I've written that's not romantic. Just a day at the beach with Night Eye's agency. It's told mostly from Eri's perspective, and I believe I do a good job of capturing her naivity and hesitant excitement at trying something new.

6. Which piece of 2020 was your least favorite? Why?

I had huge plans for this story. Several parts, a complex plot that isn't your typical slice-of-life, more than one conflict. And yet, after I finished writing it, it didn't live up to my expectations. I know it's only the first part, but it feels rushed and insincere. It needs to be taken slower, but I wonder if I have the patience.

7. What is something you improved on in 2020?

My self-confidence. Used to be, a lot of the stories I posted were deleted a week later. I would read through it and notice all the things that were cringey or just not good. I'd be my own worst critic, and convince myself to delete it from my profile so nobody would ever see it again. The lack of I got from the community didn't help, either. Amino isn't really a place people go to read fanfics.

8. What would you like to improve on in 2021?

Variety. Almost everything on my profile is romance. It's ironic, because I'm a bit of a Tsundere. Romance makes me uncomfortable and awkward. I need more action, angst, and adventure.
