I am an aspiring writer under the pseudonym of Lolita Alaine.
Writing has always been a passion of mine. I am a terribly dramatic
and slightly bizarre character. Writing is the easiest for me to
express my whimsicality.
Q. Why did you start writing?
A. In my opinion, writing is the simplest form of the expression. It is an art. Being an Artist, I am naturally drawn to any forms of artistry.
Q. Who is Lolita Alaine?
A. Lolita Alaine is a pen name I chose for myself. It is taken from variations of my two favorite writers, Lewis Carrol and Edgar Allan Poe. Lewis - Lolita. Allan- Alaine. Simple enough. It means, precious sorrow.
Q. What are you currently working on?
A. Currently, I am working on two stories: one is a fantasy short story without a title and the other is a science-fiction trilogy entitled, The Arcane. I'm afraid I don't give the stories enough attention, I am working on time management. Pray for me. I need it! Also, pray that the plot-bunny attacks stop, please!
Q. What inspires you to write?
A. Honestly,
can I say myself? It is a selfish statement, I know, but it is
true. I can't hold all these ideas in, they have to be shared. (Cue
Princess and the Frog. Only a true Disney fan would understand that
reference.) Writing for me is like shopping, it is an obsession. It's
all I think about, though I rarely have a chance to compose more than
two chapters a day.A. In my opinion, writing is the simplest form of the expression. It is an art. Being an Artist, I am naturally drawn to any forms of artistry.

Q. What are your greatest challenges as an aspiring authoress?
A. Grammar. You can learn all you want, but it's still a pain to execute. And I cannot forget -Time! Time is such a bully, but I mustn't insult him again! Honestly, time is my greatest adversary, working against him is extremely...trying.
Q. What is the main idea of this blog?
A. I started this blog as a way to track my thoughts and ideas as I write. To tell the truth, it's a way to stop me from going insane! (I think that last word deserves an "even more" behind it.) I figured I could entertain a few folks with my inner-thoughts and workings. (Cue evil smile and maniacal laugh.) I would love for other aspiring writers to follow this blog and post. Maybe it will evolve into a little community of writers, helping and inspiring each other.
Q. Who are some of your favorite Authors?
A. I have so many! I will name the few on the top of my head:
Edgar Allan Poe
Lewis Carrol
H.G. Wells
Hans Christian Andersen
Brüder Grimm (Brothers Grimm)
Alexandre Dumas
James Patterson
Suzanne Collins
Rick Riordan
Veronica Roth
And that's only a few!
I hope these few questions have given you a little insight into the fantastic world of Lolita Alaine! Hopefully posts won't be as sporadic as my writing. I am excited about this blog and I hope it spreads far and inspires many.
Bis zum nächsten Mal!* Until next time!
*No, I do not speak German. I wish I did, and hope to learn soon. However, you will see many words in German on this blog! :D Because it's just a great language, I must promote it!
