Hello all! I'm back to answer another question!

This question is very special. I must have missed it while reviewing all of your comments, and I feel terrible that I haven't answered it until now!

This question is from GamerBlu , who said:

I personally believe that there is a Heaven and Hell, and God and Satan rule them. And meeting an angel? Hm. Are you sure she wasn't talking about you, Tintin? c;

Well, I'm back with another question, although I can't remember if you had answered it or not.

How do you feel about fan fiction that's written about you? I myself am writing a Tintin x Reader story, and it takes place in your Secret of the Unicorn adventure. It's not that very good in my opinion, and I still struggle to update it. (Even with copious amounts of people asking for it.)

Hello GamerBlu !

Hmm...now that I think about it, she might just have been talking about me, but who knows.

Fan fiction about me? I think it's great! I love the way people are able to use their creativity to build these grandiose stories (not to mention, they make me look kinda heroic don't they?). As for the romance ones, I tend to try not to read those as much, just because I have a girlfriend (Ms. Martine), but I have read a few of @grif2013 's and they are pretty good, I must admit.

Oh come on! I don't suppose it's that bad! You're just being hard on yourself is all! Chin up and be chipper (as my mother used to say).

Another question from GamerBlu from a while ago was this:

2017 wasn't a very good year for me, but I'm glad things went well for you! Another question I have is: What inspires you/gives you motivation? I've been in a rut with my writing for a while, and I've tried a lot of things, but nothing has worked so far.

I'm so sorry 2017 was a bad year for you! Hopefully 2018 was better, and 2019 will be even more so!

Inspiration, huh? One word: People.

People. Just people. Other writers, my girlfriend, my friends, the Captain, Professor Calculus, @grif2013 , Everyone around me gives me inspiration.

My advice for ruts in writing (as I often get stuck in, as well as @grif2013 ) is to write little bits at a day. It doesn't have to be a lot! Even a word a day would get you closer to your goal. Also, if you don't know what to do about where your going with what you're writing, look to the people around you. Read it aloud, and don't be embarrassed. Ask them what they would write, or how they would say something. Just remember that in life, you never have to do anything alone.

I hope that helped you, and thanks so much for your questions! Also, I'm so sorry for not answering them sooner!

I hope you all still have questions for me! Even if you just wanted to say hi, or have a request, I'm right here for you all!

Best of wishes, and until next time,

-Tintin
