1. Favorite time of day is probably 3 am. I'm such a night owl and it almost feels like time is frozen around then.

2. Biggest weakness is probably being such a people pleaser and allowing myself to be taken advantage of because of it. I've been working with my therapist on making myself a priority and not overextending myself.

3. (I also asked my friends this question lol) my compassion and resiliency, although my compassion can be my biggest weakness, it can also be my biggest strength (I just gotta find that balance lol) and I've been through waaaaayyy too much shit in my life but I keep going and I'm doing better every day

4. A vice to give up?

Oof, I wish I could give up overthinking LMAO.

5. An important cause to me:

My former high school is working on building a mental health/general health clinic that's free for students and families to help them get care and support throughout schooling and I'm reaching out to do whatever I can to support. This is something I could've used while I was in high school and I'm excited to see how it goes.

6. Best compliment:

That I'm inspiring for overcoming so much and still being a kind and genuine person (always makes me tear up)

And that I'm funny lol

7. I am most inspired when I see people like Scarlett who love what they do and take time to interact and get to know their fans/readers/cult.

8. I'm a savory bitch lol. I love pretzels hahahaha. ( when I'm on my period, I crave sour candy )

9. A song on repeat: that changes constantly, but right now it's probablyyyy Love Me Dead by Ludo

10. What makes me smile most is my boyfriend. And wings, definitely wings.

11. Window seats, I feel so exposed in the aisle and I like to cuddle against the wall.

12. This is a tough one... the most adventurous thing I've ever done (that I can think of at the moment) would be when my friend and I were exploring a creek and we both slipped and fell into a sewer and were stuck down there for 6 hours trying to get out. And since we were in 5th grade and didn't have cell phones AND it was winter and slippery with ice... it was a whole adventure lol.

13. 3 words.....

I am Empathetic. Resilient. Curious (which can get me in trouble lol)

14. Fave clothing:

At the moment, my giant blue hoodie that has a cartoon shark on it.

15. Best piece of advice:

Treat yourself the way you treat your friends. Stand up for yourself the way you would stand up for those you love.

16. Ummmm diamonds? I guess?

17. When first meeting someone, I always pay attention to how they interact with others.

18. Favorite board game:

I actually love board games, my favorite right now is Avatar the Last Airbender: Crossroads of Destiny

19. Current read:

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

20. How I start my day:

I stare at the ceiling for a bit, then get up, get dressed, brush teeth, wash face, eat some type of breakfast (usually a bagel & coffee) then take meds.

21. Favorite holiday:

Any Holiday that I get off from work lol.

22. I always have lip balm, water bottle & inhaler whenever I go anywhere

23. COFFEE for SURE

24. Favorite movie(s):

The 10th Kingdom, The Other Woman, IT

25. Favorite band:

Oooooo, idk.... favorite singer though, has always been Michael Buble

26. Something you don't wanna be doing in 10 years:

Overthinking, lol

27. Best thing this year:

Literally just bought a house TODAY

28. Clothing: I wear black, blue & gray the most

29. I don't like surprises....

30. Astrology? Yeah, I don't know anything about it but if the moon works the tide and we're like 70% water, then it probably impacts us somehow.

31. Spiritual experience:

Yes. Not quite ready to explain, but it was good.

32. Ways to lose my trust:

Hurting people I care about. Lying.

I agree about how time is frozen around 3am, that's why I like waking up at 4 and also, LMAO I love your rational for zodiac signs.

But omg you were stuck in a sewer?

Congratulations on buying your house!! That is so amazing.

I too drop everything for my dog. 😊 They’re just too darn cute. I also appreciate the honesty about the plane seat. I hate crawling over people to use the bathroom when I’m on a long flight. 😅

Once, I asked the guy next to me to get up so I could go, and he said of course, but then just remained seated so I had to crawl over him to get out of the seat. It was so awkward.

Loved this post, Scarlett! You really are genuine. Not many authors would just outright talk about how sitting in the aisle seat on a plane is great because it's easier to get out to pee. 😂

Okay here I go 😅

Favorite time of day - either 11-1 (don’t ask idk) or 5-8!

Biggest weakness - ahh, I think it has to be giving too many chances and not setting boundaries

Biggest strength - honestly have no idea, can I ask you?😂

One vice - sometimes not all the time, social media doom scrolling

Cause that’s important - as a teacher, education/libraries are 100%, but also animal shelters

Best compliment - that I have a huge and kind heart

Most inspired - when I see the click in a student’s eyes

Sweet or savory - depends on the mood, fries i milkshakes anyone?

Makes you smile most - animals, books, family/friends

Window or aisle seat - I love the window view but I have to say aisle, I don’t like feeling trapped

Most adventurous - took a bus to nyc for the day all by myself to see a play in the part of nyc I’d never been to because my friend couldn’t fo last minute and I really wanted to see the play

Three words to define yourself - passionate. Empathetic, maybe energetic? Loyal?

Clothing - it’s summer but I still love all my crewnecks

Best piece of advice - everything happens for a reason, but also my motto is find your happy

Diamonds or pearls - I like pearls but diamonds go with more and are sparkly

Something you notice when you first meet someone - their vibe/energy, what they’re passionate about

Fave board game - I love board games! I’d say Clue

Currently reading - A Curse of Frost and Stone by Lara Buckheit (beta) and A Lover’s Worth by S. A. Parker

How do you start your day? - I HAVE to make the bed, absolutely have to, then have either tea or coffee

Favorite holiday - Christmas or Easter, but I also love the fall and Halloween time

Always travel with - chapstick. Backup chapstick. Backup backup chapstick hahah, also a scrunchie and migraine pills

Coffee or tea - both! Iced coffee or hot green tea

Favorite movie - oh this question always gets me and always changes even though I’m not a big solo movie watcher - Miracle, Legally Blonde, Now You See Me, Dirty Dancing (I adore everything about this movie)

Favorite band - band would be Big Time Rush

Something you don’t want to be doing in 10 years - being anxious about work

Best thing that happened this year - questions like these are hard for me because I always end up with so many amazing memories with so many wonderful people and I hate singling one out and feeling like I’m not acknowledging the rest 🫣

Color clothing you wear most - blue or olive

Surprises - I love them but I’m also horrible at keeping them but they also make me anxious soooo…do with that what you will

Believe in astrology - I also don’t really understand it but the things I know make sense to me so yes

Spiritual experience - do loved ones visiting in dreams count?

Quickest way to lose your trust - lying

I have to ask...11-1? Is it because it's lunch? Is it a teacher thing? HAHA.

1. My favorite time of the day is 12am-4am because it is quiet and my brain is not racing with random thoughts.

2. I am a people pleaser. if someone asks me to go somewhere even though I have things to do than i'll go.

3. determination is my biggest strength even though half of my goals are unrealistic.

4. I am not sure what i'd give up because I have already given up this year on vaping, soda, fast food etc.

5. Mental health and Autoimmune disease groups. I support them because my mental health is important and I have rheumatoid arthritis. I like to bring awareness.

13. Detailed-oriented, outgoing, and quirky :)

14. My dresses are my favorite. I would love love to dress as if i were in the regency era again.

15. Honestly, I think its something that I think all the time... "What do you have to lose?" if you want to do something and you're scared ask yourself that question and if it is nothing than go for it. life is too short.

27. I went to apollycon in april and met a lot of amazing people including you!!

28. Mostly blues or reds
