I've read quite a bit of your writings. What inspired you to write Gabriel's Warriors?
Morte
My friends. Each of the characters is based off one of my friends (and one of them based off of me). Kalilee was based off of Kayla, Harler was based off of Haley, Junia was based off of Jen, and Rycel was based off of me. The characters are dramatizations of all of us, which is why its so easy to write, because I know all of the characters so well and how they would react.
RachelReaper
Alot of writer's use people they know as inspiration. I personaly use things I identify with such as vampires. So, why did you use angels?
Morte
It was actually an old joke that all of the four of us made up. We're all known for being pretty morbid, so we made this joke "what if we were angels"? The idea came up from there.
RachelReaper
I see, freinds are the best, aren't they? Have freinds helped you with writing in any other ways other than inspiration?
Morte
yes, definitely. My friend, Haley, the crazy one I described as the angel "Harler" was a great writer as well (though psycho), she actually helped me write one of my first vampire short stories a few years ago when i was just getting started in writing. Other than that, i don't think I could live without my friends, they mean everything to me.
RachelReaper
I know how you feel there. Life is so rough these days, without freinds I don't think I could have made it this far. Have you thought about a tribute to freinds, or anyone else?
Morte
I've made a few tributes. One on WC wasn't written towards my friends, but towards one of my favorite bands Shinedown. Its called "Shining Down on a 45" Based off there song "45". Music is another inspiration of mine.
RachelReaper
I read that piece too, and I found it so interesting. I think Shinedown would've loved to read it too. Speaking of music, is there any bands that you think are great for writing music?
Morte
Yeah. Have you ever heard of Imagine Dragons? Their lyrics get to me every time, especailly their song "Demons".
RachelReaper
No, I haven't. Have you ever tried Nightwish? They're amazing, especially for writing. Atleast when you write dark peices. Have you written any pieces that are considered "dark"?
Morte
Yes, but I don't post many of them online.
RachelReaper
Why? If that isn't too personal?
Morte
No, of course its not. Its just that my darker things bring out a part of me that I don't like to reveal to most people. It makes me feel rather monster-like and I'm only monster-like at certain times. I don't like people to see that side of me.
RachelReaper
I bet people here would love to read, but I understand not publishing certain peices. So, speaking of peices, do you have any advise for our readers on writing peices?
Morte
Yes, I do. Write what feels right to you, write what you believe in. Words are power, the world can be changed by words on a page and the actions that follow them, so write what you mean to say. Your going to have people that love you and hate you, but don't be too influenced by either crowd.
David? I gtg. If there were anymore questions, can you ask them later?
RachelReaper
No more questions, Rachel. Thank you for your time, I know it's very valiable. Have a lovely night, and a grand future as a writer
I like how you aren't just showing us who these people are as writers but a glimpse of who they are as people too. Great idea
