I want to do a creative/meta meme but there is nothing going around, and it's not like I have that much fic to be asked about*. But ask me writing questions anyway?

*I had to remove that part, it is a dirty dirty lie where I am concerned.

'Writing questions' can mean pretty much anything you want it to mean, my sweets. I have a lot of work to do tonight and I'm going to need something to do in my breaks.

Yes, it does make a good deal of sense; there is, if not a world, a good deal of difference in the meanings of those two lines and also in what the word choice suggests about the power relationships between the speaker and the person to whom the offer is directed. And, yeah, I've spent far too long tweaking sentences because they didn't have the right beat or sound; that tends to be how I figure out a character's voice, based on the sound and cadence.
