I used to pass by the playground for the kindergartners every now and then back in highschool. Most of the time the swing was swinging by itself when nobody was even there. There was no strong winds there since it's inside the building. That's my paranormal experience.
My personal picks are war glaives, chakrams, and the humble macuahuitl. They're all pretty cool weapons in their own right. Pics for reference, in order:

As much as I'd love to write on paper, typing is more convenient. Sometimes my brain works faster than my hand so I'm prone to making errors like spelling mistakes and such. My first actual novel was handwritten actually, but I used a mechanical pencil for ease of use, so there's that!
My main motivation is I just want to tell a story. If it succeeds or not, doesn't really matter to me. As long as I put a piece of me out there, that's enough.
I'd say if I have to rate myself, I'd give it a six. I've been writing for a good three-ish years by now and I can see some improvement have been made. I don't want to be too egotistical to rate myself any higher as I know I still have plenty to learn.
