Interview with Danaeka Scrimshaw
What type of Curse is your favorite to write about: blaspheme, afflict, imprecate, or torment? Hex or jinx? By spell, object, or charm? I like to write about jinx afflictions through objects.
Are Curses forever?
I don't think curses are forever.
If you ever had the chance to use a Curse in real life, would you?
I am a witch and would never dabble in black magic.
Do you believe that in order for a Curse to work that the target of that Curse has to believe in it?
Not necessarily, but I think they need to be indifferent to curses and not, say, absolutely certain they don't work.
What swear word is your go-to Curse?
Fuck
