Writing habits, do you have them?
I have to admit, not-writing is more of a habit than writing, these days. XD Hmm, let's see. While I will still write on whatever's convenient at the time, these days it's almost exclusively on the computer. Which is both a good thing (no re-writing into notepad necessary, plus not losing the paper) and a bad thing? I find that switching it up usually has a good effect on ideas, so I should probably do that more. I'm trying to think of things here that won't trample on a later question about my writing process. XD I absolutely CAN NOT write porn if there's someone else in the room. Procrastination is a huge writing habit. Um... I like to have music on when I write. It inspires me, sets a mood... however, this also can be bad, because if a song comes on that brings on a completely different mood than before, it can inspire a new bunny/direction for the fic. That happened to me just recently, actually. BE CAREFUL WITH MUSIC. That being said, I do tend to have particular songs permanently connected in my mind with particular fics. Not all of them, mind, but some. It's usually the song or songs that helped inspire/shape the bunny to begin with, but not always. Some fics even have multiple songs- there's a fic in my bunny folder that has Happy by Saving Jane, Mr. Know It All by Kelly Clarkson, and Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects- yes, it's a very happy fic, how could you tell? XD. There's another one that comes directly from It Gets Better by Tondrick Hall and can't POSSIBLY end well. Oops.
Speaking of oops, this whole thing basically ended up being about music. Heh. ^_^;;;
(Oh yeah, if you have a question/topic/whatever for me, the original post is here!)
