30 Day Ficmeme - Days 25, 26, 27
Nov. 4th, 2015 10:58 pmI will finish this meme, so help me God.
25: Music: Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
Only music with no lyrics! Otherwise I get hella distracted... Mushroom sent me some amazing creepy fairytale music when I was writing my Merlin Horror entry, and that helped me get in the mood a lot, so maybe I should look into assembling some playlists.
26: What is the oddest (or funniest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
Depression era bank robbers for my Bonnie and Clyde Morgwen au! Also depression era bare knuckle boxing (apparently I have a thing for the 1930s), which was super fascinating! I found so much cool stuff out and then basically none of it could go in my tiny 750 word pornathon entry. One day I will use all that research...
27: Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer
I like to write in bed! But my back hates me for it. And I usually write by hand and then transfer. I write on my lunch break at work now, which is good because I'm usually too tired when I get home... but also I have to hunch over my notebook obsessively whenever anyone walks by, in my eternal and constant paranoia that anyone actually gives a shit about what I'm doing.
