Day 29 of Writing Meme

( Days 1 to 28 )

29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?

All. The. Time. I've always got the writer brain humming in the background, working on something so that when I check back on it I'll have the full scene in my head. I tend to plot in images, so when I come back to it it usually unfolds as a clip or a specific scene.

That's why I can't pinpoint a single thing IRL that reminds me of my story/characters. It's such a subconscious process to begin with that I can't really trace the origin of everything. Sometimes it's cool clothes I see. Othertimes it's a piece of music. Sometimes it's just rewatching a series and thinking "wouldn't it be cool if - ?"

The latest example is Hitohira no Hanabira, since I plotted an entire story around the lyrics in that song. But it's moving very slowly.


Tomorrow! - 30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
