Five For Friday
Nov. 8th, 2024 06:23 amI caught Fox's lung infection, yay. So far I mostly have a minor cough and a sore throat, but I also feel tired and wiped out. Hot beverages help the throat but the caffeine isn't giving me the kick I need to function normally. I hope this is over soon.
One of the smoke detectors went off early this morning. Fox is always telling me they're all supposed to go off, they're wired together or something, but I've only noticed one going off at any given time. It went off for a few minutes and stopped on its own. I'm going to check the battery today, I have some extras, but it may simply be dusty. I think these are the sort that use a laser light to detect particles, so it may just need to be blown out.
Anyway, Friday Five.
1. Where do you get ideas/inspo for your writing?
Sometimes through RP sessions, sometimes real life events, sometimes simply woolgathering. Usually a combination of all three.
2. Do you have a favorite place to write?
Not exactly, but I find I'm often either sitting on the couch, or on the floor at the coffee table.
3. What are your tricks for getting through writers block?
Go write something else. The less it has to do with whatever I'm blocked on the better. It doesn't even have to be "real writing," it can be journaling, and I just let my mind wander. Reading can also help.
4. Favorite genre to write? Do you have a different favorite genre for reading?
I rather enjoy writing natural observations but I don't usually bother sharing them. These usually end up in my journals. Otherwise I guess what I write is like fantasy slice of life? I've never really given a lot of thought to what my genre is. But I read pretty widely, I mostly just avoid romance. I'm not interested in those kinds of stories.
5. What is something you really want to write but haven't gotten around to yet?
I really want to finish "Lora" at some point, it feels like it's eating my life.
The elliptical machine came yesterday, but it took half the day to get it hauled inside the house and assembled. We broke the box open in the truck and carried it inside in pieces because it was so heavy. But it seems to work well and Fox is pleased with it. It's remarkable how quiet it is.
