WEEKLY CHECK-IN: Tickety boxes and a couple of questions

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

[Poll #1824744]

Now that you've started hyperventilating thinking about your story, are any particular songs coming to mind, like "Please release me (Let me go)" or "A Whumping hunting we will go?"

Any particular writing/vidding/drawing survival must-haves at your house? I have to drink pots and pots of tea (probably explains why I always have the lads consuming copious amounts) and my mate Cherry has to listen to the Bee Gees... don't ask.

Or, if none of this foolishness appeals to you, feel free to just check-in and let us know how it's going.

It's quite hard to explain. Quite often there are huge chunks of text which just literally need typing. That's more usual for non-fiction of all kinds, including this reply. More frequently for stories there is a kind of film - like an 'episode' - that I can play and replay in my head and then describe when I type. Plans tend to be silent movies and dialogue is added in the first (in-head)draft. Once I'm typing I might tweak vocabulary or sentence structure but the story flows. I can only say that the internal work is quite hard - it's just that it doesn't have to be done at a keyboard or with a notebook.
