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

[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.

Ive always started at the beginning and written to the end--I edit as I go along and once I get to the end, someone else edits. I rarely write scenes out of order. I do love the action scenes and tell myself firmly that I have to write the 'boring bits' (between action and exciting scenes) as interestingly as the action or no one will want to read them.

I can't write an outline to save my life and usually know the beginning of the story before I start and an approximation of the end. The middle sections just build on one another until we all arrive at the end, slightly surprised to be there!

My mother was a huge hot tea drinker, so I followed suit. I live for tea--it can be hot, cold, milky, Chai latte--however. I like tea.
