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 always lovely to see someone thrilled about chucking out work... Erm... *g*

Ah, as Virginia Woolf remarked no computer games a room of one's own.

I like classical when I'm attempting to beat a plot in to shape. I find Mozart particularly good. Otherwise, I'm pretty much listening to music if I'm conscious, even if it's just in my own head. :D

*g* I may not have to chuck out so much - more... condense things. ;)

I would kill for a room I could go into and close the door. Failing that, I'd just like to have a couple of days off where hubby and the kids bugger off to work and school and leave me in peace to write.

It depends on how deeply I am into the story. If I'm struggling, EVERY noise is a distraction - if I'm 'in the zone' I don't even hear it, no matter what it is. Generally, music with lyrics interrupts the movie playing in my head when I'm writing. *g*

I think "edit" may be the word we're looking for, yes. *smooths crinoline*

My little study is only 10' x 12' but it's all mine and I love it. I think Ginny was on to something. :D

I just can't turn off the soundtrack in my head, MG says I something sing or hum in my sleep. The soundtrack just changes with whatever I'm writing and sometimes gets pulled in to the story or at least ends up in its title.

Let's not call it revision, though, okay? I hate doing revisions. *g*

I totally believe most people need a place to call their own - where they can go inside and close the world out.

*g* That's hilarious that you sing in your sleep. Songs are a great source for story titles.

I hate to admit this but I hear music all night along. Certain songs play in my head while I'm asleep. Sometimes they have film with them; sometimes not. I've got vidding ideas and story ideas from my dreams. :)
