Where do you get ideas/inspo for your writing? </strong>Generally I draw from my real world experiences and my own thoughts about/relationship to the world. Writing is intensely, deeply personal for me! I also like to look to nature, to my family and pets, and to other works of literature and art for inspiration.<br /><br /><strong>2. Do you have a favorite place to write? </strong>I love writing outside in my front yard, watching the squirrels run around and the cars pass by. It's really peaceful! It's a habit I only picked up recently and I'm so glad I did.<br /><strong><br />3. What are your tricks for getting through writers block? </strong>I really like doing the stream of consciousness exercise to get my creative juices flowing. You set a timer for, say, ten minutes and write without stopping for the entire ten minutes. Just anything at all that comes to mind. I usually get two results: it's either incoherent or pretty good. I've published a few of them <a href="https://graveyardescape.substack.com/?utm_source=byline&amp;utm_content=writes">here </a>and <a href="https://graveyardescape.substack.com/p/stream-of-consciousness-at-1am">here</a>.<br /><br /><strong>4. Favorite genre to write? Do you have a different favorite genre for reading?</strong> Science fiction and horror. And science fiction-horror. Pretty much that's it.<br /><strong><br />5. What is something you really want to write but haven't gotten around to yet? </strong>Uh, most things? I'm dreaming up a short story collection featuring sapphic sci-fi stories right now...<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=toothpastepancake&ditemid=4372" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2024-07-15:4191460:928 2024-10-18T17:54:59Z 2024-10-22T20:44:23Z public 0 Just found this comm <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://thefridayfive.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png' alt='[community profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://thefridayfive.dreamwidth.org/'><b>thefridayfive</b></a></span>&nbsp;and decided it might be fun to do every friday!<br /><br /><strong>1. What's a song you'd enjoy screaming along to as you drove down the highway?</strong> I have a whole playlist for this, but my personal favorite car screamers are Tainted Love and Thong Song lol. I don't drive for disability reasons, but have spent many evening drives singing these with my mom.<br /><strong><br />2. What is your favorite place/type of environment to relax? </strong>I really love going to the library, either to read or write. I find that I'm really only able to get writing done when I leave the house, for some unknown reason. And I live very close to my city's library, so I like going down there with my laptop and chilling. It's really calming and everyone is so nice there. And writing, of course, is my relaxation.<br /><br /><strong>3. What are the best kind of dreams? </strong>I don't know! The good kind, I suppose? Lame answer I know... Maybe ones that connect you better to others, or give you realizations or something. I recently had a dream I was a mother, which I've always wanted to be but cannot be for various reasons, so that one was really nice but I ended up missing my daughter so much when I woke up, haha, so that's always a downside to good dreams---they're over when you wake up. <br /><strong><br />4. What do you look for in a mate?</strong> Empathy, kindness, humor, and understanding. And, since fiction is a huge part of my life, we should at least share some interests there too lol.<br /><strong><br />5. If you were a crayon color, what color would you be and why?</strong> I think I'd be a mint green! I love mint green :D I also recently chose mint as my color for the Neocities club &quot;pantson colors&quot;.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=toothpastepancake&ditemid=928" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
