Writing Passionates discussion

Where do you go to write your books, short stories, poems, etc.? I was hoping to get some good ideas about other places to write. I love writing at like 1am-4am. The world is so quiet and for some reason my subconscious opens up a little more helping me to be more creative. lol.

I write at school. Eventually the teacher has droned on so long I get numb, so I write. I can only write at home if I am angry, and then I write peotry.I used to write on my porch, but not so much. Well wishes for your writing. PEACE!

I write at home, whenever I can find some quiet. Sometimes I'll put on some music, but I generally find it distracting. Most of the time I'll end up writing when it's dark out, just because my bro's are usually in bed by then, and the house is finally silent enough to get something done.

Usually if I watch a really good movie, I get like really good ideas, so then I usually write in my room, or wherever I can get a piece of paper basically.

I write wherever. I like being outside, but sometimes there's too much of a glare on the screen, and a breeze usually blows notebook pages aroud. As well as my hair, If I haven't tied it up. Writing in school works pretty well for me though... that's when I write in my notebook. If I'm in the zone, i can write at home (but only when I'm alone, because my room is way too messy so I have to be in the living room) on my laptop.

The time of day doesn't really matter to me, but usually I either write early in the morning or late at night – the quietest times of the day, especially in my crowded household. Haha. ^_^

I prefer typing on my laptop to writing by hand, so I almost always do my writing on my laptop.

As for the location, it depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I feel too lonely in my room, so I'll write on the couch in the living room, or at the kitchen table. Usually, though, I'll write in my room, on my bed. Whether I listen to music or not also depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm having an easy time writing, I'll listen to music. But if I'm having major writer's block, or I'm writing something really intense, it has to be absolutely silent or I'll freak out. ><

I can't really write when I'm not at home ... It feels weird. Haha. Although one time, I brought my laptop to a library and wrote for a while. That was nice. :)

I usually write in my bed when I should be sleeping :D LOL.

But I wrote a majority of Nano in a car on my way to my great aunt linda's house. so yeah.

I write everywhere, really. Lol. Well, the places I write most are on my laptop on my desk. A lot of times, I take my laptop to my bed and write there lying down. XD As for when- I usually can't write really late, because my parents catch me and get furious. >.< But that's the time I like writing best- my creative juices really seem to flow at 2 AM. lol...Lately, though, I've been getting up an hour earlier in the morning and writing before I go to school. It makes me way more tired and its hard to wake up, but its easier to write in the morning, for some reason...

I got my flash drive back!
So like now I can write . . .and I really want to, but I can't find anything to write!!

Wait until tomorrow and do script frenzy! You can just start with the prompt on the site. Earlier today, I think I saw one that says "an angry squirrel is trapped in an elevator with Dr. Phil"

C'mon, wouldn't that be a GREAT opening scene?

squirrel would win

lol, I love that idea. Only if the squirell got in by acting as a topee (sp?)

hahahaha rofl

I think that it's toupee. :D That WOULD be funny. You should write it! If not in script form, then in the POV of the squirrel!

loollll!!!

I write when I'm alone, or at least in a big room where there's no one too close to me. It's weird, because then people are always wondering what I'm doing and peering over me. Ack, I can't stand that. I have a notebook I carry around, and today I was writing a name down on a page with a whole bunch of girl names (I also have one for guy names), and my friend who sits next to me was like, "uh... what are you doing???..." XD Me: "Nothing." -slams notebook shut- lol

But mostly I write in the computer room, because I suck at writing by hand. And I write REALLY LATE. I always get the best ideas then for some reason.

Oh yeah, I don't like when I'm writing and people look over my shoulder. I get all embarrassed, haha.

lol I know!

I hate that! It drives me crazy!! I'm SO self-conscious about my writing, so when someone reads it over my shoulder it freaks me out.

same!! i'll like, HIT them and scream "AAHHH!! DON'T LOOK! GO AWAAAAY!!" and they're like O.o "sheeeshhh ..."

lol whenever my parents come into the room, I click another window... XD I don't know why I don't like people reading my stuff... I think it's easier online. haha

yeah definitely ...

:)

Oh, I hate it when people want to read my stuff. My sister got into my files once, and I caught her reading them. I went completely aggro. Then she was like, 'It's good' and I calmed down straight away.

...hey, wait a second, that's so sneaky of her!

And I hate people looking over my shoulder, too. Everytime I minimise a window, my parents are like, 'what are you hiding from us? are you doing something you shouldn't be doing?'

it sucks. I think I might tell them that they may just have to deal.

I know I really Hate it when one of my friends read over my shoulder. I will like scream in their faces and go all crazy. They will all look at me and say "What the Hell is your problem?"
"Stop reading my FREAKING STORY!"

*sighs* We are just so misunderstood...

Oh I know

lol it gets even worse when I beta. Some of the stories end up being so full of romance that I wonder what the heck I've gotten myself into, and then all of a sudden, I'm trying to fix the mush when someone comes into the room. What the HELL do you do then, I'd like to know?

Sorry, unrelated post.

LoL I don't write romances, because they would be cheesy. And also, really embarassing to share...

Oh, and whenever my teacher is walking around the room when we are doing journals or whatever and she passes by my seat, I cover up what I'm writing with my arm. But not the part that I'm actually writing, just the part that I've already written. I don't just stop in the middle of hwat I'm doing just because my teacher walks by, and I've to to be able to see what I'm writing at that moment in order to continue.

Oh, let me just clarify the term 'beta'. Beta = edit someone else's work. I personally don't write romance! Of course not... heh heh.

I write just about everywhere. I mostly write at school though when I'm bored.

Agh...whenever I write romance, it's cheesy and weird. A bunch of my friends are asking to read Hunted, and I'm like "eeh..." because I'm too embarrassed with all the weird Sylfaen stuff going on there...I think I'll change that when I edit it.

gaahhh i hate writing romantic scenes ... cuz i always think like "oh dear ... what if my grandparents want to read this or something??" O_O aaah!!!

like i mentioned that scene in Reverse to my mom ... and now whenever i'm like "la di daaa writing something awkward" she's like "HAHA brigid are your characters procreating again???"

*smacks self in forehead* >_<

lol that's the funniest thing!

Sorry. I feel your pain though

lol

haha. OMD that's hilarious! sorry, sorry. I feel your pain too.

He-he. That's great. I could totally see my mom doing something like that. *cracks up*

XD lol yeahhh ...
oh and whenever i'm like "i'm writing something corny" my mom's like "DID YOU SAY YOU WERE WRITING SOMETHING HORNY??" LOL ...

Wow. *cough*

... yeahhh ...

"OMD"? Huh? OMG! That doesn't possibly stand for "Oh My David," as Rachel, Brigid, and I sometimes say? lol I doubt it does XD

typo maybe ... ? lol

fine. burst my bubble, will you? lol jk :D

haha, no. :D I don't use OMG much anymore. OMD is a french thing... same as OMG, but in french oh my god is o mon dieu. (I think...)

lol

in spanish it's DIOS MIO!!! haha that's fun to say ...
except i watched this spanish soap opera once where they said "oh my god" in english. and they also said "supersexy" in english ... haha it was so weird. i died laughing. XD

lol. I think you mentioned the supersexy thing before.
