How do anons prefer writing out their idea? Do you use a computer? More old fashioned paper and pen? Do you keep it all in your head then just pound it out?
i haven't posted in like 2 years, mostly because i wasn't in fandom but also because i feel like everything could be so much better and i keep trying to improve it until i get lazy and forget about it haha
Same same. All my recent fics have been for things like olymfics and the qmi challenge, so nothing i've written of my own volition rly, i have so many fics waiting in the wings if I could get off my ass and edit and fix them but yeah, reading through them now would be torture
agh i'm trying to edit and add to my old wips but loooooool i kind of get embarrassed by reading my own writing so just kind of let them rot away :( at least you've been writing though! \o/
lately i've been taking notes on my ipod when i think of them and then try to expand on them later. i end up with a million little dead ends unfortunately but i prefer that to trying to hold onto an idea in my head because i inevitably forget it. i use paper and pen when i'm really stuck and/or need to take away the power to fidget with my sentences.
anything! usually in .txt's but i keep a notepad by my bed for this very purpose. otherwise i get so anxious trying to remember it i can't fall asleep and end up forgetting it anyway lol
if an idea strikes me, i use whichever way is most convenient to me to get it out. paper and pen, pencil and back of a receipt, cellphone text message, anything. for the full fic, i like typing it out on the computer but for the first idea, i will take anything i can get my hands on
i actually love the feeling of writing things out by hand and it makes me more aware of what i'm writing (plus i like my handwriting keke). but word docs make it easier to write random parts of a fic first and then insert whatever goes in the middle later, if i'm stuck.
