Day Thirty

Day thirty: Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about his/her characters!

 

Well, I really don’t have anyone to tag with this one … so instead what I am going to do with my time now that these daily entries have been rounded up. I have a few projects planned that I want to share before I start them.

 

First of I want to start getting some world building nailed down pat. So for a little while I was looking at different writing websites out there for something similar to this 30 days project. Didn’t really find anything specifically for that but I ran across some world building questions on a blog for Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. It was an entry from 2009 with a bunch of different questions to consider when world building. Around 350 or so questions that are divided into different categories (climate, geography, magic, people, etc.). So, I want to use those questions and start some kind of daily/weekly/whatever-ly set up where I go through those. There are quite a few of them, so I know if I do daily they will get done faster, but weekly will keep me busy as well. I think it’s all going to depend on whether I want to do one of the questions at a time or more. I haven’t decided but that’s my next big blogging project.

 

Second, I have been reading a significant amount of books. I want to do some basic reviewing of those books just for my benefit. Might change up the format of how I’ve been doing it but I want to get them done.

 

Third … well I have a few other things planned, but most of those are more a long the lines of single entries on topics that got sparked while answering these daily ones here.

 

I don’t know how many of you out there are reading this. Mostly I think I am talking to myself, but if I’m not, is there anything that you would like to see from me? Any questions for me? I’m now an open book and want to answer what you ask!

Day Twenty-Nine

Day twenty-nine: How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL (in real life) that reminds you of your characters or your story?

I think my writing is something that is always on my mind, whether consciously or subconsciously. It really doesn’t take much for me to get into the mindset of writing because it is something that is constantly right there on my mind and is easy to pull forward. Most of the time at least. I have mix feelings about that fact though, I mean its nice being able to pull all of it forward when I need it and to start writing, but it is slightly inconvenient if I get a sudden urge and need to write and I am no where that I can do that. That’s why I always have a pad of paper with me whenever I go anywhere; there is also one beside my bed and at work. No cute, small purses for me because I always shop with the fact that I’ll have a standard, letter-sized notepad that I have to fit into the bag in mind. I’m just crazy that way.

As for when it comes to different things in life reminding me of my writing and the characters and stories they belong in yeah some things do remind me of it all. One day that pops in to my head is when I went to the zoo with my step-daughters and we saw the big cats, tigers to be specific, and I got to watch how they lived in the “wild” (granted not really the wild, but my characters in tiger form aren’t wild either), I got to see them interact. Some of the best unintentional research ever!

Other then that, little things will show up but a lot of my characters and my story are in my head. The world is unlike ours in many ways and it’s a lot more difficult to see the world as they see it – at least in relation to viewing our own.
