TIPS

  • "I've starting making separate playlists for different stories. I have a lot of trouble getting into "story mode" after being in "normal life mode", and having set songs I associate with the story gets my brain into it MUCH faster than it would go normally. Plus it help me stay there and cuts out distractions like sirens, ect. There's a looot of Tool and Rammstein."
  • "I like to roughly sketch out my characters as well, and sometimes gather pictures of places that resemble the scene I am currently writing in."
  • "PC? Laptop? Pencil and notebook? Pictographs? Smoke signals?"
  • "I don't have any superstitions, necessary magic rituals, or even really many tips n' tricks. I pretty much just sit down someplace halfway comfy with a cup of coffee and start writing."
  • "I keep a notebook and pen in my purse so I can write when I'm not at home and have a free moment."
  • "I'm most often listening to Live365 or my itunes when I'm writing. I listen to New Age and jazz (stuff like Enya), video game soundtracks, and instrumentals."
