30DoW: Day 6
Aug. 6th, 2010 11:40 am6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?
Sitting down, actually.
Okay, okay, most comfortable place for me is usually on the couch, with my laptop on a lapdesk. Don't know why, but having it right there, instead of someplace more formal like an actual table or work desk just does it for me. And, as is said by many, working on the computer helps immensely with small errors and revision. Often after writing a scene, I'll stare at it and tweak it for almost as long as it took to write itself, changing small phrases or finding better words because it doesn't sound right to my ear. There's no usual time given when I'll work on something, though my better stuff happens later at night and I'll tweak during the day.
But that's for the actual process of writing, I usually go to pen and paper and a table or desk when I have an early idea that just pops up and needs some exploring. I like the whole concept of books, so I constantly have this great vision of having leather bound journals that hold sketchs and ideas for later use. Rarely do I actually achieve this grand dream mind you, but it's the thought that counts. I do, however, have (let me see) about ten regular notebooks with random thoughts and such written in them; and all of them are usually only used for about fifteen or so pages, and then the rest is blank, because I couldn't find that particular notebook and just grabbed another one.
I actually have about a half dozen blank books in a container in my room, I probably should condense all those books into one... ooh, I even have a leather journal that would be perfect for it...
