Sir David Suchet shares an amusing fan encounter story from the set of Agatha Christie’s Poirot in Hastings, East Sussex - BFI Q&A, November 12 2013
“‘Oh!’ she said, apparently satisfied, and set off on her away again, only to stop once again moments later. ‘Thank you for choosing Hastings,’ she said, with a gentle wave, and she set off up the street away from me. Even as I remember that day now, it brings a tear to my eye. It was so touching, and seemed to reflect exactly how much ordinary people really seemed to care about the little Belgian, even if he was entirely the product of Dame Agatha’s imagination.” - David Suchet, Poirot and Me
honestly there’s nothing that can compare to creating OCs and imagining scenarios with them with a person you trust. i don’t even mean in an shipping sense, either – just you and your friends making up people that also friends and imagining them in ridiculous, hilarious, adorable, angsty situations. like holy shit the knowledge that they are enjoying themselves with what you create and you’re enjoying yourself with what they create and you’re both just having the time of your fucking lives playing barbie with your own creations, safe in the knowledge that they aren’t fucking judging you or thinking ill of you for the silly little scenarios you’re imagining, no matter how cringe they might be. no cringe zone. just friendship.
it’s pure, simple bliss y’all
I hope you guys like…eventually live the life you want to live and I hope nothing haunts you for too long and I hope you’re all kind to yourselves
“Don’t research Researching isn’t writing and vice-versa. When you come to a factual matter that you could google in a matter of seconds, don’t. Don’t give in and look up the length of the Brooklyn Bridge, the population of Rhode Island, or the distance to the Sun. That way lies distraction-an endless click-trance that will turn your 20 minutes of composing into a half-day’s idyll through the web. Instead, do what journalists do: type “TK” where the fact should go, as in “The Brooklyn Bridge all TK feet of it, sailed into the air like a kite.” “TK” appears in very few English words (The one I get tripped up on is “Atkins”) so a quick search through your document for “TK” will tell you whether you have any fact-checking to do afterwards. And your editor and copyeditor will recognize it if you miss it and bring it to your attention.”

I didn’t realize I was doing this until I read about Avoidance in The War of Art. Good advice, Cory!

I use “xyz,” because I pretty much never type that otherwise. Distraction is one of the writer’s worst enemies, especially if you suffer from attention challenges.

What made you interesting in writing, i love writing, but sometimes i don't feel motivated, how do you get motivated?
To sometimes lack motivation is 100% normal. Not just for beginners and hobbyists, but for your favorite published authors too.
I became interested in writing as soon as I learnt to write. I didn’t become obsessed with it until I found other writers online and saw what they were up to. I literally didn’t know fanfiction was a thing and that I’d been writing it for years. That alone motivated me to write more.
When you’re not motivated to work on your story or come up with new ideas, there are many easy things you can try, like:
keep a journal/diary
practice describing people, places, and things you see during your day
collect images that inspire you to write; face claims, fantasy settings, etc.
create playlists of songs that motivate you to write or remind you of your characters
record dialogue and gestures of people you see/hear and interact with
find prompts or interesting images and write quick stories based on them
look at art
travel
READ some books, especially ones outside your preferred genre
watch TV and movies
exercise, sleep well, eat well, and your brain will work better
take an idea you hate or a story that bugs you and rewrite/fix it
write a letter to someone you see as a role model, but don’t name them
describe life on earth to an alien, starting with something simple like a toothbrush
study a different era in history, maybe an era in another country’s history
describe life in your country/era to a foreigner/time traveler
…and dozens of other options. Hope some of these tips work for you!

Staying Motivated on Your Projects
Anonymous said:
Hey! I’m writing something that, while it isn’t my first book, is the first thing I’ve wanted to finish in quite some time. I’m having a lot of trouble staying motivated and on schedule, do you have any tips?
Hi there, Nony! Thanks so much for your ask! I’m actually really glad you sent this one; motivation used to be one of my biggest issues when I first started out writing, so I’m glad to help anyone who might have the same issue. Let’s get right into it!
Why are you doing this?
One of the most common reasons we lose motivation is because we forget why we started. When you can keep this spark in mind, it makes it much easier to pull it to the front of your mind again and keep going.
So, the very first thing I did when I decided I wanted to take my writing seriously was write down why. I would try to keep this reason away from what it could be in the future; write what you’re feeling about your project in this moment. Write about your passion and how much it means to you. It could be a single word, or a sentence, or a paragraph. What matters is that you know why you’re doing this.
What’s even better is if you get the chance to add onto it. Whenever you’re really feeling motivated about your project or your writing, return to this motive and add on to it. Personally, one of the best things for me to to when I’m not feeling motivated to work on my project is to look at all these again. If past me saw the spark, then I just have to believe I can find it again.
