location, location and marathon for the ask game!
thank you for the ask, darling <3
location, location: what are your top three (or,) least three favourite places to write and why?
top three places to write:
my bed. i do have something of a love/hate relationship with working on my bed. on one hand, it's really comfortable and i work pretty fast. on the other, it makes me so sleepy.
coffee shops. i'm a cliche, but white noise is my favourite thing in the world and i absolutely adore the feeling of being alone in a crowd.
airports/bus stations/the metro. there's just something about the liminality, transience and urgency of these places that forces me to get the words out fast. i'm huge on editing, but it doesn't belong in the creation of first drafts.
marathon: three things you have to have during a writing session.
headphones. i can't listen to music when i'm actually writing, but i do need a barrier between myself and the outside world or else loud sounds/voices distract me too much.
internet access. if a question comes up while writing, i need it answered immediately or it'll bug me too much to concentrate.
some kind of timer. something needs to give me a deadline or i'll just daydream. i love sprinting channels on discord servers, alarms, the forest app, anything that reminds me to work instead of stare.
