Happy FFWF! Tell us about your "behind-the-scenes" for writing. If we were watching you write, what kinds of things would we see?
okay, first thing, thanks for the ask! second, I'm going to try and keep this short, because if I don't, it might end up an ungodly length, and — yeah.
well, you'd see me on my phone, 98% of the time. on my bed, leaning into some pillows propped against the frame, and absolutely no one else in the room. I think I enjoy writing most when it's just me, because I have this weird habit of needing to try some of the things out, like, say one of them says something that doesn't sound very dialogue-y and I proceed to say it fourteen times trying to figure out why and how I can replace it, xD also when it's just me, I kinda read what I'm typing under my breath as I'm typing it, y'know? (does anyone else do this — cause I just realized I'm even doing it right now, ahahaha, and it might be one of those weird things I never notice cause uhhhhh, self awareness who?)
also, I usually write in a bright room (not exactly natural light though, I'm SORRY but the sun's way too hot around these parts, I hate doing stuff outside unless I absolutely have to, so I'll just have all the lights in my room turned on) with the ac on, no music (don't need any more distractions than what my brain already provides me with, trust me) and an annoying tendency to want to flee to tumblr every time I hit a hurdle.
sometimes I just give in though, and end up discussing my second sentence crisis at length with someone awesome on here — y'all know who you are, so like. shoutout moment for tolerating me? ✊🏼
last of all, and I hate this part, my thumbs often end up randomly sweaty (moist is a better word, but I'm not going to use it, sorry) in the middle of typing long, long stuffs on my phone, so you'd also see me taking mini breaks to wash my hands and/or aggressively wipe them?
and I think that's everything! have a wonderful day <3
this feels kinda different from the usual writer asks which circulate, so I hope it's okay to tag some writer frens ^v^ @studio-hatter @irrlicht-ghostfront @3dg310rdsupreme @chaoticdean @tally-my-words @quicksilver-ships & @piratepen!!
