(I thought today was Saturday so enjoy some random Sunday writing questions) Are you an overwriter or underwriter? Is there a drink/snack you always have while you write? Talk about a character you haven’t gotten to talk about as much as you would like to?
Are you an overwriter or underwriter?
i’d say i’m an underwriter. every once in a while i have a lot to say in one go and i’ll write a bunch, but that hardly ever happens. i’m also a really slow writer in general lol.
Is there a drink/snack you always have while you write?
it really just depends on what i’m craving at the time. a lot of times i’ll be drinking some kind of soda, or eating whatever snack i have on hand at the time.
Talk about a character you haven’t gotten to talk about as much as you would like to?
hmmmm. it’s either ray and/or scott. i’m still figuring stuff out, so these may or may not be spoiler-y:
- ray and scott met in elementary school when they were 8. this was a trying time for them bc ray was a child actor and scott had just lost most of his family +moved to the city. they were sort of like each other’s rock.
- they go camping, birdwatching, and other nerdy stuff together.
- at some point they’re roommates together and become fwb. they’re too dumb to realize they like each other. they have 2 understandings: they can’t fool around with each other while they’re dating other people, and they both like joe. this becomes a problem.
- they’re each other’s date for the ball in ph part one.
- one of the reasons carter doesn’t recognize scott as being his sibling is that scott’s grandparents forced him to go by his middle name bc it’s more “masculine” (his full name is madison scott tillman).
- ray likes art museums. and anne of green gables.
- originally in the early, early version of defect (back when i was in high school) ray’s parents were divorced? i’m not sure if they’re still divorced in this one, but most of the stuff i imagine later is ray interacting with his dad, so maybe...his mom was like a stage mom and his parents got divorced over it? not really sure. (now i’m picturing like a group for single parents at the rec center, and ray’s dad is friends with daniel’s mom, johnny’s mom, and isaac’s dad. they bond over their divorces and their children’s antics)
