Day 3

In your own space, talk about your creative process - from what inspires you to what motivates you to how you manage to break through blocks. Does your process change depending on the type of creating you're doing?


This is always such a hard thing for me to answer because I'm not really one to examine my 'process'. I do try to come at this professionally for the most part (as now I do more original fiction than fan fic). I do find music very helpful. Whether it's original fiction or fanfiction,I try to find music that fits my view of the universe or the pairing etc. Having that on in the background is very helpful.

Deadlines help. I work better when I have one or I might never get it finished. I also like to find challenge communities and exchanges within the fandom. I enjoy those.

I usually do a lot of research if I'm writing something longer, especially if I'm new to the fandom. If I'm just drabbling I would put in less work.

I am a pantser. The fastest way to kill a story for me is to outline it. The closest I come is writing out notes of things I might like to do. I'm not the most efficient sometimes as I have to go back, reread, fill in holes etc but this is the way I prefer to work.

Mom has enough ornaments and decorations for three households. That took most of the morning just todo the living room. She's still pretty sick and probably ought to be hospitalized but she's refusing (and the hospitals are booked solid with this flu).

I headed back to the mall to get cheap holiday cards and a battery for my tablet. Neither worked very well. I waited too long on the cards but I did get some cuties for next year. On the battery front, they can't even find my model or the battery the internet says I need. It's like the Android Dragon touch doesn't exist. Whee. So I went to Petsmart while Buffalo Wild Wings made our dinner. The humane society had a long haired dilute torti there who was as soft as a cloud. I loved her BUT she can't be with other cats. Sigh.

I managed to get some work done for school finally. I've been putting it off but I better get it done now before I get this flu.

I had the wildest dream this morning. I woke up angry and embarrassed because I had leaked on the bedding (damn you diabetic bladder) which is a real world issue for me but in the dream, I was really wet but then there was something in the bed with me. It was a bunch of art from [livejournal.com profile] seta_suzume and somehow it wasn't in the mess. I wasn't at all sure why it was in the bed though with me while I was sleeping.

I try to get up and that's when I notice that on the chest on chest and on the dresser things were moving back and forth on the top and I knew there was a spiritual entity in the room with me doing that. I try to get mom to come back but she wouldn't. I go back to the room and strip the bed but it was like a dozen people had peed the bed, more like a pool of urine and there were tons of things in the bed and under the mattress pad like I had been using it to store mementos. I was so upset.

That's when I noticed that the entity was still at it and one of my brass Jesuses was on the floor and the brass crucifix was upside down on the dresser (note I don't actually own a brass Jesus or a crucifix). I went back out to get Mom but she had no interest. Then I was down a the general store that closed 25 years ago or so. It was open but I didn't go inside.

Then I was back home with Mom and Dad and the back wall of the hall collasped in on itside revealing a demonic realm. I was so mad that they were bothering me I marched right into hell (Dad followed) and I let them have it. The demons were afraid of me and four of them offered to help me (Dad left me there) I got into a car with the demons. One was a female with icy white skin with a web of blue veins, to one side of me in the back seat and on the other was cute Asian-like demon who seemed embarrassed that I was paying attention to him. He did tell me his life story but I don't remember the details. In the front was the driver, a guy with long blond hair and horns and next to him was one that I could only see a tuft of dark hair under his hood, he was wearing a parka like jacket.

We drove into a tunnel and someone said 'knock' and we were knocked around into another part of the realm and were lost. I woke up then. Weird brain. weird.

And Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] dlgood! Hope you had a great day.

I talked about my writing process for the snowflake challenge here

And [livejournal.com profile] kiramaru7 was sweet enough to make me a few No.6 & Vinland Sagaicons. Check them out. She did a great job. Thank! See them here
