What are y'all working on right now? Be it fic (more than one on your plate?), art, or anything else... TELL ME. Give me snippets if you must :)
I'm in dire need of motivation for my
spn_cinema fic! Not inspiration, since I have that in spades, but the will to write a heck of a lot faster than I have been. Any tips for speed!writing to get the plot out?
Comments
The only tip I have for speed!writing is if I have the general plot in mind I write it down on like a notepad or anything and stick it near my computer so every time I go on I'm reminded I have to write this out.
I have lots of little post-its and notebooks filled with ideas I can't forget to incorporate. Writing things down when you think of them is always a great idea.
speed writing is my jam. i just let it flow, brain dump and worry about cleaning it up later.
I envy you for speed!writing. I get so focused on individual sentences that it takes me a while to finish a scene. I'm utterly grateful when things just flow.
i bet you have to do a lot less editing at the end though. when i just brain dump, there are so many typos and plot holes and whatnot to wrap up later.
For writing... um... I throw on some music that inspires me to write (and study. I Pavloved myself with some music to keep me alert :P). Also, word wars help sometimes when I can actually find someone up to write with me, which isn't often. Just find someone who will sit with you and see how many words you can write in 15 minutes... and see how far you get by the time you're done :P And in general... the deadline always gets to me. I'm a last minute writer so I need the pressure of a deadline to get me going.
Eeek, deadlines. I'm the opposite way...the longer I wait, the more my inspiration fails me. Deadlines are a little crippling!
And thankfully the remakes of other movies are pretty different too. (Sky High = Sam/Dean where both boys are subjected to demon blood and Dean is the bad boy of the class, with Sam the newbie/goodie twoshoes of the group. Priest I can't decide to go J2 or Sam/Dean, but I'm leaning towards JDM or John as the bad guy :P and Inkheart is Jared as a Dad with a beautiful baby girl with green eyes and freckles and Jensen as a character from another time and place that Jared can't remember but trusts anyway).
See... all so different I can't confuse them :P though I do tend to work on one at a time. I just look at the list for the next deadline (which is currently my western store owners :P) and I work on it until it's done.
When I speed!write, I just open an empty document and start writing until my head's empty, more or less. I have a knack for shutting everything going on around me off, which kind of helps. But mainly I just start writing, and then I don't stop for however long it takes.
Good luck with your fic <3
Well, no. For now I have a vid to make before the 11th, and the SPN CINEMAAAAA \o/ And then big bang...
Ok, here's the tip. The sooner you write the fic the sooner I can start working, like, really working on the art! ISN'T IT MOTIVATING ENOUGH?! :DDD
Now THAT'S some motivation! Now that I'm writing more of the Jared/Jensen scenes, it's so much easier. I think you'll like it! ♥
