Writing Process Tag Game

theliteraryarchitect:

Tag game! Answer 9 questions about your writing process, then tag 9 writers whose process you want to know more about. The point of the game is to have fun and get to know other writers. So no pressure! If you get tagged and don’t want to play, don’t worry about it. :)

1. How do you get your story ideas? How do you know when something is worth writing about and when it’s just a fleeting thought or fantasy? Tell us the origin story of one of your past or current WIPs.

2. What are your writing tools of choice? Are you picky? Do you have specific brands you like? If you have neuroses in this department, we want to hear about them.

3. Where and when do you write? Morning? Dead of night? Your bedroom? The park? Paint us a picture of your usual surroundings when you sit down to write.

3. Do you ever encounter writer’s block? If so, how do you overcome it? Any tips to pass on to other writers reading this?

4. Do you outline? If no, why not? If yes, what kind of outlines do you make, and at what point in your writing process do you make them?

5. Is there anything about your writing process that other people might consider to be unique or weird?

6. When and how do you edit? After the first draft? During? Do you have a method, or is it kind of a free-for-all?

7. Do you ever take breaks from writing? For how long? Do these breaks feel rejuvenating, or do they stress you out? Give us a sense of what life is like when you’re not writing.

8. When did you first start writing? Why? What’s changed since then, if anything?

9. Anything else you want to tell us about your writing process?
