Question of the Day - Part 4
Purpura Lipstick:
O.M.G.... that is CRAZY!! Hannah you poor girl!

As far as scenes being stuck in my head, as a reader, I tend to remember bits of imagery the best. Nick digging bot flies out of Jordan's brain - pretty sure that visual's never leading LOL. Mare's lobster-clawed priest - he stayed with me (haha). Nick walking around inside that dead woman's body in Hawk and Handsaw... Yeah, I tend to remember the gross stuff, apparently! LOL
When I'm writing, it's the really intense scenes that stay with me. The climactic scenes of both Broken and BMS... the first zombie chapter of Undead... the arrhythmia sequence in CC. If it my makes MY heart race while I'm writing it, it'll stick with me for awhile.

--- Quote from: Pengi on July 19, 2012, 10:38:35 AM ---When writing, do you ever exaggerate certain parts of the Boys? For example, I know we've all exaggerated Nick's blonde moments (so you can't use that as your answer), but like say Brian's accent or Howie's winking? What's your favorite thing to exaggerate of them?
--- End quote ---
We definitely exaggerate Howie's winking in 00Carter - Dr. Rough has an eye twitch that becomes more pronounced whenever he's stressed out or angry. He's definitely a caricature, so everything about him is exaggerated.
Other than that, I'm not sure... I certainly use their various traits and habits, but I can't think of any that I knowingly exaggerate.

I don't think this was already asked: (I could have just missed it)
What time of day do you find it easier to write?
A few months ago I might have said at night between 9-11pm but I have found that I am having difficulty writing at night. Now I write between the hours of 11am-3pm, at work. I know it is because my work is sporadic so to keep busy I focus on writing so that I'm looking at my computer. Then I go home and either don't want to be on the computer or I want to not think while on my computer, meaning I want to play games. HEH. I don't want to write something that I want to publish and possibly make money on while at work, it seems wrong to me so my OF isn't moving anywhere at the moment.
I would turn off the internet but I need it to talk to my "editor/friend" and to research. I've tried just not opening the game pages but ultimately I find that I do. I know the first thing I need to do is close those pages and focus on writing.
I want to do more sprints with Saka-Steph at night, it helps. I used to write while Erika was writing too and it helped. HEH.
Carter-Orange:
I find it easier to write in the evening as the kids are out of my way, but I usually get distracted by the TV. I like writing on the weekend too.
