Question of the day part 7

--- Quote from: Carter-Orange on September 30, 2012, 02:27:55 PM ---AU peeves, hmm, I like the boys to still come across kind of true to who they are, although if the story is good, then I don't really mind.
To be able to write, I just need my brain to co-operate, lol. Oh, and I need it to be quiet or I'll get distracted if the TV/music is on :)

I need for it to be really quiet as well! I need that for reading too.

I try not to let what people say affect my writing or motivation to write. I won't say it hasn't happened before, but I can't remember the last time it did. For the most part, I write for my own enjoyment, and as long as I'm happy with my writing, I'm satisfied. I know the kind of stuff I write doesn't appeal to everyone, and that's okay. I also know there's an audience out there that does like what I write, and that's a nice perk.
Generally, the things that keep me from writing or wanting to write are the same things others have mentioned - lack of time, lack of energy, being hungry, not feeling well, stress or too much on my mind, etc. I write best when I am well-rested and have a whole day of no commitments or responsibiliti es ahead of me, and unfortunately, that hasn't happened even on weekends lately. Well, except for today, but because this is the first day all week I've had to just lounge around and not do anything, I want to do just that - nothing LOL. Not even writing. Sometimes writing just takes too much brain power LOL.
FrickingKaos:
If I am sick, tired or having a lot of things going on I lose my motivation to write. Reviews don't really affect anything, I don't let the readers influence how a story plays out but it is fun to see their guesses or reactions to things I've written.

AUs would bother me if the boys ages were really off or if one of them was the child of another one of them. *shakes head* I know in CP Nick is older than the typical distance in age between Nick and Kevin IRL but that's because of the whole time travel thing, otherwise I try to keep them relatively the same age difference as they are IRL. I attempt to stick as close as I can to their personalities though I know I've made some boo boos.
I've pointed out minor flaws in stories in a review but if I found something glaring I'd probably private message, e-mail or DM them on twitter to let them know what I saw. BUT I'm oblivious, Tracy pointed out a flaw in hers that others notied and I didn't notice so sometimes you just get wrapped up and the details kind of slip by. :)
When I get a lot of reviews or if I'm chatty with people I tend to write faster. Right now I have no idea why I'm not writing. I've been more in a reading mood so that could be part of it.

I got this from a twitter convo I saw from yesterday lol
Do you tend to post a new story right away or do you wait until you have a few chapters to post? What makes you decide to write a new story? Do you base it on what people like to read or what you feel like writing and then does it bother you if you don't get the feedback or attention after you post it?
As a reader, do you tend to get excited if one of your favorite authors says they are going to post a new story despite the fact that you don't know what it's going to be about? If after they post it, you see it's not something you'd like to read, do you find yourself still clicking and reading just because they are one of your favorite authors and you added to the "yes can't wait to read so please post it soon!!" bugging lol
I know that's a lot of questions but I have learned to post while they are in my head!
