mare:
The only time I ever even consider writing during the school year is on the weekends which is why I only tend to do a new story in the summer now. lol

You guys were chatty today. I had three pages to catch up on LOL.

I will say that ive never read a Howie story either. Ive read all the others. I love Howie but not reading about him. Sorry Howie lol

Carter:
When the kids are in school i can put on my music and just write until my poor little hands get tired lol. During the summer i tend to write after 10pm cause thats when my mil goes to bed and i have free reign on the internet (long story lol). Sometimes i write during the day when they are home but its useless most of thr time lol. I keep a binder or paper near me most of the day so if i thinknof somethig i can write it down real quick so i dont forget it. I always have notes written down too. It helps me think lol.

I always listen to music while writing/ reading. My playlist has 2700 songs so it juat kind of plays. I am kind of a music freak ;)

FrickingKaos:
I typically write best late late at night when I am on my down time at work or when I am home and cannot sleep, which is usually the case. However I've had trouble getting myself motivated to write. I was hoping the reading challenge would help but it hasnt unfortunately.

Rose:
Holy convo LOL. I'm catching up on the main points.

Have you ever made a conscience effort to try to write in one boy's point of view that you usually do not and how hard was that for you?

Do you find of those novels depending on the boy you center it around, is one more popular than the other reader wise?

Group: 5
Nick: 8
Kevin: 0
Nick/Kevin: 1
Brian: 0
Brian/Nick: 2
AJ: 0
Howie: 0

For some reason I thought I had more but they were oneshots LOL. Geeze. This is bad.

My group story thing has definitely been a more recent love. Before they would have a Nick focus while playing with the relationships with the other Boys. Like RMTW. Walked Out of My Dreams was originally JUST Brian but for some reason that wasn't working so I swapped it to Nick/Brian which I felt became a lot better LOL. I'm trying a Nick/Kevin story (well focused on those two, it does feature the group) but it's a AU/Sci-Fi so yeah.

Here We Stand was the first "canon" story I wrote in the POV of all five Boys. With 00Carter, Undead, and Code Blue while the personalities stayed the same, it was still AU. I get this urge to challenge myself sometimes, so when I had this idea I ran with it. It ended up a great exercise cause it was neat trying to write their POVs while making sure their voices were as true as I could make them. Brian's was the hardest but I feel like "present day Brian" is just hard to write. Brian in the 90s is easier, in theory. I haven't tried it just yet LOL. Oddly enough Howie's was easier because as the "ignored" BSB it gives me a lot to play off of.

I don't think I could write "just" a Howie story. Or even just an AJ story because while he had similar issues AJ does best for me as a supporting character. I might try a canon Kevin/Nick story someday. Their relationship is something I love to play with because of their mirroring roles in family vs BSB. The other one I love is the Frick and Frack idea. Mainly because you have how tight those two were then compared to now and it's a neat bit of dysfunction lol.

As for what I've noticed popularity wise - Nick is the chosen one. Period LOL.

I'm done rambling now!
