Questions to ponder part 11

--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 18, 2014, 08:19:52 AM ---Thank you! :) I remember feeling the same way when I read Mare's story "The Importance of Fly Fishing," which is also Nick/Kevin. That's one of the first Kevin stories I remember reading. That and Louise's "Garden," which is also Kevin/Nick centered. I guess as long as The Chosen One is in there, that makes it worth reading LOL. I didn't used to read many Nick stories either, though! Back in the beginning, I was all about Brian. Nick grew on me. Plus, there are a lot more Nick stories to choose from, especially nowadays.
That leads me to a couple of other questions.
How have your reading habits changed over the years, as far as which boys and what types of stories you like to read?
What would it take to make you read outside your comfort zone, as in a different boy/pairing or genre than you typically read?

Um as far as reading habits although I'm pickier in terms of quality, I'd say I've gotten more open minded about the types of stories and genres. I never would've touched SAMS for example back in the heyday. Now it depends on the idea and/or the author.
Sometimes like I said, if it's an author I know writes great stories I might click just because. Other times it takes a really good idea.

I will sit down and start writing if I'm really inspired, usually if I've been on a roll and am already in the middle of a chapter, but usually I do a bunch of things that are meant to inspire me and really just waste time, like re-reading, "researching," and listening to music. Sometimes it does help, especially when it's been awhile and I need to refresh my memory, but there is a reason it takes me so long to finish stories LOL.

I have this same problem of "inspiration" leading to distraction.
Case in point - For "Show Me A Reason" I've been watching old videos to either use old bits or get a certain vibe on things. Or ya know, inspiration. What usually ends up happening is that I watch videos half the night and take forever to actually write something LOL.

Mine is late at night. I can't write crap in the morning. It's always stay up as late as I can writing. Afternoons are a crapshoot LOL. Evenings have a decent chance of working out for me. As long as it's dark outside basically.
