Questions to ponder part 12
Carter:
oooo another question...is there anything that just keeps you so distracted you just can't seem to write? Today I am certainly having one of them days...I cant seem to focus even though I am feeling better =( and not to mention my cat seems to think its a good idea to steal my pen and run off with it lol.
RokofAges75:
Twitter. Facebook. This forum. YouTube. TV. You name it, I'm distracted by it LOL. I wish I enjoyed writing on paper like you do because I think I would be less distracted that way. When I really want to minimize distractions, I will either remove Chrome from my taskbar so I can't click on it easily or write on my netbook, which is so slow that surfing the internet on it is a pain in the ass. But usually I just let myself get distracted LOL.

Funny you should ask that because I said earlier on twitter, Howie & his bunny killing has caused a major distraction for me while trying to come up with my final scene for the last chapter I am working on. Not that I'm even sure how to write it without a computer or word but yeah...no matter what should happen, visions of a Howie grabbing a cute small bunny out of Nick's hands, hitting it with a hammer & yelling the word dinner keep showing up instead!
So, here's another question for you
Has finding out about something in the boys real lives, ever affected your writing? Like as you are writing you found out something was totally contradictory to what you were actually writing? Or the opposite? Did it make you change things at all?
RokofAges75:
What is this thing with Howie and the bunny?! Is this a movie spoiler? I saw part of that conversation on Twitter earlier and was like, "O-kay then..." LOL
As far as the question goes, I remember it was hard writing Broken in 2003/2004 when Nick was in his ghetto fab phase and then dating Paris Hilton because I didn't want to write Nick as a douchebag. I didn't write for like a week after that Punk'd episode because it was just so NOT how I was picturing Nick. But after awhile I just stopped worrying about it and went on writing my sweet, self-conscious, emo, one-legged little Broken Nick because I liked him better LOL.
That said, I do think finding out more about that time in Nick's life through his interviews and his book has changed the way I write him, and if I wrote something that took place in his past now, my portrayal would be a lot different.

Sadly, yes! There was a story about Howie, a rock and dinner :( #slightlyhomicidalHowie
