I love that the top comment is "who's here writing fanfiction" because I can't really think of a reason to listen to a looped heart monitor/ventilator for an hour unless it was for setting a mood while writing, some sort of art project, or other creative outlet that needed that immersion inspiration. I thought of a couple half way through writing this, but I still feel like creative pursuits would be the primary reason.

Yeah, it would be good background noise for a hospital scene in a movie or something, but otherwise, I'm not sure what else you would use it for. It's not the kind of white noise that would be good to fall asleep to LOL.

LOL! You were like Snooki! How very 2007 indeed.

I was hoping to finish Chapter 6 this weekend and did not, but now I'm thinking that may actually be better because it means I'm more likely to write during the week. I went to bed last night wishing I could stay up longer and finish my scene. I woke up this morning still feeling inspired, so I pecked out about 200 more words while I was drying my hair. I left off in mid-sentence, but I think leaving myself hanging like that actually helps me pick back up on it later... whereas if I was actually at a good stopping place, like the end of a scene or chapter, I would have a much harder time getting started next time I sat down to write. It's nice to know what comes next.
I feel like I always start out the work week really inspired and motivated from writing over the weekend, and then as the days ago on, that feeling wanes until Saturday morning, when I can sit down with a cup of coffee and build it back up again. That has been my routine lately.

Another writing while hair drying day! I also find that I have a harder time getting back into the groove if I've reached an abrupt end to whatever I was writing. Scenes, less so, but definitely with chapters. I don't know what it is about starting a new chapter! They definitely go easier if I have a pre-written snippet to plop in, but I always hem and haw for a little bit before committing anything solid to paper.
I found an article today that rings true to me in those moments; I usually pick "write out of order" these days. It's here if anyone wants to read it: 7 Ways to Rescue a Writing Day That's Not Happening
Writing yesterday was weird because I started out totally motivated to start the next chapter from the beginning, then I really wanted to write the end of that scene instead, and then I thought "Oh, this leads perfectly into an interesting bit for later that I'd already started and now I have the way to start it." So then I wrote that and writing that once again reminded me that I really thought the beginning of PBox was missing a chapter it should have had, so now I'm writing that, but also figuring out how to put the focus on Nick for another early chapter to deal with his "mood whiplash." And this morning, I was pondering the start of the next book! I'm literally all over the place with this story, haha. But it all feels fine because it's all the same big story technically? I don't know, it's weird... I'm usually not as all over the place while writing.

Nick loves Brian, Brian loves Nick but is in denial and loves Leighanne. Leighanne and Nick are friends but she secretly hates him, and Leighanne loves Brian. If that makes ANY sense at all. It's just very complicated lmao
I'm still in pain but I'm taking the injury day by day. It's definitely getting better but it's going to be a bit before I am back to normal again.

LMAO! No, definitely didn't think that! I was making fun of Twilight without outright saying so. That would be a weird love triangle if Nick and Brian were into each other and Leighanne while Leighanne was into Brian. If only Leighanne was into Nick too, then they could have been a power thruple.
Glad it's getting better and wishing you a quick recovery! :)
FrickingKaos:
Fun fact I've never read or watched Twilight lol

Just add a bass drop and put it on in da club!
Yes! And it was... very dated looking. Put me on an episode of "I Hate Watching Myself"! Though I will sometimes rock a tiny bang pouf for a fancy outfit kind of day.
