Good for you, Tracy!  I wish I was doing more writing than chatting on here LOL.  I actually made myself a cup of coffee, which I never drink in the evening, in hopes it would help me get into a groove.  I've been in that weird "I want to write, but the words won't flow" phase all week.

Good for you writing, Tracy! That's awesome! And woah, Julie, and evening coffee? Hope your sleep schedule still goes okay! But also, shhh... You know you love being a supreme time waster.

Update day usually keeps me busy for a smidge, but I did get 141 words of snail on paper. So, I'm doing some writing?

What are your paint by numbers masterpieces? Let me know how crocheting goes! I've always heard good things, but am abysmal at any fabric related craft or hobby.

I made an owl, a tree and I am working a lot of 4 different moon type scenes. I’d post but have no idea how lol

Wow, good for you!  Those are all great hobbies.  My mom crochets and tried to teach me when I was a kid; I had no patience for it LOL.  I hope it goes better for you!

It should be interesting because I have never crocheted in my life. I’ll keep you all posted lol

I like imgbb. It's like what photobucket used to be.

Can't wait to hear about your crafting progress! :)

Let's talk about settings!


How do you decide on the setting of your story?

Do you set your stories in real places or create your own settings?

Do you tend to set your stories in places you've been (or base fictional settings on real places you're familiar with)?  If not, do you do any research to help yourself write an unfamiliar setting more realistically?

Have you ever traveled to research for a story?

What has been your favorite setting to write about?

Where would you like to set a future story?

LOL My coffee kept me from taking a nap tonight, but I still only wrote a few sentences.  Ugh.  Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight.

On a more positive note, I have an idea for the climax of my story now.
