By the end of my writing process, I should have created at least six drafts. Each is equally important: 1 - Dumping. Disgusting, writhing words that are clumsy and awful. They're brilliant. Get them down first—quantity over quality here.  2 - Grammar/spelling. I'm quite petty about such things for my age anyway, s...Wed, 29 Jan 2025 11:24:39 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=238557https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=238557i usually get bombarded with inspiration a few times a year and thats when  i write my stuff in batches. if i am trying to work on my skills i will makesure my space is clean. i also need a drink to stay hydrated and backgrounded music. no distractions.Mon, 11 Apr 2022 07:17:34 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=141995https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=141995I usually write when im in the middle of breakdowns or when im very stressed. so i cry like a bitch and write poetry about whatever is bothering meTue, 14 Dec 2021 17:08:03 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=84574https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=84574 I usually start up at night or later in the day. I get a drink- hot cocoa or a soda- and I turn on my grow light that I also use as a desk light then I open Youtube on one half of my screen and my writing stuff on the other. I usually watch a 'let's play' (videogame playthrough) or something really chatty that I can kinda tune out.   Then I just start writing on google docs.   Sometimes I listen ...Sun, 14 Nov 2021 03:58:58 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=11889https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=11889I have to write with film scores (pretty much anything by Thomas Newman, with occasional appearances by Alexandre Desplat)/instrumental music (i.e., various entries in the Final Fantasy video game series, or any of those 8-hour-long, coffeehouse-type-ambiance compilations you see on YouTube, etc.) in the background—it helps get me into the zone, so to speak, increases my focus.

What is on your playlist?Sat, 13 Feb 2021 00:58:35 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=9667https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=9667@Wayne What is the typewriter app called?  Pen and paper are my jam, too. I write more if I do not have social media distracting me. Unfortunately, I'm the kind of writer who sits down to write but then immediately hops on to Facebook and Twitter. To prevent this, I get everything down on paper first and then type it up while editing.Sat, 13 Feb 2021 00:56:51 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=9467https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=9467I've never thought about this much before but I guess a quiet place to think. I also prefer more to write with a pen than type it down. However, recently I've been using my laptop more. I installed a typewriter app and that has been a nice experience for free writing. I like the sound of the keys and it does the whole no erasures shenanigans.  What about you?Fri, 12 Feb 2021 05:05:38 +0000
