Writing Habits
Best Music to Write to:
For Fantasy Novels: Soundtracks (such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean); Classical Music; Groups such as Bond and Celtic Woman
For Modern/Teenage Angst: Most punk music works, groups like Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Mest, etc.. seem to be more of an influence
Best Time to Write: Usually anytime between 1 and 4 in the morning. It seems to be the only time I’m really able to let my imagination to take a hold of me and be as creative as possible. It’s either that or I’m so tired at that point that my brain doesn’t worry how it sounds, it just want to get things down on the computer.
Best Place to Write: Most of my writing is down at my desk on the desktop. Most of my research, charts, story planning, is done on my laptop, but occasionally I’ll write something coherent on it.
