Check-In: Day 17

[miscellaneous_section]

The day isn't over yet, and I thought since today is Monday why not post the daily check in posts between the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays.

Have you written anything today? If not, how about yesterday?

• Yes
• No
• I have thought about it.
• I'm taking a break for now.

Today's discussion: Do you have a go-to playlist when writing, or do you prefer to write your fic/meta in silence?

I have about writing, but it's for a different WIP in mind. That one would be simpler to write than the other bigger projects in my files (the hanahaki fic being multiple chapters long, while the other is only one chapter long).

As for writing with music? It's a mix-bag, but I lean on the side to writing in silence. Sometimes it helps to have a video game ost playing to set the mood for a scene (it's my go-to, actually); but over time I end up vibing with the music than writing the fic. (,,>~<,, )

I thought about writing today, but then I kept getting interrupted by this and that, so I have not gotten past the thinking yet.

I do have a play list of instrumental music that I sometimes use when writing (I can't have any music with words or I am too distracted), but I often forget to put it on, and I end up writing in silence! So both situations work!

We'll pretend it's still Monday when I reply here, yes?

I actually wrote today! After almost a solid month of not writing anything. It wasn't much (and it was written at about midnight Monday morning), but at least it was something!

It depends on a few things: what I'm writing, how stressed I am, how much I need to concentrate, how many other distractions are around, how much pain I'm in, etc. etc. I have a general "getting things done" playlist that I listen to most of the time when I need to do things, including writing. That said, I have made some ship-related playlists that I'll sometimes put on for ~vibes~ (and I have also made a fic specific playlist once).
