Do you like to talk about your story ideas before or while you write them or does that interfere with actually writing them?

I do better if I have someone to talk to about what I'm writing. Some of that is that I do better if I can think that I'm writing a story for some specific other person who's looking forward to seeing it. Some of that is that talking helps me to clarify my thoughts and figure out what needs to happen in the story. I tend to write by the seat of my pants and to have little idea of where the story is going to end up, and talking helps me figure things out.

I spent most of the day today planning and researching for a number of prompts I recently signed up to write. I've got some good ideas floating around in my brain, hopefully they will translate to actual words at some point.

I often talk with my son about what I'm writing, especially if I'm not certain whether my idea will work. He will either confirm it for me or help me figure out what's wrong with it. We think a lot alike, so he's a very reliable source of input.

Gearing up for filling prompts; I'm behind on a few of them, unfortunately.

I rarely discuss my ideas with anyone due to the superstition that talking about them makes them much less likely to get done. ^_^;

Nope. Unless I'm struggling but generally talking it out just tricks my brain into thinking I've already written it.

Fiddling with a couple fics but no major word count progress. Maybe today.
