WIP Challenge check-in, day 19 -- Wednesday

[xmarksthespotwhereistand]

 Hello!
What kind of writing day did you have?
- words happened
- life happened
- did something related to writing
- took a break
Today's discussion question: we already talked about music and the AMVs that might run in our heads about our WIPs. Is there a specific ritual or tools for you to help get into the mood for different WIPs?

I had some trouble fleshing out one of my characters; I wound up tweaking their background so that they'd have the same obsessive drive as they do in canon. This led to some retconning that I'm still working on.

I used to create playlists for different pairings; nowadays I just listen to whatever I feel like in the moment, though some songs still remind me of certain pairings and/or fics when I hear them.

Life has been happening lately, so I haven't spent much time with my fic. Sad!

Aside from listening to music, I sometimes can get into the mood by looking at photos and pictures of scenery I have saved that remind me of my fic's settings. A ritual that is helpful is to reread the last few chapters that lead up to the one I am working on to get back into the story.
