For Those Who Write

[Chud Monster]

Alright.

Recently, I just haven't really been in the mood to write.. at all.

When you write something, what kind of mood are you in? What is the atmosphere like? Are you by yourself or with a group of friends? Do you listen to music, or prefer the quiet? Is there one certain place you can always write at?

It's kind of odd.. I can always write when I'm in my Physical Science class or my Algebra class.. I don't understand why. A lot of times I like writing with others around me, because I don't get so indepth with thinking; to start thinking of other things.
When I am by myself I tend to not listen to my normal music as I write. Most of the time I end up listening to Evanescence. For some reason Amy Lee's voice gives me that little diddy to write. I can't write while listening to things like Glassjaw or 36 Crazyfists. I tend to lean to something soft. It's odd. I don't even like Evanescence!

Or if I'm walking around the mall or the store, I'll see something and automatically get all these weird ideas and different personalities to use. I dunno.


EDIT:
I don't know if I fit in this thread...but I write fanfictions.

You'd belong here. I tie into that. I used to try to write fanfictions, but I like originality a little better... I mean.. c'mon.. the way I see it.. Jaanus and Damien are HOTT HOTT HOTT together.

Yes... I am unable to write purely moving poems unless I have a certain feeling inside.... and I'm if I'm listening to sad music then it also improves the way I write. I'm not capable of writing happy poems so unless I'm in a sad mood, I can't write poems. I am only able to write a good story if I am super bored and a random thought comes into my mind.. and then I'm like :eek5: wouldn't this be a great story! haha

I don't know if I fit in this thread...but I write fanfictions. I have yet to get a spark to get me to write my own original but I'm working on it. When I am writing a fanfiction I have to be in the mood for whatever it is about. For instance I have a Lord of the Rings fanfiction going and I can't do it because I'm just not in a Lord of the Rings state. So I stopped writing for a long time. Now I am attempting to rewrite my Harry Potter fic...in hopes it will get me to be able to work on the other one again.

Sometimes it also helps if I listen to my soundtracks. Listening to instramentals doesn't distract me much because they have no words. And I have to be alone as well..I can't have my brothers running around the room watching TV. It just doesn't work. That's pretty much it.

Well, when i write poems, i usually have to be in this state of mind. it's kind of a mix of emotions though mostly negative. my enviroment can be anything but i prefer by myself because i'm a loner by heart. most of my poetry somehow ends up being dark even when i'm trying to write a poem that isn't depressing but upbeat. i also prefer to listen to music, i like the beat and rhythm, i just listen to the radio. poetry is something i'm semi-good at so i love to write since my short stories are very bad. most of the time, i just write to release my emotions since i bottle them up and poetry is the only way out so that's the origin of all of my poems.

Eh... well I've always got constant ideas for stories swimming through my head. I've tried writing during school but it's just not as good as if I'm at home sitting in front of my comp typing away. I usually listen to music while I'm writing. Usually rock music. I can write to that. I don't need to listen to "calm" music and what have you.

And I can't write with people around me. I just don't work like that *shakes head*

And I don't need to be in a specific mood to write. I either feel like it or I don't.

[KaitlinRainey]

When I write, I sit at the computer in my comfy clothes and bathrobe. I have my glasses on and play with a slinky when I have writer's block (Mort Rainey corrupted me...hee ^_^).

I just try to free my mind and sometimes bring a little snack, like a bag of chips and a Mountain Dew (Hehee) to eat and just sit there. Sometimes I'll have music or the TV on so there is noise in the house.

I just try to forget about the real world and enter the fantasy. I like it there much better. I'm planning on becoming a successful writer one day, so I'm hoping that I can stick with this. I love it so much. ^_~

[Juhi]

I only write when I have feeling in me..haha that makes me sound like a feeling-less rock or something, but I mean when I feel really emotional and I have to let something out (ya i know, so "cliche"..leave me alone!)..its more of a mechanism then hobby for me. atmosphere doesnt matter, nor surroundings..I just hafta be in the right state of mind. in any case, i write for myself.

[sakuragaoka]

Heh, it's a little like that for me. Wherever I am, I can describe it perfectly in my writing, for example, if I were in the middle of the mall, I could describle every little detail of the mall. And if I were in my room, I could describle every little detail of my room. I could do it the other way around, but the details wouldn't be quite clear.

If I'm around alot of people, and it's loud and noisy, then yes, my writing will have lots of loud and noisy-ness to it XD

But also, It depends how I'm feeling. One time, I wrote a short story at three o' clock AM. I was really sleepy, so I went to sleep in the middle of it. Then, when I woke up I read it and I wondered why all my characters were tired and falling asleep. It's wierd, too. Because it involved three middle school girls getting lost on Halloween night (Wow! I know it's so typical >_> There's more to it than that) so it was kind of funny seeing them all falling asleep and yawning after every other sentance.

Basically, it depends where I am and what mood I'm in. I can usually adapt to writing anywhere, but it effects my story/writing greatly.

[NightNGaleX3x]

I write where ever when ever... I have lot's of feelings so there comes lot's of writing what I feel at the time. I can write an utterly depressing poem or song or write the complete opposite.

[chinka]

Darkness, silence, in the middle of the night with barely a concious thought in me I write the dreams I can't have not sleeping. That way what I write comes from my deepest subconcious thoughts and it's as uniquely mine as possible. ^_^ just watch out for the spelling errors :-p

[beachbabe]

Hey, when i write normally it's when something happends to me and i need to get emotions out.. i'm not the type of girl that will sit and cry to get emotions out.. i tend to keep it inside and pretend that everything is ok on the outside.. ad that's what ppl assume.. but there are times when i have so much stuff inside trapped there that it needs to get out and i break down. I have to write.. i get things out... just last night i wrote "carbon" and i posted it on here today... i've gotten a lot of my work published.. I'm normally in my room under my bed *i have a bunk bed, there is no matress on the bottom just a couch thingy* and sometimes i listen to soft music... normally like piano music... something that i've played recently and have recorded... it relaxes me... because what ever flow the music is that's playing.. is how the flow o my writing becomes... if u listen to "canon in d" while reading "carbon" it seems to really fit together.. well i think i've rambled enough.. keep up the writing.. and yeah.. keep up the writing. ~Ally~

[platinumtitan]

I only write when i am f'in pissed off. the point of no return. so mad you can't even tell i'm mad. ppl say i have this sorta glazed look frozen i guess. then the words just start flowing. i've only been that mad a few times. so i really don't write alot. eh. i don't get mad easy

[hoodedslayer676]

I just write when im in a bad or depressing mood. or when something pops into my head.
