Writing Quirks

[author_by_night]

Writers are quirky, no doubt about it.

If you write, tell me some of your quirks. We all have quirky writing habits - whether it's how we write, how we get ideas, etc.

Go forth, but don't multiply, because writing and mathematics don't mix.

When I'm writing poetry, I'm most inspired at night. I've woken up in the middle of the night, turned on my lamp, written a poem, and gone back to sleep.

Actually, when writing in general, I prefer writing at night. I can stay up until 2am or 3am easily, working on a piece of fiction.

I write poetry in a notebook, often with a different colored pen depending on my mood or the subject. I write everything else on a computer. I like the feel of the keys beneath my fingers. Stream of consciousness comes out when I write letters to people. I've written some very personal letters that way. I see my letters as a form of my writing.
