I don't know about you guys, but when I am sitting down to write a paper, or anything that will be longer than a page, I really love to have a soda or something else to drink. It isn't even the caffeine, although Dr Pepper is my drink of choice. Right now I'm taking a break from writing, but I have an open Shasta Black Cherry soda can on my desk. It's almost to the point that after so many minutes of writing I have to get up and get a soda or stop. Maybe I just do it to break the monotony.
How about you guys? Do you have any strange writing habits?
Sometimes I feel like my writing is word vomit. I just write and write and rewrite until I have nothing left to say. When I am going back through I sometimes wonder why I was trying to say or what the point of that comment was.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds unpleasant, and I know exactly what you mean. I think that is why I like to break up the routine. When I feel I am really forcing it, I pause and take a drink. Keeps the sanity that way.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I loved this post! My roommates would make fun of me every time I sat down to write. They would say they could tell every time I had a paper due because the kitchen table would become mine! I spread like pangaea with my computer, papers, books, lots and lots of diet coke cans and of course--sunflower seeds! :)
ReplyDeleteCarlie, that is exactly what I do. My computer desk is covered in books and notebooks and often empty soda cups. Good thinking just needs its own space I guess
