What can I say...I asked the question, so now I have to put this thingy here myself. If anyone wants to ask, feel free.

hehehehee

Ask me one question - any one - about my writing, then post this in your LJ so I can satisfy my curiosity about yours...

Hm... how do you find the inspiration for your writings? Do you look for it? Or does it strike you all of a sudden?

I don't look for inspiration, it comes to me. It can be triggered by anything, a sentence, an image, a comment by someone. It can also happen in any place. Even when I'm class and my students are working on something, I go and write whatever crosses my mind.

^^

It happens to me too. Especially when I'm the middle of a studying session. :S

But can you imagine that??? I'm the teacher!!!!!!

XD

Okay, here's my question... Let's see... it's tricky...

Do you share your characters' feelings when you write about the emotions they feel?

I mean do the sensations of regret, hope, fear, hate, love, or whatever it is the characters are feeling at the time affect the way you write?

I mean... do you write from the heart, putting yourself in there mong the characters, or do you write from a more distanced and maybe intellectually detatched position?

Sometimes.

I guess that's the answer. I mean, when I'm writing about their feelings, which is almost always, I'm all the time thinking about how I would feel or what I would do in a situation like those I make my characters go through. Other times I think about how I've felt or am feeling at he moment.

Yes, I write from my heart. I know no other way to do it.

Ok, question: When you're given a theme and you've got to develop it, do you plan it through first or you just write and hope for the best?

Well, I always write a sentence at first. Or at least I say it in my head. No matter the theme, I always have a first sentence that helps me go through the whole thing. Even if I don't have anything planned at first, my mind is already working and begins plotting the idea. I know how i will begin and how I will end, I never know the in between (and here's where I have fun)

I never write hoping for the best. My brain and my guts always tell me what road to take. ^^

Ah, a Goethian approach then.^^

I guess so ^^
