lathrielI skipped a day, so you get two today ;)
6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?
I am probably most comfortable writing, as cliche as it is, in a coffee shop. At home, I'm too distracted by cats, other things I could do, cleaning... by leaving the apartment, I have more of a sense of "going to work," and that helps me plunk down in a chair and actually write. The noise doesn't bother me- it actually helps me focus.
I can write at any time. I used to be a night writer, and a part of me still loves writing at night, but I get up at 8:30 these days, check my email, and head out to write. I can write all day. A part of me also loves very early morning writing- there's always a sense of peaceful adventure at that hour.
Depending on the kind of project, computer and pen + paper are both good. I wrote a good chunk of TPaL in a blue journal that Laura gave me, but once it really took off I had to put it all on my computer. The thing that stops me from using pen + paper most of the time is that I hate transcribing. But for brainstorming, taking notes, making lists, pen + paper is definitely the way to go.
