[Meme] Situations to write

Two memes cause it’s almost Nano and I’m writing this one quickly.

Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol’ pen and paper?
Simply put: I’m most comfy writing anywhere I can sit up. Can’t write on the bed and can’t write lying down, but sitting up with my legs on the chair or on the floor will do just fine. And of course, while pen and paper are nice, I find writing’s best in a dark room with just me and my text on the computer.

Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
Hah! My characters don’t get music. They rarely get a theme song, cause I find that reducing their existence to a single song to be quite… insulting? So what they get is scene music. Which is why you’ll find my Nanowrimo playlist full of anime OSTs and random full-length album music. I generally go by the the tone and mood set by the song rather than then actual meaning of the song; it’s quite likely that I’ll be writing something cheerfully depressive with Angela Aki’s Mad Scientist for this year’s Nano while doing the rebellious them plot points with Complication from Durarara!

Which reminds me I need to put the Men’s Only Drama CD for Little Women on Ysabell so I have something to listen to while driving to work.
