Never Have I Ever Tag [Writer's Edition]
Yup, I'm doing another writing tag, but it's raining, and what better time to write, right? Right.
Anyway, let's get on with doing this tag.
Never Have I Ever
........started a novel that I didn't finish?
Yes. I have this problem where I get a good idea, and start a project, but then I get another good idea, and want to use that instead. Anyway, it's slowly getting better, I think. Maybe. I don't know.
Moving on!
..........written a story completely by hand?
Nope! I have horrible handwriting, and, fun fact, for a long time I didn't even like to write. That is, until my Mom let me use her computer, which was WAY easier than paper and a pencil. So, I seriously doubt this one is ever going to happen. Like, ever.
......changed tenses midway through a story?
Unfortunately, yes,
......not researched anything before starting a story?
Again, yes. I rarely research, which doesn't matter much in sci-fi/fantasy [which is what I usually write], but, yes, I struggle with researching.
......changed my protagonist's name halfway through a draft?
Generally, no. I stick to my original name. And, if not, I change it very early on.
.......written a story in a month or less?
Uh, maybe. Some of my old stories may have been written in a month or so.
........fallen asleep while writing?
I used to get up REALLY early [around 4:00], so I think I did this once.
.........corrected someone's grammar IRL/online?
Nope, I can't say that I have.
.......yelled in all caps at myself in the middle of the novel?
No, I don't think so.
........used ''I'm writing'' as an excuse?
Yes, definitely. It rarely works, but I still try.
''Yes, I'd love to go to that party, but I'm writing. Maybe another time? Like never.''
......killed a character that was based on someone I know in real life?
No. It sounds like something I might do, though.
......used pop culture references in a story?
Yes, definitely. Even in my high fantasy/sci-fi ones, I will almost certainly sneak in a few.
......written between the hours of 1 a.m and 6 a.m?
Yes, I have. When I was getting up at 4:00.
........drank an entire pot of coffee while writing?
I'm not a coffee fan, so no.
......written down dreams to use in potential novels?
No, my dreams are too weird for that.
.....published an unedited story on the Internet/blog/Wattpad?
Yes. I don't really edit, I just go through, and check for spelling mistakes [which I sometimes don't catch].
......procrastinated homework because I wanted to write?
No, because I'm homeschooled, so I don't really have homework.
......typed so long that my wrists hurt?
No! And not for lack of writing for hours on end. Maybe I just have tough wrists?
......spilled a drink on my laptop while writing?
Thankfully, no.
.......forgotten to save my work/draft?
I think my computer does it automatically, so no.
.......finished a novel?
Yup! Several, actually.
.....laughed like an evil villain while writing a scene?
Yes, I have. It's the best.
....cried while writing a scene?
No. Apparently, I have no feelings, because I almost never cry.
.....created maps of my fictional worlds?
No. I'm a pretty terrible artist, so I've never attempted this.
.....researched something shady for a novel?
Yes, this is pretty much the one thing I do research. Hopefully, no one finds that I search for 'deadliest poisons' or 'how lethal is a dagger'.
Alright, that's all for this tag. It was fun.
I loved reading about this, thanks for sharing and it really gives insight into your writing habits

Thanks. It was fun to write.
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting Tag to do! I'm glad I found it. 😊
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you finished several novels already! I'm very interested...😃
I once researched a list of poisonous plants for names, such as Oleander, Belladonna, Tamarack, etc. Anything for a good story, right? 😉
