Day 10

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 1 might be a good place to start!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

So okay, NEW and not really NEW, cuz they were both in fandoms I've done before but I participated in PodfIDIC, and kinda wrote and recorded words I wrote, and OMG it was so hard to decide whether or not I was gonna ACTUALLY do it. And then I did, and now I'm all flustered about it, but I think it totally counts as doing this thing! ^_^ Cuz it was new to me, to write n record something.... STRANGE UNUSUAL NESS...

Day 3

In your own space, talk about your creative process - from what inspires you to what motivates you to how you manage to break through blocks. Does your process change depending on the type of creating you're doing? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Okay, so let's talk about my creative process:


So I have this habit of picking up really long stories to record. Because I dunno, I tend to read long stories before I read the shorter ones, which is just how it happens with me for some reason, I don't know why. Anyway, I like to take the chosen story, and break down into bits. For example: I was working on Make Your Home in Me by [livejournal.com profile] samyazaz which has a word count of 73,180, split into like 18 chapters. I'll take each chapter and split it up into scenes.
Chapter One 5,367
1498
2278
3278
4159
5191
6231
7326
82,807
9833



 Like that *points* Then I'm have a general idea of how long each little scene will take, and I can record what I can whenever I have the time to do so. I keep a handwritten list, as well as an excel spreadsheet, to keep track of what I get done when. XD

My lists are kinda what keeps me going? Like, I dunno, it's like proof that I'm actually getting stuff done. I'm not just... reading and getting nothing done, lol. Keeps me in check, and I always know where I am and what I need to get done. And it helps me plan my recording evenings. I <3 my lists. xD

If I get blocked I tend to just... attempt to power through. It doesn't always work, half the time powering through ends with me staring at my mic, and wondering why can't I do the thing?I was able to do the thing yesterday. Just... do it... Or I'll switch projects. I tend to have more than one project going on at a time. Which, when I first started like a year n a half ago I would never have attempted, but I am SO much more organized now... most of the time... ((like I said LISTS))

I fail at making podart, unless I'm super inspired about it during the recording process, which I have a couple of pods still in progress that have art because I was inspired to do it. So unless someone pushes me for it (AND gives me all the ideas, I'm talkin' to you [archiveofourown.org profile] dancinbutterfly lol) half the time I don't do it. xD

Yup so my lists keep me going man. All the lists. I dunno, it's weird and strange but I love it haha. <3 Okay, wow this was ranty and probably not very informative. I'm so sorry. xD Thanks for reading it? I guess. *hides under things*

Day 2

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.


Dude, what do would I want? Um...

1. More fandom friends? LoL, I'm in oh goodness many many many fandoms (Teen Wolf, SPN, Avengers, Les Mis, HP, James Bond, etc etc) I'm easily swayed into fandoms. xD SO EASILY. I mostly podfic, since I don't feel like I'm a very good writer. xD I've mostly given up on it. xD But yeah, rant aside, I'd really like more people to talk to! All the talking!! <3

2. (Pod)Fic Recs. I'm reading almost constantly, even when I'm not recording, when I'm chasing around my two year old. I like to listen and I love to read, so fic and podfic recs are welcome in ALL the fandoms. All of them. What do you guys enjoy? I repeat I'm easily converted to fandoms... <3

3. Repods, I'm gonna say repods, of any of the podfics I've done. I LOVE the stories I've done, and I'll reread them often, but there are very few of my own pods that I can listen to. I'd LOVE to hear other peoples pods of some of the stuff I've done. Cuz it'd be magic. LoL <3





Wow that was difficult! But now it's done! YAY! I feel accomplished! <3
