ahsjabjbasj im cleaning out my bookmarks folder and found these tweets/notes tHAT I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT WHILE DOING THAT WRITING MEME LAST MONTH so im putting them in a post here and tagging it appropriately so i can remember later when i actually sit down to write (one day)

• Sabine [Guðrún] would probably also wear lots of star-themed clothes and/or accessories
• Like two mood rings at once (because moods can be dangerous and you can never be too sure).
• Or lockets with pictures of people from magazines (because why not?).
• puddles can be portals??? at least during dreams?????
• “Call me by my real name so I can come home.”

Writing Playlist.

I really don’t have a specific playlist for writing?? I usually just put my iTunes on shuffle or play something random from Spotify. I’m currently in the middle of making of specific mixtape for Dick & Jane (and when I say “in the middle of”, I actually mean “have yet to start”).

Pretend you’re a critic and give a fair but concise criticism of your project so far.

Who else has read it? Or heard about it? Does anyone know you’re writing?

tumblr congrats u are the FIRST to hear about all of this give urself a pat on the back

I really don’t like to talk about my creative pursuits in general?? It makes me feel weird, like I’m giving something away… I generally like to surprise people, I guess! There was a person I did want to talk with this about, and I may have made a vague mention a few months ago when Dick & Jane was no more than a wisp of an idea, but sadly, this person is no longer in my life… So really, tumblr is the only place where I’ve mentioned any of this.

How often do you write it and in what environment?

I’d like to start writing for at least 2-3 hours a day, maybe up to 5 hours, if I’m lucky enough… I probably won’t get that much, though -__-^ I’d have to write in an environment with the following requirements:

• little to no distraction, or anticipation of distractions/errands
• able to play music loudly (music MUST be playing)
• free time/no responsibilities
• warmth
• comfortable working area
• food + water
• internet access that isn’t shitty

That’s usually if I’m at my laptop, which is where I’d be primarily working. If I’m on-the-go (which I normally am), then I’d probably just be typing on my phone with any of the following apps (for both writing and reference):
• Notes, gChrome [browser], gDrive, gTranslate, Wikipedia, and also making sure my phone’s keyboard can support the Icelandic alphabet (it can, but it doesn’t always sync over properly -w-)
• Music, 8tracks, iHeartRadio
A Novel Idea [story plotting, character profiles, locations, etc]
Werdsmith [writing app]
PenZen [another writing app, more simpler than Werdsmith]
DulyNoted [another gr8 note app]
Cheddar [to-do list; helps with getting stuff done]

I actually find this to be pretty funny… smartphones play a big part in our world nowadays, and in Dick & Jane, this is no exception! So of course, Guðrún and Richard have fancy apps on their phones for art/photography (instagram, camera awesome, LINE brush) and writing/note-taking, respectively (Guðrún would probably also have a few outdoorsy/nature apps, like Geocaching, Opencaching, Compass, Altitude, or AllTrails).The way I see it, one can use a touchscreen device as a sort of modern way to literally draw protection for themselves. For example:

Protection against vampires!
image

Protection against the evil eye!
image

Protection against MRAs!
image

This is an Icelandic stave! Guðrún will probably use a few of these. This particular one is “Rosahringur minni”, a circle of protection.

I know everyone hates the winter because of the snow and cold, but I guess the opposite is why I hate the summer. I hate the heat and its heavy oppression. I hate the sweat and accompanying stickiness. It seems that the summers are too, too hot and the winters are never cold enough. The summer sun burns everything it touches, blinding orange-white against pure blue; the winter sun hangs sad and lonely in a pale forgotten sky. The worst the summer can do to me is turn white skin to tomato red. But winter? Winter is not known for its kindness. The cold wrecks my joints and hurts my bones. The thin air makes it impossible to breathe. You might wonder why I prefer a thing that hurts me but to be honest, I don’t feel hurt at all. Winter brings loneliness and pain and tears but it reminds me what it’s like to really be alive.

What is the main twist/ plot point?

Character origins/backgrounds, I suppose?? A character that we thought was a good guy really isn’t! And such. Also, this is a terrible question.
