So, here I am, wondering what to post today... and there's nothing. Guess I'll get back to writing, and wait for tomorrow's Doctor Who. That's definitely topping the "to watch" list right now, and for the next twelve weeks, I suspect.
Ooooh, here's something about how writers work, answering questions about their work environment and habits. Let's see how it works out for me...
Where are you? Where my computer is :P As long as I have the time, and the materials, I can write just about anywhere.
What are you writing with? Currently the laptop. When I'm not going "hi-tech", I currently write in Moleskine notebooks with run-of-the-mill Bic pens.
What's the oddest object in front of you? Action figures. Plenty of action figures. I have an Action Man-sized artist's model thing, and currently hidden behind the laptop screen, there's a Microman action figure that serves much the same purpose, but is much better for posing.
What are you listening to? The TV is usually going in the background when I write. Right now, it's on Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles. There may be music instead from time to time, often Rush, or some of the "inspirational" tracks I've come to associate with my projects.
Is there anyone else in the room? A stunning Indian woman with fabulous long hair, dressed in nothing but thigh-high boots - ooops, sorry, wishful thinking. Nah, it's just me. I'd struggle to get anything done if I wasn't alone.
What time of day is it? 2231 BST - I'm usually doing my "on-screen" writing from about noon onwards. I can stay up really late (for me) if the creative spirit is with me.
What do you look at when you're looking for inspiration? Previous chapters, mainly, but comic books, DVDs and TV can set off a chain of thought sometimes. I try really hard not to take direct inspiration from shows and films, but sometimes something will stick, and I have to work around it.
What is guaranteed to remove your concentration? If I knew, I'd avoid it/them. Sometimes it just happens.
There we go. That was unexpected, and fun. Now, back to work (or more aimless surfing)...
