Not often. Although for The Melon Incident I did listen to the sound of rain falling on a wooden deck on youtube. There’s a 10 hour video for that. And I also have listened to the music Griffin Mcelroy did for The Adventure Zone for a few other things. So, I’ve started doing it more, but it’s not an all-the-time deal.
2. Are you a pantser or plotter?
Yes. I have dozens of hours of voice recording notes for fics, pages and pages of notes also. Then there’s the smutty ficlets I’ve written over the past few days just out of no where.
I think the ones that I plan out area smoother read though. Like, better plotted, planned, organized, smoother transition from one thought to another. Though they take me much longer.
5. How much writing do you get done on an average day?
On average? -200 words. Over the past couple days?
1,655 yesterday, thereabouts
1,994 +369 the day before. So a lot more than usual.
