Yup, same for me here Also true for the editing part, most obvious when you start to write a paper or an essay for class.

Haha, yeah. I think editing is a form of procrastination . . . sometimes, anyhow.

Mine is "Thinking about Fruit Roll-Ups" right now, but usually it's chocolate, so I totally get it.

ROFL
So then the process is pretty much uniform for all writers? Though for me its less chocolate, more watching anime and surfing the net between...sentences

I've actually run out of good shows to stream on there, so . . . I don't know if I should be grateful or disappointed.

Hahahaha, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say 99.99% of all writers share this process.

So all the while you think about writing and actually write, you think also of chocolate? That's messed up.
Though I think about chocolate a lot. Especially now that I stopped eating it for a short time so I don't get acne all over my face for my entrance exam and graduation...
Yes, I'm mildly allergic to chocolate and nuts. Annoying.

illuminara In reply to Noder [2011-04-14 17:38:38 +0000 UTC]
Exactly! That's what I do . . . always thinking about chocolate. Sometimes I even eat it, too.
I can't do anything to get rid of my acne. So when are you graduating? That's exciting.
Aww, being allergic to stuff sucks.

Noder In reply to illuminara [2011-04-14 19:40:21 +0000 UTC]
I'll have a bunch of exams. I'll have maths, literature, history and biology. On the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the... 10th of May... but!
I'm not worrying anymore. I took a trial test today, and it was fairly easy, so I'm left with worries about my entrance test to university now... damn.
Oh did I mention I'll have the entrance exam on the same day as my graduation ceremony? So naturally, I won't be able to attend to it, instead go work my ass off in a different city to get my way into further studies. All messed up.

Who isn't? I will send them chocolate and see if that distracts them.

So, so true! I would probably have so much more written overall if I actually just sat down and wrote something. I should really get on this . . .

This is scarily accurate. Your insight into the writing process impresses me.

Well, I'd say any time spent thinking about chocolate (and writing) is time well spent.

Is there an emote for chocolate? That would be appropriate at this time.
