Coffee.Blood.WoW...WTF?
So, I started work on my two stories for the j2_kane_bigbang (and yap, I'm writing 2, the Steve/Jensen one I already signed up for and a way more complex Chris/Steve one in co-op with crimson_jay_o) and while I´m still somewhat stuck in a post-BB writing rut (at least I hope that´s what it is, coz otherwise I might have just lost my writing ability alltogether...again...) I´m making progress.
It´s mostly just plotting with Crimson and making notes and juggling around with ideas and those pesky timelines...but yeah, it´s progress.
And then we have those moments when I look at my notes and all I can think is "WTF? Why do you do this to yourself? Why do you write about stuff you don´t even know?" Yeah, there are currently 3 things in my stories that have popped up that I have no idea about but they have proven very darn important...*sigh*
- Coffee: So, one of the stories (the C/S one) is in large parts set in a coffee shop, so people are gonna order coffee. And me having this stupid "character building" obsession means that I wanna customize the orders. So there´s gonna be no "she ordered her usual", no "he got his coffee" or anything like that. It´s gonna be all "double chocolate latte with sprinkles and cream" or stuff like that...only, I don´t know the first thing about coffee - mainly coz I don´t drink that stuff. So yeah, I guess every time someone in the story is gonna order coffee there is gonna be a panicked What´s app message to Crimson along the lines of "what kind of coffee would xx order if he were in this-and-that sorta mood?" - sorry hon...
- Blood: Anyone here remember any of that A,B,AB,0 blood type stuff from school? Yeah, coz I don´t? I mean I obviously know the basics but somehow it´s all kinda blurry and makes my head hurt - which I sure it didn´t 10 years ago when I was in school. But yeah, don´t even know my own blood type so...But this is an easy one and should be solved after a few minutes of wikipedia-ing...
- WoW: or really just MMORPGs in general. One of my characters is gonna be a lil geek and there are gonna be some references to whatever game he/she (not telling...) is playing...but I only ever played "Runes of Magic" for like a week before I was out of that training area and at the point where I had to interact with other players and just...no *shakes her head* Add to that that I´m not really into the whole "High Fantasy" stuff with elves and ogres and magic and stuff (I prefer my magic in the context of some Realism, thank you very much!) and you know why coming up with WoW related "Yo mama" jokes is gonna be a lil hard for me...but once again Crimson is gonna safe me, wheter she likes it or not.
But I still have some time to figure all that stuff out and in the meantime I can always write around it. I mean that´s what brackets are mean for, right? [insert snarky comment here]
