When I'm out and about, as long as I can get a table in a pub or a café I can handwrite a fair bit in my notebook in those places it's just reading through it later that can be tricky.
3. What are your tricks for getting through writers block? change projects if there's several on the go, do some art bits (icons, wallpapers etc), watch something else, take a break for a day or so then go back to it, putting the music on and listening on headphones rather than speakers.
4. Favourite genre to write? Do you have a different favourite genre for reading? I only write fanfic. Usually non-fiction, crime/mystery, some sci-fi and horror. Reading fic tends to be whatever fandom/ship/character I'm obsessed with but sometimes I'll read fandom/ship/character that I have no knowledge of too.
5. What is something you really want to write but haven't gotten around to yet There's a few! Although I'm not writing Taggart fic anymore I wanted to do a ep tag fic to The Best and the Brightest which was going to deal with everything glossed over in the ep (reducing the times from almost 3 hours to just under an hour really hurt the show!) same fandom, I wanted to do a ep tag fic around Skin Deep to address all of those complicated relationship feels and also an ep tag around the Falling In Love/Death Trap/Fire Burn trilogy which had Jackie's wedding, Burke's arrival and Michael's murder but I never got to it. Pretty sure I had some notes for each of those back when I was writing fic for it but likely lost them. My main WIPs in Wycliffe, SG-1 and L&O: SVU that I talked about a little bit here are included.
