Do you carry a notebook to jot ideas or just remember all of them? (I’m pretty sure my brain is mush)

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

@QuarantineKlark Tech savvy, thanks for that idea!

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

@AceOnFire77 That’s what’s up, I like that

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

@MLStevens13 Ho-ly shite! That’s awesome!

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

@AiJiang_ It’s not my fav but when it’s executed well I enjoy a deeper sense of connection with the writer, as if I’m the one and only audience

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

Do you stop reading books in your genre when drafting a novel? Or do you read even more?

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

@TeaWhileWriting I know what you mean! I wonder if we share some kind of minor psychosis 😬😂

[CJ Blu @blu_cj]

Is writing freeing or fulfilling to you? Maybe something else?
