TMI Wednesday - Mid-Pandemic Edition

I'm stuck at home and all tied up with work, as opposed to anything more fun, so ask away! Any questions at all and I'll answer them later on today!
Hope you're all doing well with the current situation, wherever you are. <3

And lots of netflix watching and snuggling.
It depends. If I'm writing any fiction for $ or for someone else, I will usually extensively outline, though how broad versus more particular and specific that outline will get will vary from project to project. As a rule when I'm writing for myself I will usually not outline at all and I'll simply write wherever the story and characters end up taking me, which may be in an entirely different direction than I had in mind when I started out. I also don't write from start to finish; instead I usually bounce around from scene to scene, or even from a bit of dialogue and interaction to another that comes to mind and then onto the next idea that pops into my head and lastly I'll piece together everything so it flows logically from one to the next. I am not the most disciplined writer, and I have a lot of eccentricities in my method due to never having been trained properly in school (never took any creative writing classes, and the only English or Lit classes I took were the required undergraduate ones) but being around 99% self-taught. Yet it seems to work for me.
In IRL play? Oh no. No no. They get taken off, usually slowly and intentionally by my partner with a line like, 'You won't need these' or 'I don't want to harm these, unlike you' etc. And they get placed somewhere careful until after we're completely finished.
That's a really good question!
And thank you for the compliment! I'm really glad you like my stories!
