Ida the Tornado

Since I was a young girl, I started to write my own story – about ten years ago. It was science fiction, of course, because I am obsessed with supernatural things. 

I also love comic books. I grew up reading comic books, watching Marvel series and movies. I enjoy the connections between them and the possibilities there are. There is no limit in creating them, in creating characters, stories, and timelines. 

I have a very vivid imagination, and I talk to myself whenever I am alone. I am always creating these sorts of stories in my head; Original stories with the characters I created.

Most of the time that I write, something comes to my mind that I can not ignore. It could be affected by a situation I was in, a phrase I have heard, a scene or view that I saw, or a certain feeling I had for a moment; and that becomes a phrase or a short story, bursts out wants to break free of its cage and comes out. So it doesn’t really matter where I am, what I am doing, what time it is, and who I’m talking to; I have to take out my phone and start writing right away! 

Then it is time to think about it before making it into a story. which I sincerely believe that the time you spend writing should be split to 80% thinking about it and 20% writing about it.

Every day at 7 p.m, it is time for my 1-hour run. I don’t think about the route I’m taking; I just run. 

I don’t see the sun, but the beams are still there. A mild cold wind runs through my hair as I begin to run. I breathe in, then breathe out. And it is like that everything I want to write next, visualize right in front of me, and suddenly I am out of this world. 

I repeat the story and conversations in my head over and over again. I put myself in those characters’ shoes and become them until I find something that perfectly suits that situation and makes that character unique. 

And then when I get home, I am going to write them down.

So how is your writing routine? Should you sit down somewhere far away from any being and sound to focus? Or can you write in a busy, crowded cafe too? Do you have to know what you want to write, or can you find out about your topic just by looking around you?
