Crazy s I've done in the name of writing

I saw a post on tumblr talking about someone's crazy personal experience that they've done IN THE NAME OF WRITING!!!
and i was like "hey i wanna make one too"

So here it is, some crazy stuffs I've done, all in the name of ""research"":

  1. Getting myself piss drunk to know what getting wasted feels like.
  2. Pausing in the middle of a food poisoning to get myself to remember how it feels to be extremely sick.
  3. Having a very random first kiss(es) experience with some random uni friends because I decided it’s time to know how kissing feels for me to write a proper kissing scene.
  4. Basically going into many new experience/bad experience/any type of experience tbh fueled 70% with the need to add them to my ‘writing reference’
  5. Shamelessly asking my only close male friend about the and the .
  6. Saying my dialogues in front of a mirror to see what expression would come naturally when they’re being said.
  7. Having verbal discussion with my characters so that I might know what the hell they might do in certain scenes.
  8. Stand in the bathroom for an extra 20 mins before I take a shower just because I’ve finally figured out a good way to continue a scene. (Tbh, just suddenly pausing your day to write that one scene that’s been bugging you because you’re afraid you’ll forget)
  9. Wasting my money buying fancy cheeses so I can describe their flavour.
  10. Going to New Zealand.
  11. Putting a wonky, suspiciously made turmeric mask on my face when I have an important presentation the next day just to see how the colour looks on the skin, and if it stains (if you use powdered turmeric, it doesn’t)
  12. Baking a pavlova at 2 AM because i want to know what /might/ go wrong when making it.

 

and so many more, probably, but those are the ones that stood out to me LOL

 

What are the crazy s you've done for your writings?? DISCUSS!!

I've did the saying dialogues and pausing to think of scenes thing (I read dialogues to myself when I'm on my bed, whether it's before I go to bed or when I wake up midnight not knowing what to do)
Watched some vids/gifs just in case I need them in the future (oops)

Honestly what crazy stuff could I have done like how old am I pls

This is awesome, I never done something like that even though I do write. Does it means that I'm a bad writer?
Anyway, it's a different perspective and I'll gladly look into it.

Lol, the one about cheeses got me xDDD that's so funny Haha

Hmmm, I guess writing must not be a passion for me, cause I literally just google what things are like if I haven't experienced them myself o.o Sure, I like to act out a scene to see if it flows (and its funny how intense it gets lol) but I don't think I've ever tried anything new.. Ah, well.

Keep it up!
