Cause it's a Tuesday

I haven't written anything real since Saturday. But, I have been a marathon editor and motion graphics marathon runner in the past 36 or so hours. I feel as though that is worth blogging about. But, that's it I worked nine hours yesterday to create a one minute ad. I powered though completely forgetting to eat lunch and al I know is people like it. I hope people buy the magazine or at least check out it's website because of my efforts. But, point being I'll make out my invoice and a week later I'll have a ass load of cash to that I can buy really nice craft beers with. But, I feel like I decided to writ tonight with another reason. And that reason is to talk about habits and such.

The concept of method acting has been around for sometime now. But, what about method writing? Every piece I write I find it important to drink and eat, what my character might drink and eat.  Take for instance Lionel was written with a bottle of cheap whiskey.  I'm not one of those writers that needs to be under the influence to write. But, I do need to be in the characters mindset. Although, I do not write in the first person that often, I feel the need to in my characters mind.

As I am writing this science fiction piece my bed has transformed from the bridge of the ship to the ships exterior. Because, not only do I write out scenes; I act them out. I live the characters I write. Which is why I only write on the weekends. Because, I can't be a space cadet at work. It just wouldn't fly. But, with the play I'm writing for my father's acting troupe back East, I've taken the roll of the audience. When one is pandering this is the best view one can take. I start thinking like these 50+ year olds and I start drinking what they would drink and eat what the would eat. This is when I begin to wonder if I'm losing track of the characters and if this is the right perspective to take while writing. 

So, that's where I am right now. I hope you have an opinion. Should, I stay in the perspective of the characters or should I switch it up for this play and be the audience? But, is being the audience the essence of pandering?'

Thank you.
