--On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I need to figure out what a "typical" day is lately! Actually writing? Maybe 30 minutes or so. Researching or brainstorming? Maybe an hour. I'm hoping to move that up a bit...

I started putting down some ideas for adding a sequel to a Clark/Bruce story that I wrote... uh, probably over a decade ago? I've wanted to add to it for ages, though... I finally came up with a hook that makes me want to write it (re-writing the iconic "cruise ship meeting" story with a genderswapped Clark) and it might actually get my heart back into it! I'm very excited.

How are your typical days right now? And what are you working on?

Ha, a typical day? In these times? ;)

My typical writing time is anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what else I've got going on. One of my favorite writing times occurs when I'm watching TV. I'm writing while I watch. I used to study like that, too. All A's! ;)

Wow, good to hear about your Clark/Bruce story! Never feel awkward about reviving an old story. I just picked up a Bruce/Dick story that's been untouched for 4 1/2 years. :)

I've gotten a surge of creativity for fanfic lately, so I'm riding it while I've got it! :)

Wow, same here. Not sure what a typical day is. On what I formerly thought was a typical day I would write during lunch, at least in the form of notes. Then in the evening meet up with trobadora for chats and for a ling time Write Every Day worked out to give me a steady routine. These days by the time I settle down it's later than in past years and it's much harder to get into the right cam headspace. But I'm working to get back into the routine of maybe 1-2 hours a day of uninterrupted calm writing time. :)

That is amazing! I do have stories like that and also keep ideas in the drawer and sometimes all it needs is the right idea that brings it back on the table and makes it come together.

I am writing something that I've been sitting on for three years now. The beginning still gives me headaches, but this time I think it wants work out. ;)
