Some people probably sit in front of their computers, alone and concentrated every time they work on their stories. Others, I imagine, write in cafes, on the train, while visiting their friends or in the presence of their children. - In other words away from home or in the presence of others.
I tend to do that quite often, and sometimes things turn out ... Well, odd.
Today I was on a long train ride, and I was working on my story. I'd just gotten to one of the rather physically and emotionally violent bits when a man with three small children sat down more or less around me.
A while back, I was writing about child abuse in the middle of the night next to my sleeping boyfriend. That was slightly disturbing too.
So do these things happen to others? Have you been writing a quiet, serene scene while your children were wrecking havoc in the house around you? Written torture while cooking red meat? Been asked by strangers on the train what you were writing while in the middle of a steaming sex scene? - Care to share? :-)

Nogle sidder nok alene og koncenrerede foran deres computer hver gang de arbejder på deres historier. Jeg kunne forestille mig, at andre skriver på cafeer, i toget, mens de besøger deres venner eller mens deres børn er der. - Med andre ord: Væk fra hjemmet eller i andres nærvær.
Jeg gør det ret ofte, og nogle gange bliver det hele lidt ... Mærkeligt.
I dag kørte jeg et godt stykke med tog, mens jeg arbejde på min historie. Jeg var lige kommet til et temmelig fysisk og mentalt voldsomt sted, da der satte sig en mand med tre børn ned mere eller mindre omkring mig.
For noget tid siden skrev jeg om børnemisbrug midt om natten ved siden af min sovende kæreste. Det var også lidt forstyrrende.
Sker sådan noget for andre? Har I skrevet en stille, fredfyldt scene, mens jeres børn splittede huset af omkring jer? Skrevet tortur, mens I tilberedte rødt kød? Er I blevet spurgt af fremmede i toget, hvad I skriver midt i en hed sexscene? - Og har I lyst til at dele? :-)

I have to girls, one is 15 and follows Mums progress. Which tends to make me a bit edgy as my main characters are a new, gay couple, which means a good deal of "splurgy" sex. In fact, the only thing that stops continuous cum shots splattering all over the virtual pages are their condoms, they play safe. The other one doesn´t give a sod, thankfully. So the older girl has finally gotten the point and now bends over to look ONLY at the page counter at the bottom of the screen.
Jeg har to piger, den ene er 15 og følger med i mors fremskridt. Hvilket jeg ikke er vildt begejstret for, eftersom mine hovedpersoner er et nyt bøsspar, og det betyder en pæn sjat "splattende " sex. Faktisk er det eneste, der forhindrer skud på skud i at drive ned over de virtuelle sider deres kondomer, for de dyrker sikker sex. Den anden er heldigvis bedøvende ligeglad. Så den store har endelig fattet en fin hentydning og står nu bøjet for KUN at se på sideangivelsen nederst på skærmen

Haha, glad it's not just me. :-)
My main character's very ... sexually active. It doesn't bother me that he's gay, but it has taken a while getting used to writing explicit sex scenes (regardless of sexual orientation) in cafes and ... well, in the same room as my parents.
//
Haha, jeg er glad for, det ikke bare er mig. :-)
Min hovedperson er meget ... seksuelt aktiv. Det rører mig ikke, at han er til fyre, men det har taget mig lidt tid at vænne mig til at skrive eksplicitte sexscener (uanset seksuel orientering) på cafeer og ... hm, i samme stue som mine forældre.

Now THERE is a misunderstanding! The awkwardness is writing about sex AND have your nine-year old read it. Or catching your diabetic friend crying over your in-depth descriptions of an entire cake shop in all its glorious, icing-covered details. The clash is the point.
Se DET har du fået galt i halsen! Det kejtede er at skrive om sex OG se sit 9-årsbarn læse det. Eller fange sin diabetikerveninde i at tude over ens grundige beskrivelse af et konditori i al sin glasurdækkede herlighed. Det er kontrasten, der er pointen

Yes, you did misunderstand. I was not commenting on your child reading your book.
I was commenting about erotic sex well in your novel ans a possible source if you needed it.

Ja, det gjorde du misforstår. Jeg var ikke kommentere på dit barn læse din bog.
Jeg var kommenterede om erotisk sex godt i din roman som en mulig kilde, hvis du har brug for det

Not that I'm really embarrased or feel that it's awkward, I just thought it was a fun case of synchronicity.
I thought it was fun to find out that while I had worked certain personal fetishes into the story, somebody who I'd recently met on the net who share those turned out to be a fellow NaNoWriMo'er, and she had actually thought of some non-fetish plot elements that were similar to my own.
----
Ikke at jeg synes det er specielt akavet eller pinligt, jeg synes bare det er et sjovt tilfælde af det som Jung kalder synchronicity.
Jeg syntes det var sjovt at se, at mens jeg havde indarbejdet et par personlige fetisher i min historie, så viste det sig at en person med de samme interesser, som jeg for nyligt havde mødt på nettet faktisk var tidligere NaNoWriMo'er og at hun faktisk havde arbejdet med et plot der havde nogen ikke-fetishistiske elementer til fælles med min historie.

Og en kinky verden, ser det ud til :) Tak for det link du postede tidligere, det skal jeg helt sikkert se nærmere på.

NO I DID NOT!!!! Misunderstand YOU.
I don´t know if you´re doing it on purpose, but let me try once again. The CLASH between one´s writing and srroundings is the creator of an awkward situation. Last year I wrote about food and drink, shared it with friends. One is a Kurdish refugee in whose world alcohol was consumed by Baath party members who came to her school, picked a girl, took her to the headmaster´s office and took turns molesting her. I like porters, stouts, good red wines and G&T. I found myself all too aware that she read my defense of the joys these drinks bring. THAT was an example of an awkward situation.
----------I could well add that I am pushing 44, married and in no need of outside inspiration. The most important sex part rests firmly between a person´s ears, and my personal version feeds me amply. If this sounds hostile, I give up, but if it only sounds a little weary - well ...
