Cravings due to your novel?

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

My characters have been stuck in breakfast time their time for three days my time now! They've already had two breakfasts in their one morning, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY CHEESE DANISH IN MY FRIDGE!!! This has produced the most severe cravings on my behalf ... especially considering that I've quarantined myself due to having the swine flu right now, and so the earliest I'll be able to leave home to go to the particular store that sells good Danish is sometime Sunday (two days from now), provided that I get better (which I need to so that I can go to work on Monday)....

But that got me to wondering, have any of you had a situation in your novel that made you crave something? Or has a craving of yours worked its way into the pages of your novel? (Mine just did....)

ONLY CRAVINGS FOR TRUE LOVE~

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

Haha, thanks! I knew having a sobbing icon would come in handy someday. ^^

You can feel free to use it. I credited http://questionablecontent.net/ and mystical_chickn (who did the screenshot).

Ah, but who wouldn't crave true love? XD

Does it count if it's not food? XD When I gave my MC fingerless striped cloves, I couldn't help wanting my own really badly.

[janenx01.livejournal.com]

Ooh, now I want some too! I bet they're easy to make. I have a glove book around here somewhere...

My word count is so bad, I might as well knit. :P

[fremd.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I feel you, I've only got half of what I'm supposed to. That what I get for starting on the fourth day, I guess!

Yeah, I think I can sew some, I've got some extra fabric around. Maybe after November. XD

Potatoes.

That's just it. I want potatoes. Raw. I feel like a pregnant woman.

[forever-alone.livejournal.com]

In designing the outfits and uniforms for my characters I found myself growing more and more jealous of their clothes! And most of it isn't even stuff I could wear anywhere (it's clothes from ~THE FUTURE~ and most of it is 150% ridiculous and tacky.) My MC also has a bitchin' pair of gloves that I'd KILL for.

[fremd.livejournal.com]

Exactly! One of characters dresses in 17th century dresses and I want to wear them so bad! I can't, though, because that sort of thing looks ridiculous outside of certain circumstances these days.

My fashion sense is so wacky.

[being-lola-star.livejournal.com]

Not pregnant and I always end up eating pieces of raw potatoes, I'm too lazy/sick/tired/in college to cook them. Now I want potatoes and it's 1AM

[silens-muse.livejournal.com]

It sucks because one of my main characters just eats potatoes. Or potato related foods. And she eats a lot. Damn demons.

[gleiphnir.livejournal.com]

I haven't really gotten cravings...

But I will say that I have been vegan for 7 years and I never write vegan characters.

They eat a lot of bacon. And fancy cheeses.

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

Oooh, fingerless gloves! *now desperately wants to crochet*

And yes, it counts. ^^

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

Ah, the cool clothes our characters get to wear.... The lucky ducks!

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

My fashion sense is wacky, too, and I'd totally dress like that if I could get away with it! (Too bad I didn't think of it in time for Halloween!)

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

Demons get all the breaks. ;-)

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

I always used to beg slices of raw potatoes off my mom when I was a kid, and then I wouldn't eat whatever potato dish she was cooking....

[silens-muse.livejournal.com]

They really do. Especially this one since she's considered the savior of the world, and gets whatever she wants as a result.

You don't piss off the savior, man.

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

That's interesting!

My characters were just going to eat lots of fancy cheeses (and breads and apples) for their breakfast, since they were traveling, but then they were providentially offered another breakfast at a village. I think my craving stuck that in there just so it could make me want cheese Danish even more!

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely not, especially when she's a demon. (My MC is going to be found to be half demon, and will save her whole region. Not someone to piss off!)

[silens-muse.livejournal.com]

(Ha! My main character has a demon possessing her and likes to take over at the least opportune times. Any other moment she's a sweet nine-year-old socially awkward French girl who has been in hiding for the last three years. Who wants her potatoes now.)

[onceiwasaturtle.livejournal.com]

*gives the cute little French girl her potatoes and runs while she's distracted*

:-p

[silens-muse.livejournal.com]

Good plan, my friend, good plan!

[toranse.livejournal.com]

I want to be daring enough to wear the things my character wears. If that counts as a craving.

But I'm too modest.
