How do you write?

March 6, 2008

So how do you write?  I mean this literally - do you write at a keyboard, pecking away at your stories in the dead of night?  Or are you a cafe writer, pen and journal in hand?  Or are you a papyrus and peacock-quill sort of chap?

I ask because for the new book I am trying something new, myself.  I’ve always been glued to my laptop  and in some ways I think I am addicted to the glow of the computer screen.  So to shake things up, I’m trying the new book longhand.  I know several writers who work this way and they swear by it.

Plus, I can always use the practice in penmanship.  My handwriting has a palsy-like quality to it . . .

So my question is - How do you write?

The New(est) Book?

January 30, 2008

I’ve got this thing about working on two projects at once.  Here I am busily typing away on the revisions for Powerless, and yet there is this other nagging little book tugging on my sleeve . . .

The little fella used to just be an idea-for-book.  Cute.  Fun to look at, but still just an idea.

Well, it looks like he’s just sprung up into full blown book-in-progress status.

Working title:  The Hundred Year-Old Book Club
