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.
