A day in the life of a writer
Sep. 26th, 2007 02:01 pmOkay, I lied. I don't get entire days to write, I get brief periods of time sandwiched around the day job and an attempt to have a life. But for those who are curious about my writing process, here goes.
- Power-up computer
- Find pages printed out yesterday with revision notes
- Open Microsoft Word file; launch browser, iTunes, Freecell
- Check e-mail
- Check LJ friendslist
- Play a couple of games of Freecell
- Update previous day's work by making changes based on revision notes
- More Freecell. Treat yourself to a game of socks. Mmmm, socks
- Begin writing new material, get one or two paragraphs in
- Time for more Freecell. Or another game of socks
- Write a bigger chunk, usually at least 2 pages
- Freecell while stuck
- Resume writing. Repeat Freecell/Write sequence until finished scene or achieved daily word goal.
- Print out pages just written
- Celebrate with final game of Freecell and more web-surfing
- Close all applications, power down computer, resume daily life
