I send the kids to school, grab a soda, turn on a movie, and pick up the laptop.
Do you have a favorite time of day to write? Does this help keep your writing sessions more regular?
During school hours. It makes life much simpler when the kids are in school, and I can write. Writing on the weekends is virtually impossible.
Do you write everyday?
I try to. Life has a habit of stopping me though.
How long are your typical writing sessions?
Usually I work for 30 minutes, then get up and stretch. If I don't, my body lets me know how bad of an idea that is.
Do you have a specific goal like a time limit, a page or word count when you sit down to write?
Normally, I just want to get one scene done. Just one. Get a scene done, then move on from there.
Do you write in order or can you bounce around in the story?
In order. Period. I bounce too much, and my brain gets caught up in the bounce, and doesn't want to go back and fill in the blanks.
Do you stick with one project or do you have several projects going at once?
Usually I have a major project, and several minor ones that can be picked up and put down as wanted/needed.
That's the theory anyway. Sometimes, they eat me alive, and the main project gets set aside. Does your writing routine or process change from project to project?
