Writing Routines and Processes

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

Because every writer is different and has a different process I thought it would be interesting to see how everyone else works. Please note that there is no right or wrong way it is about whatever works best for you at the moment.

Do you have a writing routine?

How do you get yourself started?
Do you have a favorite time of day to write? Does this help keep your writing sessions more regular?
Do you write everyday?
How long are your typical writing sessions?
Do you have a specific goal like a time limit, a page or word count when you sit down to write?
Do you write in order or can you bounce around in the story?
Do you stick with one project or do you have several projects going at once?
Does your writing routine or process change from project to project?

I write nearly every day, don't need to get myself started, the problem is getting myself to stop. I have many projects going at once. Preferred time: first thing in the morning, definitely. I set goals and meet them, even if the result isn't so good--can be reworked later. For stories I work with an outline but don't bounce around much, although I like to know what my last sentence will be. PS--I like to meet people serious about writing.
