Writing on the road
Haven’t been able to get to my laptop much during these last nine days of traveling, but because I appear to have the wake-up-early gene that my husband is lacking, I’ve had plenty of time over coffee to write in longhand. On paper. The old-fashioned way… and the way that, if I remember right, was very successful when I was putting together my novel. Boy, do you get some funny looks at Denny’s or the Waffle House when you sit and scribble for an hour or sometimes two…
Haven’t been able to get into a real routine, as our schedule’s been so haywire, but when I was writing “This Little Pig,” I would write ten to fifteen pages in longhand on one day, get up the next morning and process them into the computer, with minor edits along the way, which would get my brains kickstarted for the next longhand session. Put together 55,000 words in about 30 days that way, so it obviously works for me.
So, I got a chapter of “Finally the Weight is Over” written, just haven’t processed it yet. So what am doing on here? Time to get back to the book!
