Writing routines
May. 10th, 2010 11:14 amToday, as I'm sitting down to edit, I noticed something. I have a very specific way that I sit down to edit.
If I'm editing during the day, first I shower and dress. Then I fetch something to drink, turn on my music, light my scented candle, and do a quick run through of the internet. Finally I settle down to edit.
If I'm editing in the evening: I change into my jammies, light my scented candle, turn on the music, and settle in to edit.
There's a lot of clothing changes going on. And one constant is having something to drink, and music, but I'm pretty much a creature of habit.
How many other writers do this, I wonder?
