This is a hard question and one I get asked all the time, now that I’m a published author. Truth is, it varies. While I like to write in the morning, I often write on and off all day. And on top of that, I’m a bit of a project writer. When I’m feeling the flow, I’ll write all day, and all night and then write the same the next day, until the project is done. Of course, that’s the first draft – definitely the easiest for me. Then comes the editing…UGH!

I generally write later in the day only because my mornings are spent getting ready for work and then going to work, since my day job isn’t actually writing. So, it’s evenings most of the time. On weekends, as well, I generally don’t do much writing earlier in the day as I’m getting other things done. I write on a laptop. The only time I write with a pad of paper is if I’m out somewhere and don’t have my laptop and suddenly have the urge to write something. My biggest struggle is finding the time and then avoiding the distractions to make a serious dent in the things I want to write.

I work with a white legal pad and a blue, medium point pen. Although sometimes the black, fine point pen calls to me. Only after I’ve made serious headway with the legal tablet do I move to the PC. I really hate to word process…even on my tablet.

Thank you, Jane, for the shout out! It’s always nice to know that someone appreciates my writing. As for process, I wish I could say that I have a routine with regard to writing. However, I do not. I write whenever I can fit it in to life with two kids and a dearth of down time.
