Nancy: What is your writing routine like?

Kristina Knight: I've become good at writing in 15-30 minutes stretches of time. I read over the last scene I wrote to make sure everything is fresh in my mind, and then take off on whatever comes next. Website 

Valerie Twombly: I take my laptop to work and write on my lunch and breaks. I have a word count I need to reach each day and if I don’t make that, then I write in the evenings. Website  

Emma Leigh Reed: I write daily. I allot a 4-6 hour window of writing time and just sit down and write. I don’t spend time rereading what was written yesterday, I just sit and write to get the 1^st draft out and then go back to edit. Web  Facebook  Twitter Amazon
