After around 3pm I’m usually reading, researching, answering emails – that sort of thing. I carry a notebook to write down ideas, though I find the best ideas and fixes always come to me in the bath at the time when it’s least convenient to note them down.(less)

Other times I’ll change a character’s name during the writing, because as a character develops their names no longer fits. (less)

What are you currently working on?
Paula Hawkins
I have some ideas, but nothing concrete yet. There are a couple of characters who Ive been considering for a while: I know their backstories and how they meet, but Im not sure where I want to take them yet.

Quotes by Paula Hawkins

“Hollowness: that I understand. I'm starting to believe that there isn't anything you can do to fix it. That's what I've taken from the therapy sessions: the holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mold yourself through the gaps”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
