Eva’s Byte #462 – Writing Quirks

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

A writer who literally takes years to add another book to my repertoire, I began composing my current WIP in 2021. Perhaps my writing quirk is that of being an obsessive compulsive perfectionist.

The end justifies the means.

A smattering of writing quirks that work/worked for best-selling authors:

Dan Brown swears by inversion therapy for helping him better concentrate on his writing.

Mark Twain, George Orwell, and Truman Capote wrote lying down.

Hemingway, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Lewis Carroll, and Philip Roth wrote standing up.

William Faulkner drank a lot of whiskey while writing.

In the capacity of a writer who sits at a computer while typing on a keyboard, I finished drafting chapter 52 (1372 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. I’ve begun the draft of chapter 53 (207 words thus far).

*May each of us stick to whatever works for accomplishing our creative endeavors.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
