Different Writing Approaches During My Writing Career

I began writing in 2001 when I was 56 yearsold. At the time I was still working, so I adapted a technique from JuliaCameron’s book, The Artist Way, called morning pages. I would reviewwhere I had left off the day before and write three handwritten pages firstthing every morning. When I got home from work, I’d transcribe these pages intomy computer. This is how I wrote my first four published novels. Then when Iretired in 2007, I wrote directly into the computer every morning that I wasn’tdoing a family activity or book event. This resulted in completed manuscriptsfor approximately thirty books. Then in 2015 when we moved back to SouthernCalifornia from Colorado, I shifted into another phase. Since then, I havewritten a few new manuscripts but have mainly focused on editing my portfolioof completed manuscripts and getting a number of them published.
