Nancy Springer
I'm dealing with it right now by answering this question for something to do because my mind has not granted me a story to write. My creative brain is tired and/or sulking and, as with so many human ailments, there's no cure except Tincture of Time. Waiting for yourself to catch up with yourself is an integral part of the writing process. Even between scenes in a novel I must wait for the well to refill.

Nancy Springer:
I wish I had dozens more to read. I'm interested in how long it takes you to get a good first draft done -- and if you find yourself having to do a lot or a little rewriting? Also, did the first in the series take longer to write than the subsequent books? Did any of the books "write themselves" much more quickly or more slowly than the others?
