Ruta Sepetys:
When writing, do you have a process that you follow and would that process change if you were experiencing writers block?
Ruta Sepetys
Hi Paula! For me, the writing process involves:
• carefully researching the topic
• interviewing witnesses or survivors
• spending time thinking about the characters and story
• spending hours writing and achieving a state of creative flow
• revising, revising, and revising some more
I haven't ever been in a writing "slump" but there are times when I am so exhausted from traveling and touring that my mind is not fresh enough to write or create. When that happens I have to unplug, rest, and recharge.
Thank you so much for asking!
