Ayush51 asked T.N. Suarez:

What is the process like when writing a novel? Does it get frustrating at times?

T.N. Suarez QUESTION #1:
Every writer will undoubtedly give you a different answer. My writing experience is very organic. Most of the time my ideas inopportunely appear in the twilight period right before falling asleep, taunting me until get out of bed and write them down. So I do.

I have a daily routine to write from x time to x time, varying the locations. When the weather cooperates, I will often sit outdoors on my patio or under a tree. If not, I write at the library or local coffee ships for a change of scenery. Music is another significant contributor to my personal writing process. I have differing playlists to mimic the tone of the scene I’m writing.

For a more technical look at writing a novel, I will break it down in three simple steps:

1. Planning. (Every writer needs an organized plan in note form.)
2. Writing. (This is where you transform your plan into magical prose and believable dialogue.)
3. Revising. (Step and repeat until your words sing!)

QUESTION #2:
And yes, it does get frustrating at times. The most challenging part of the process is revising, revising, and REVISING!

Thank you for your questions. Happy reading!
