Sometimes if I'm really blasted, I get an idea, but my hands shake so badly that I can't write/type fast enough. When I'm sober, I'm in my head too much and my crushing depression makes it difficult to write. I take extensive notes and research a lot. (Now with internets, it makes the process easier.) I also get burned out often and have to have several projects running at once (3-5) just to keep from hating the work. I also chain smoke while I write (bad habit, especially being around computers. I burn them out due to that and constantly upgrade yearly because of the accumulated tar) and *have* to have music. If my radio is broken or the internets are shut off again, it'll make writing even one page take days to crank out. (again, due to being in my head too much. music drowns out the crushing self doubt so I can focus on what I love: writing novels!)(less)

43.5 inches XD (from the top of my head to my wrist).
The longest for me has been 10 years. :D (The Agency Saga and the SIGNET series took 10 years to write. I published Chain Reaction back in 2009 and The Most Unlikely Beginnings in 2013.). The shortest was 6 months, though it took 2 years of editing and getting the cover art right. (The Enforcer will be availble next month!)(less)

Reduced hours

Had a heart attack recently and basically I was doing way too much - working insanely long hours, pulling double shifts, stressing about work, not relaxing at all and taking time/care for myself. So now I won't be able to work much anyway. It's sad when you're in your 30s and your heart clocks out.
So now I'm just publishing one book title a year and taking much fewer reading/review/editing projec Read more of this blog post »
