Being a new author, so to speak, I have tried to find out how other people write and discovered that people have various different methods. Some don’t start to write till they have the whole story mapped out in their head. Others write down ideas for a story as they occur inside their head but may not come back and actually write the story for some time, sometimes years. And then the story idea might be changed out of all recognition by other factors and or idea that have occurred to the author in the meantime.

The conclusion I have reached is that I am a very messy writer. I tend to write when a scene comes into my head.  I do methodically edit at least one Word page of previously written material every day (often more than one page). New writing, being more of a inspirational process means I will often write a few thousand words in one story this week and then a few thousand words in some other story next week because something has caught my imagination for that work.

Bear in mind that I work 6 days a week as a ride-share driver for Uber and also do a bit of graphic design work as well with a total work week of +60 hours a week so I get tired easily and often go whole weeks without writing much at all.

That being said, I am about to start editing Arturo’s 2nd book, “Begin Again” which I hope to get out before the end of June but that is a date subject to change without notice!
