Smashwords: What is your writing process?
For both my fiction and non-fiction I tend to
compose at the keyboard. I do no outlining and seldom work on plot lines
ahead of time. Also, my first draft is usually also my final draft with
only minor changes. During the day, I almost always have a cup of
coffee on hand as I write. At night, it may be tea, diet Coke or Pepsi
or a glass of wine. Less often, when writing late into the morning,
especially after a particularly good or bad day, the glass of wine may
be replaced by a snifter of brandy or an Absolut vodka martini with
olives. (No more than 2 drinks a day on average as a rule, though.) I
like to work in significant blocks of time without interruption other
than fetching coffee or pestering my wife during very brief breaks until
she yells at me and I slink back to work.
