Let’s start off by describing how we write. What’s your writing day like? Do you write all in one sitting or do you write sporadically?

I write romance and it helps reading your blog. I am AJ DeFoe with RWA. Thanks for the information. AJ
I try to write one or two hours in the evening. It can be hard with a 16 year old boy vying for my attention. Tonight, I let him read a bit of what I was writing where an old farmer was talking about windows. I had him talking and was writing “windows” and after he finished his sentence I wrote: But he pronounced it “windas”.
My son stopped reading, pointed at it and said, “That’s boring to the reader.”
“What is?” Seriously, what does he know about writing.
You should just put “windas” in his sentence. Who have you ever read that writes like that.
“Steven King. The last book of his I read he did that.”
“Well, you’re not Steven King.”
I changed it.
Oops! I forgot the quotes around “You should just….” proving, once and for all, I am not Steven King. (but I will be!)
I often sit and do it but I also write sporatically. Depends on what’s going on.
I do most of my writing in the morning before the bitch posse at work has a chance to rip into me. Then sometimes on the weekend, when Mean Maggie has been mean enough and the games aren’t calling my name and no cakes need baked, I get some done here and there.
My favorite way is to threaten to clean the house or write, writing winds hands down.
