Writing Process
Sep. 17th, 2010 01:01 pmI've been struggling a lot with the actual process of getting words-on-the-page for the past month or so. (It's been terrible.)
Today I had a good chat about it with my thesis adviser, where she talked about her writing process when she was writing full-time.
She described spending her morning review, re-reading, and revising her previous work, some time going over her notes and plans to make sure she had all the evidence she needed for her arguments at her fingertips, and then spending basically the last two or so hours of the day doing the actual typing.
I think this could be helpful to me, but I'm curious about other people's getting words on the page methods.
