This week’s features , author of ASA JAMES.
✍🏼 What’s your writing schedule like?
I write every morning while my brain is most fresh, usually for an hour, but some days more and some days less. Usually between 8 a.m and 9 a.m.
✍🏼 Where do you write?
I write in the chair in the picture, where I draft and devise by hand (see stacks of full notebooks) but then type into the laptop that lives there.
✍🏼 Do you have any sacred writing rituals, or rituals that at least help you write later on?
I can only think with a pen in my hand, so I do all my creative work in a notebook and then write out the first draft by hand.
✍🏼 Beverage(s) of choice. Go!
Black tea, Keemum, or Congou.
✍🏼 Where do you find inspiration in the day-to-day?
I’m inspired by having my butt in the chair. Said another way, it’s the discipline of being there, not waiting for a muse to inspire me. Some days are good for writing, some bad, but either way I’m in the same place, making progress.
