![]() My poor editor seldom gets the book I told him he was getting! Invariably these pretty much get jettisoned as I go along though, as I work new ideas tend to come and go to take their place. Once that is done I often take a few days off from actual writing, and maybe then I’ll start jotting down ideas that will flesh the book out. I like to have at least two chapters on the hard drive, and a sense of feeling and location. Like I say, I’m almost blind when it comes to deep plotting at the beginning. Pen and paper or straight to the keyboard? Once that first round is out the way… look out! I like to skirt around the ropes and size up my opponent before I start swinging. I’m a little bit like a boxer in the first round of a fight. I like to have something physical, something that actually looks like a book, and once I have that I can relax a little.ĭo you have a set routine approaching it? ![]() A lot of coffee! Once the kettle is on (if it is a book I’m working on, the poor thing never gets a minute rest) I normally dive into a first few chapters without giving it too much thought. ![]()
