You Can Learn a Lot from Other Writers
Back in October I attended a conference at the HQ of Writers’ Digest. I met Chuck Sambuchino – a very cool guy. Good speaker, easy to look at, but most important, his advice is practical and smart. I read his blog regularly. Today’s post is by a guest, a new writer (like you!) who shares what works for her. You can read about it here. The only place I differ from Jessica is that I loved reading about Stephen King’s desk in his book “On Writing.” In fact, I love asking authors where they work, what their “office” – if they have one – looks like, when they work (morning, evening, on the freeway? Hope not!), how they motivate themselves, how they divide their time between writing and everything else, like family, day job, and life in general. In future posts, I’ll interview authors and tell you about it.
