What is your writing routine?

by Debbie Ellen

What do you usually do when you sit down to write?

Do you have tea? Biscuits? The TV on/muted? The radio on?

Do you start by re-reading what you last wrote?

Do you head to your plan first or do you just pick up from where you left off?

This is purely for my interest ^_^

Have to have one fully charged battery on laptop, cup of coffee, bottle of water and one packet of cigarettes. Might sneak in a choccy biscuit or two ;)

I like to write with no distractions, but sometimes I listen to classical music. I hope that the genius of composers rubs off on me.

I sit in an armchair with my laptop. I write and edit using Microsoft Word.

In the morning, I have a tea and some nibbles. In the evenings, I usually have a can of Old Speckled Hen (Ale)
