I have a writing process. At least, I thought I had a writing process. Here’s what it entailed: Wake up. Because it’s helpful to be awake when writing one’s novel. Write in the mornings. Write only on the computer. Write a first draft all the way through, pantsed and messy and full of continuity errors, and then roll up the sleeves during the revisions. Listen to soundtracks or rain tracks while writing. Stop at around 2pm, because afternoons are no good for me. Write scenes in chronological order. Outlining is largely useless. With the exception of a few brief guiding notes here and there, pantsing is all I need in order to achieve flashes of clarity and logic, and eventually it will all make sense.
