I started Sarah Rees Brennan's LONG LIVE EVIL last month as a buddy read with @dhstrange.bsky.social then proceeded to have like 3 weeks of no reading time 😅
But I finally finished it and it was fun! Lots of excellent foreshadowing and breadcrumb trails to follow. Can't wait for the sequel!! 💙📚

A9. To be honest, I should incorporate more daily exercise in my life in general. But certainly breaks from the computer are necessary, even if they’re short. #TWSOchat
Q9. A lot of writers also incorporate some form of exercise into their writing day, going for a run, walk or swim. Is this something that works for you? Often physical stamina helps with mental stamina so that the body can do long periods of a sustained activity without breaking focus. #TWSOchat

A8. Yes! This is pretty much the only way I write (minus Thai food). #TWSOchat
Q8. The writer Tomi Adeyemi talks about using timers to write for 20 minutes straight and then timers for taking 5 or 10 minute breaks. She also is a big Thai food lover and uses that as a reward at the end of a late night writing. Have you ever tried this method for concentrated sessions? #TWSOchat

A7. I think consistency is wise, whether I practice what I preach or not is another question. 😂 #TWSOchat
Q7. Do you think that consistency is important in writing or are you more of a spontaneous type of writer? #TWSOchat

A6. Not really! But I do enjoy a tea while writing. 🫖 #TWSOchat
Q6. Do you have a favourite food or drink routine that you follow before you write? Most times I will make an iced coffee with blueberries and oatmilk or an iced strawberry matcha latte with oatmilk and a slice of toast with really good jam to start off my writing day on the weekends. #TWSOchat

A5. I mostly write on a keyboard, and usually in sprints of 30 min or less with 5-10 min breaks between. I really only write by hand if I’m really stuck on something. #TWSOchat
Q5. Do you have a writing routine that examines your writing process and technology? Do you have scheduled breaks if you are mostly a keyboard writer? Do you take time away to write in a notebook or do you avoid technology as much as possible when writing? #TWSOchat

A4. Ummm, no? I’m a wild pantser, and when it’s done and I’m in revisions, I’ll go back and reassess each element as part of the whole. #TWSOchat
Q4. Do you set aside time to work on different aspects of your novel by dividing it up into sections? For example, do you work on character development by taking long periods of time to embody that character's experience by doing things that they might physically do or think about/study? #TWSOchat

A1. I definitely write at night and leave it be until the next day. I can’t trust my critical skills right after writing. #TWSOchat
Q3. cont'd Maya Angelou writes in the morning, goes shopping for dinner ingredients, cooks for herself and guests and then reads what she wrote that morning. Have you formulated some kind of writing schedule for yourself that you use on a daily or weekly basis? #TWSOchat
