I write five pages a day. If you would read five pages a day, we'd stay right even.

So I thought I should write five pages a day. And that's what I did. Eventually I had a book.

I don't have many hours in a day, as I'm essentially a single parent. But fortunately, I'm a really fast writer. My goal is usually 10 pages a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but by the end of the week, I aim for at least 10,000 words.

I write best in the morning, and I can only write for about half a day, that's about it.

I can only write about two or three pages of fiction a day.

When I start a book, I write a minimum of five pages every day, except weekends. If I'm going on a ski trip, I take my computer with me, get up at six, do my five pages, and then go skiing.

I write in the mornings or afternoons - I'm not a night owl and can write for only four or five hours maximum.

Well, I'm a slow writer. For me, a good day is a page, maybe a page and a half. I'd love to be more efficient, but I am not.

My writing day has grown shorter as I've aged, although it seems to produce the same number of pages.
