One of the awesome things about being a writer is that I can research nearly anything - tea? Bubblegum? Ants? Neurology? Chocolate? Textile production? It doesn't matter. It's all productive work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the best parts of being a writer means that researching all kinds of cool stuff actually counts as work!
The best way for me to procrastinate as a writer is research.
My writing process is a mix of research, personal experiences, washing the dishes, raising kids while thinking - then writing.
Writing is definitely something that interests me a lot.
To do the writing, I have to have time to do research.
I'd love to maybe try writing. I don't know if I'd publish anything, but as a hobby, it's really nice. I bought a typewriter, and I really like to write on the typewriter sometimes. It's a fun little hobby.
My writing process hasn't changed - it's is the same whether I'm working on a Y.A. novel or, as now, a new novel for adults. A lot of reading, a lot of research if the subject warrants it, a lot of sticky notes and scraps of paper - and get to work.
Writing is a creatively rewarding occupation but for me very time consuming.
I am not much of a researcher as a novelist; I write mainly from experience.
I like to do the research of history and the creativity of writing fiction. I am creating this thing which I think is twice as difficult as writing either history or fiction.
