I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it's only five minutes, and write three sentences.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And sometimes I sit down to write, because that is what I like to do more and more in the future.
The most common misperception about me is that I write fast. I just write often. Every hour that I can.
I try to write in the mornings, as soon as I'm up and caffeinated, and to stay in the chair as long as I can be productive.
I just hate sitting and writing - I had to do that in school. Plus, I have terrible handwriting.
I write slowly and get distracted a lot.
Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
There are days when I'll write for 15 minutes and have to give up and move around, and I'll write another paragraph and give up again. On other days I get intensely - focused on the process, sit down at 8 A.M. and won't get up until 8 P.M.
My writing regimen is not very regimented. I tend to be a binge writer, working sometimes in the morning and sometimes all night. When I get going I like to hunch over the keyboard until I feel totally played out.
I just sit at a typewriter and curse a bit.
