As for the zone, I always find the zone immediately after I am sure I will never ever find the zone again because it has left me for some other, better writer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to direct what I feel is interesting - not what is supposed to be my zone.
'Your Erroneous Zones' was the book that went over the top simply because I believed in it so much.
I'm always one time zone behind myself.
The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears.
In every novel, I write about something - a place, an experience, an emotion - with which I'm intimately familiar, but it's also crucial to me that I take on challenges. If write only inside my comfort zone, I'll suffocate.
I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.
That's the best thing about writing, when you're in that zone, you're porous, ready to absorb the solution.
I've been fortunate in that I've been forced to move from zone to zone.
I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me.
You lose your habitual behavior, which allowed you to sort of zone out. You have to be here, you have to be now, you have to be present.
