Now that my work schedule has become less predictable, I have to fit my writing in where I can, but I haven’t forgotten the importance of sitting down and putting in the hours. Developing that kind of discipline transformed my writing. When you have the time to write, writing is what you do-you don’t waste that. How would you describe your creative process?Ī few years ago, I had the opportunity to write full-time, which meant I had the opportunity to establish my writing habits, or what a lot of writers call “butt-in-the-chair time.” It isn’t necessarily about routine, but it is about the discipline of the writing. It makes me feel like part of a bigger artistic picture.Ģ. I love interacting with other work like that. I mostly mean the stories I overhear people telling in coffee shops, the stories I hear in songs, the stories beyond the frame of a photograph, the stories I think *aren’t* getting told in films.
