Are you the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>Once upon a time (where \u201ca time\u201d is defined as roughly \u201ctwo months ago\u201d) I wrote in a writing shed. Not like, where you keep lawnmowers \u2013 it was a nice shed with electricity and HVAC and what not. But I have since moved and have no shed, so currently I\u2019m writing in a (*shudder*) room in my house like some kind of criminal.<\/p>\n<p>But! I will have a shed again. Already the sinister plans have begun. Thinking of installing some kind of LASER this time.<\/p>\n<p>As for time \u2013 mornings are good for me, usually.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/pre-writing-rituals\/\">pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Coffee. Breakfast for the family. Feed the dogs. But mostly coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What do you do\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">when the writing isn\u2019t coming easy<\/a>? Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-block-quotes\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Writer\u2019s block is a many-headed beast, and sometimes, it is an illusory beast, too \u2013 you think it\u2019s writer\u2019s block but really it\u2019s depression or anxiety. You can solve writer\u2019s block, proper writer\u2019s block, in all kinds of writerly ways (write through it! fix some first act problems! skip it and come back!) but you cannot address anxiety or depression that way, and in fact, doing so will only make them worse. So it\u2019s vital to know when what you\u2019re dealing with is writing-related, or headspace-related.<\/p>\n<h3>When did your aspirations to become a writer begin? At what age did you start writing in hopes of making a living out of it?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fairly young age. Eighth grade or so. As for making a living, I wrote my first novel when I was 18, and wrote five more that would never see the light of day. None of them made me anything, but all were written with the goal of becoming a novelist. Which has since happened, thanks to the goat I sacrificed. Ha ha, I mean, \u201csince I got good at it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Writers have to be master prioritizers \u2014 juggling all sorts of projects and deadlines at the same time. That\u2019s certainly the case for you. Do you have any methods for managing tasks and time to stay productive and not let overwhelm sneak in?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Only real trick is to do the writing first. Whatever needs to be written, do that part up front, and do all the other crap after.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You have a really unique style as a writer. There\u2019s nothing you write that doesn\u2019t feel like Chuck Wendig wrote it. Was it always that way or do you feel like you\u2019ve become more yourself as you\u2019ve gone on?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2026don\u2019t really know? For those first several books I was mostly struggling to make myself sound like other writers or to fit preconceived styles\/genres. Once I was shut of that notion, I feel like I found my voice \u2013 which is to say, it was there all along, and I stopped trying to escape it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How do you judge a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/productivity-secrets-of-prolific-writers\/\">productive writing day<\/a>\u00a0or an unproductive day? What\u2019s the sign of a good day for you?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s very hard to say, because productivity in writing can be in any direction. Sometimes a day of thinking very hard about the book and solving its mysteries in your head are better than a day beating yourself against the word count. But at the end of the day, too, the only thing that actually matters is when you carve those words out of the nothingness, when you make it so.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/routines\/\">writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s a tall order answer.
