People don’t need to understand or know your writing process. What works for you as a writer doesn’t need to work for anyone else. Just figure out what works best for you. Some people have a certain time of day they write. Then there’s writers like Roald Dahl that have writing “huts.” There’s morning pages and journals. There’s writing prompts and writing activity sheets that help develop the many aspects to a story. There’s writing groups, writing degrees, writing retreats, and a million other things. What’s most important is trying different things.
I find myself more drawn to myths and biblical literature. I also appreciate a well planned writing retreat.
What works for you? What haven’t you done that you’d like to try?
