You’ve confessed on your blog that you can write scores of pages in a day when you’re on a roll. Is this plotting plus writing? How do you work, in a nuts-and-bolts fashion? Do you sit and plot for weeks on end and then suddenly hammer out a bunch of text?
Writing is a funny thing. In the last month, I’ve probably written only fifty or sixty pages. The month before that, I wrote five hundred. For me, I do spend a lot of time planning, thinking, and working things out.
However, it’s not always a rushing river of words for me. Most of the time, it’s ten pages a day, day after day. There are periods of two or three pages a day. There are periods of forty or fifty pages a day. It all depends on the project. Right now, I’m working on the first of what will be a lengthy series, and so it’s slow going for me because of the weight of thought that has to go into foreshadowing and worldbuilding.
