Writing habits. Hmm... let me think.

When I write I always turn off my Internet to stop me getting distracted, and I have to have absolute silence when I'm writing or I can't come up with ideas. Another habit of mine is that I write on book-sized document pages in Word (rather than A4) so that it looks as though I've written a lot in a short space of time.

Where fonts are concerned I'm weird. Depending on the genre I use different fonts - sans serif for sci-fi and book-style font for fantasy. Also, I find I can overcome writer's block simply through a change of fonts, which is kind of strange.

I also tend to write from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed, if I'm on a roll. I get absorbed in my fantasy world and it's very difficult for me to break out of it. :D
Live well. Learn lots. Question everything.



For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
