My writing routine



I am currently working on my second romance. The story is quiet upsetting, there are a lot of sad feelings and sorrow in the first 100 pages. It's by far the most personal story I ever wrote (Although this is my second published book I have already written lots of other stuff including theatre plays).

My writing routine is always the same; before I start to pray I close my eyes and ask for inspiration and then the writing flows...I don't stop writing for one, two or even three hours. It feels like if I am watching a movie in my thoughts and typing everything down. I feel each characters emotions (which can be very upsetting) and I know when to stop...it's like if something tells me; "This is it for today". I then listen to some music to shake the sorrow off and later on in the night I usually dream with the sequence from where I stopped writing.

This second romance has been an intense journey and I cannot wait to share the story with everyone.


PS: Music takes us away to different dimensions and places. For my first book I had a play list which had from Bob Marley to "Somewhere over the rainbow". It's not different with this second book. Currently in my play list are; Tina Turner, Amy Macdonald, Neil Yong, Billy Dean and many others...
