And I'm including pictures!
Step one: Get my writing space ready.
Step 2: I need to have my essentials -- my wip playlist and snacks. I have a cup of tea as well.
Step 3: Think about writing by staring at the keyboard. Tapping my fingers is crucial during this. I like to think of it as limbering up.
Step 4: Procrastinate. Today was a Criminal Minds episode. Until Supernatural season 6 comes to the UK it's either Criminal Minds or The Vampire Diaries. How I love my Sky+ recorder.
Step 5: Write.
Sorry no photo. It's hard to write and take a photo and I forgot how to set the timer on the camera. LOL.
Step 6: Have a 'why did my character just do that?' moment.
Step 6: Delete the disaster from step 6.
Step 7: Nap time? No, I'm thinking about my scenes with my eyes closed for visualization.
Okay I was napping.
Step 8: Wake up/brainwave. Repeat step 5. Lather, rinse, repeat.
So that's my handy guide to writing. I missed out the drinking tea, eating cookies and toilet break photos. As much as I <3 you all, I think that would be sharing a little bit too much information. lol. But I hope I made you smile. :)

LOL!!! Are those gummy bears (yummy)?!
This was great Lindsay and you are going to laugh when you see my post today. I swear I didn't read yours first! I guess great minds really do think alike!
LOL. so CUTE!
i could never wrtie in bed. I'd just fall asleep. But those Gummy Bears seem like a genius idea
Hilarious!!! Love the napping pic. Oh, and the face-to-desk pic. Oh, and the gummy bears pic.
Okay. I loved it all... There, I said it :D
LOL! Love step 6 -- but don't delete it, figure out WHY and use it. :-)
Haha, I love this! And yes, WiP playlist and snacks are essential parts of the writing process for me, too :)
Thank you for inviting us into your home. It's lovely. It's nice to see that our writing processes aren't so different (except that I eat dark chocolate at my desktop). Most of it's the same, especially the "why did my character just do that?" moments. LOTS of those lately!
But if gummy bears in bed is the way to crank out an entire book in a month, I'm willing!
love the pictures! :D
Maybe more sugar would stem the desire to nap?
Ha! I'd love to write on my bed, but I think I might look like one of your photos - all the time! I know I'd fall asleep within seconds.
You write in bed??? I'd nap too!
Hee. This is so, so funny. And so true! :)
LOL, I love this post! =) Too funny!
Ahhh... too funny! I loved it! :)
Are those gummy bears? Yummmm
haha! Your writing process seems to be pretty similar to mine. XD
All of this seems familiar. Yet I'm usually on my couch. Lol!
