Cost of Creating

By Kirsty Logan • Apr 27th, 2010 • Category: Advice, On Writing, Writing Routines

Time is a hard-won tool, but once a writer earns some time they can spend it when they please. Some writers are larks, arriving at their desks before dawn; some are owls and can only work when everyone else is in bed. Some prefer to write just after the lunch rush at their favourite coffee shop. Writers can work at midday or at midnight; at dawn or dusk or only between 3pm and 6pm. Time, once earned, is flexible.

Within you’ll find a link to a YouTube video (embedding is not allowed) of a roundtable discussion of the title topic that was moderated by David Shields and features the participation of Barbara Browning, Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky), John Cameron Mitchell, Rick Moody and Fred Tomaselli.
