Groonkly Bit: Never Let Your Fingers Get Cold
From the current Warren Ellis interrogation thread on Whitechapel, I learn that I am not alone in these practices.
@oldhat: 1. I’ve often found it amazing how you’re able to write so many things in a day and can still come online and torment/love us. Do you have a schedule for that kind of thing, and if so can you run some of it by us? Just wondering how you do your amazing time management.
@warrenellis: It’s all on instinct, but mostly the other stuff is done during natural pauses in the work, where I can’t quite see how to get to the next bit yet, but don’t want to leave the keyboard and let my fingers get cold. So I flick up Whitechapel, Feed Demon or the Post2Blog window, just to keep typing, until the story unsticks itself and I can bring the manuscript back up…
