Happy Writing,

  1. I can somewhat relate to this. I too often have trouble writing while distracted, and I'm usually distracted because I'm a high school student who is busy with homework or the attempts to avoid doing until the very last minute. I don't have a problem with coming up with ideas or words to write, however, but I can't always bring myself to write them down. I wish I could just sit down and write all day, but I don't seem to have the time or the drive to do it right now. Perhaps after I graduate, it will all be easier for me.
    I also think it's a good thing that you don't try to rush your writing. It often leads to very poor writing if you don't take the time needed to piece it all together in the best way possible.

  2. You make some very good points, Stephanie.

  3. I'm curious Corey whether your agent / editor have put any pressure on you to be developing book number two? And if so, do they support this approach?

  4. Aimee,
    That's a great question. Being so focused on WHERE THINGS COME BACK and getting it ready for bookshelves hasn't allowed for much talk of a second novel. Because it's such a long process (usually 18 months at least from contract to shelves), there isn't any rush in seeing a second book. My agent has, however, read much of the one I'm working on and has discussed it with me. As far as their approval of my approach to writing-it isn't really something that's an least not as far as I can tell. I think they've worked with enough writers to know that we all have our own systems of getting the job done.
    I'm also happy to report that, as of yesterday, I'm back to work (slowly but surely) on novel # 2.
