My Writing Process

  Breathe deeply and...

One of our editors was recently lucky enough to slowly roast on a bouncy, mechanical floor thisclose to nearly 900 other Portlanders for a reading (of the third chapter of his new book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane) and subsequent Q&A by Neil Gaiman.  One of the questions asked of him was, "Can you tell us your writing process in three words?"  He replied, "Glare.  Drink tea."

This weekend, we're asking for you to sum up your own process with just three little words.  Give us dry wit, pathos or otherwise.  And remember, we like your blood on the page.  Put it there.

This weekend we were to discuss our writing process in three words.  Harder than it looks! I didn't know that I have a 'process', at least not a consistent one.  It's one of those things that I don't really think about, I just do it.  I can't imagine many writers who would sit around thinking about how they do what they do; they spend most of their time thinking about other aspects of the writing process--the meat, not the cooking of it, as it were.  So there it is.  It's not bloody, but it gets the job done.
