I started writing at 6, picked up a typewriter at the local carboot sale. The first story I wrote was called Roger the Fox haha :) I wrote right up to leaving school, with my first novel at 170k. Took a couple of years break while I figured out life and then went back to it, college and then film school.

Actually, I prefer not to listen to music, it's distracting. I can have the TV on, if the other half is home. But if it's a show I usually watch I'm also distracted. Other things I just zone out on.

Working with TeamSecretKing on several projects, I manage 4 writers and then my own work. For me, personally I'm working on book 2, and if the muse takes me, some of the other stories in the series.

I have to admit, I've only ever struggled once, when life was seriously ugly. How did I deal with it, I blogged, and I wrote daily to get past it.
