He called out for help, but all the angels had departed; a face loomed over him, a voice saying “Coo coo coo”, and with a sinking feeling he knew that his recent respite in Heaven was over. (less)

I've had long periods when other things took precedence, when my attention was so taken by living life that I wasn't interested in writing about it. I am a "gestalt" writer. I don't set a schedule for myself, as in: "I will write three hours each day, or so-many words." When I am "on", I can go for months at 8-10 hours a day. It's a passion, not a job. I don't create outlines. Initially, I don't write in a straight-line. I create scenes as they come to me, and then I let them flow into each other--so I may write chapters in the middle before completing the beginning, and may do a series of endings as I feel it, which helps me keep it all moving toward that point. In "Born in the 20th Century" I had an idea of the final scene, however it didn't write itself until most of the book was complete, in the last weeks of the final edit. I am, however, a perfectionist and will go through chapters dozens of times to pick up errors or try to say something better. (less)
