Working Methods

Almost There

I’m pretty sure I’ll be up to my third draft soon, and then I’ll have to figure out how things work around here (meaning the local publishing industry). I say that because this draft appears to be good enough to see the light of day. I probably won’t be worrying about getting a big deal or anything, especially since this is a book about Singapore and I suppose we’ll start here.

Long Days

And this is how I’ve been working: I wake up at about 9am, check some news, head to the shower, get breakfast, and maybe play a bit of Half-Life 2.  By the time I stop, it’s 11am and I get cracking. I work all the way up to lunch, which is a 15-minute break or so, and then I’m back again at it until a little past 5. Then I have some tea, shower again, and it’ll probably be about 6pm. Depending on my mood, I’ll either get back to work or I’ll play a up to dinner, which is just before 8pm. I start work again at 9pm, and work up to 1am. Then I hit the sheets and it’s the same routine the next day.

It’s actually quite similar to how I work when I’m writing, except maybe my hours are slightly shorter and my breaks slightly longer.

2.7!

Much thanks to the Web Walrus for pushing this up to 2.7.

I found this The Year In Reading article on B&N fairly interesting. [via Barnes & Noble]
