About This Book

This work gathers observations and anecdotes about how writers produce their work, surveying eccentric habits, speeds of composition, and the effects of time and place on creative output. It contrasts research by travel, library study, and solitary reflection, and records favorite rituals, aids to inspiration, collaborations, anonymity, and systematic approaches to long fiction. Numerous historical examples and personal reminiscences illustrate practices from hurried drafting to meticulous polishing, while later chapters address the physical and mental regimen and practical tips that sustain literary productivity.
