By the end of it, of course, the 4:30 a.m. Writing is very lonely and isolated, and after all that time in my closet (see above), I’m actually really glad to be out in the world and able to talk to people.
What's your favourite part of the publishing process?Ī lot of writers hate having to go on book tour. Generally, I go from start to finish, and I have an outline that I try to keep as a map (and usually end up veering wildly off course). I reconnected with an old flame, and wanted to write about that.ĭo you write from beginning to end or plot the storyline and build on that? Of course, sometimes it’s more personal: I have a sister, and I wanted to write about that relationship. I can see a picture, and think, What’s the story here? Who are these people? And that becomes the impetus for a novel. I might read a newspaper story, or see a photograph of, say, a beautifully-dressed white woman standing on her meticulously manicured lawn in the Hamptons, while, behind her, a uniformed black nurse holds the infant that a surrogate carried. From six to nine, it’s dinner/bath/TV/stories with the girls, and then I’ll read for an hour or two before bed. My closet’s turned into an office/library/clothing storage facility, and I write on my laptop on what was meant to be the vanity.

I have a ridiculous closet – basically, the Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City: The Movie closet…except, insofar as I do not have the Carrie Bradshaw body, I do not have the Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe. Writing typically commences between 11 and noon, and I go until four or five, when the kids come home. I try to exercise in the mornings – if I don’t do it first thing, it’s easy to procrastinate, and I always feel so much better if I’d done something, whether it’s yoga or a barre class or a bike ride. Kid Number Two doesn’t go out the door until 7:45, so sometimes I go back to bed and read. I get up at around 6:30 to get Kid Number one on the bus. What does a usual writing day for you look like?
