1. How often do you write?
I try to put words to paper every day, but even when I can’t, I write in my head. I have notes all over the house and in my car so I don’t forget ideas.
2. Do you think it’s important to your craft to write as much as you can, and as often as you can?
Writing is like exercising a muscle. If you don’t use it, you lose the flow. If I haven’t had a chance to sit down for a few days, it’s that much harder to get back to it. Sometimes, life has other plans, but I do write as often and as much as I possibly can.
3. What is your opinion on the saying “if you don’t write every day, you’re not a writer?
I think that anyone who sits in judgment should be spending their time working on their own stuff and not on mine.
Let’s see what Jo Richardson has to say. I am always interested in another writer’s process. How about you?

And don’t forget those comments.
Work those writer muscles! 😉
I agree about writers giving other writers a break. Focus o your own career and you’ll be better off1
I love the reference to exercising. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told my children this very thing, use it or lose it 🙂 Great answers!!!
Thanks. Will make the rounds tomorrow.
I wonder if those with judgement just talk about their writing and never actually write?
Leslie, nice exercise analogy. As far as the notes all over thing, I keep Evernote on my smart phone open and am constantly adding stuff to it. God help me if I ever lose the phone.
I need to do what Gemma does and put Evernote on my smart phone because I get stacks of notes I then transfer to my writing Bible.
The comparison to a muscle is spot on! Got to use it or lose the desire to make it happen.
I have notes everywhere too 😀 I never want to forget even the slightest idea. Great answers!
Thanks.
