Writers Time

from Rattled Mind · host William Arthur McDonald

The inspiration for this first story comes from what any writer wishes they had…time. More time to be exact. See, most of us have day jobs and scrounge writing time out of lunch breaks, after the kids are put to bed, or some quiet time on the weekends. I wrote most of my first book while going down the road as a local truck driver. Microphone headset strapped on, dictating to Dragon Naturally speaking. Even if you have an abundance of time in the evenings, there were other distractions, or you’re just simply too damn tired to get your mind in a creative mode. I wrote a large majority of my second book in the evening. After spending a day burning up my creative juices solving technology problems for a local school district. When it came time to edit, I realized it would be better just to rewrite it. I am not one for time travel, multidimensional universes, or other such hocus pocus (I know, and I fancy myself as a Sci-Fi writer?) But the inspiration for this next story came from a profound need to find uninterrupted writing time when my creative juices were at their best.
