Whether it is a form of self-validation, a chance to find kinship amongst the elite, or for practical research, writers seem highly interested in the writing habits of other writers—especially famous ones.
I hand write my fist drafts double spaced in college ruled notebooks in blue ink and do one edit pass in red ink. Once I’m done with several chapters I type into Word and edit as I go.
I love to write in the early morning. If I can get up at 5 AM, that’s the best and write for a couple of hours before my dog wakes me up for a walk. There’s something special about the early morning before the sun comes up, spooky almost. Like the spirits are still around from the night’s dreams.

Couldn't agree more. I've always preferred writing in the morning. It's when I have most of my creative energy. 5 am seems to be the sweet spot.
I can identify with Eudora Welty -- cutting into bits & pieces. That's how I created all my indexes!
I liked hers too. There's something really nice and crafty about it. It's like building a story with your hands. Thanks for reading!
