I kind of write from a place of fear, which may not be the best way to do it. I always want to try to bring something fresh to every book. It's getting harder instead of easier...
...SEP: I do. I write pretty much a 9 to 5 day, Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday, I try to get a couple hours in each day, just so that I don't lose the flow, and have to have a cold start...
