“I use a computer, but before I begin each new book I keep a notebook. I write down everything that comes to mind during that period before I actually begin. It might take months or weeks. That notebook is my security blanket so that I never have to face a blank screen (or blank page). But I print out often and my best ideas usually come with a pencil in my hand.” WritingMindBookIdeasUseHandsMightFacesWeekSecurityMonthsPeriodsComputerPagesScreensPrintBlankPencilsBlanketNotebookNew BooksBlank Pages Author:Judy Blume
“I start my process hand written, and then I dump it in. It's like you're getting a second draft 'cause when I put it in the computer, I fix it and change stuff. That's my process.

They were like, "Oh, we hand write, and then we dump it all in." I was like, "Great! There's no more blank pages."” WritingBookIdeasHandsCausesStuffProcessWrittenAdviceLike YouComputerPagesStartingHillsBlankWriting A BookDumpBlank PagesGaimanStarting To Write Author:Gerard Way
