The Cabin That Made Writing Routine
- Anna describes her garden cabin as a private, curved wooden workspace that feels like a Swedish sauna.
- She says having a dedicated shed allowed her to leave her work visible and return to it each morning, which she found extraordinary.
Write Freely, Structure Later
- Don’t plan your first draft; write unplanned to keep it alive and allow surprising discoveries.
- Use post-its and structural books after the first draft to find and repair the story's shape.
Warm Up By Revisiting Yesterday’s Draft
- Start each session by opening yesterday’s draft and read the last paragraph to warm up.
- Mark sticky spots with bold CAPS like COME BACK TO THIS and keep moving rather than perfecting immediately.
