Some write with a partner, but most of us work alone.
Some writers need company when they work--a coffee shop, a cat, a dog, a roomful of other writers. I need a quiet room, alone. A writer recently told me he works in a bare office with nothing but his notes. No radio, no tv, no distractions of any sort. "Otherwise," he said. "I'd get nothing done!"
To follow, a few notes about the process, some writers who get me back on track, and some inspiring websites by writers and others:
Why writers are fancy. Writing a novel. What to do about writer's block.
I go back and read these books again and again for inspiration. There are smaller pieces here, too, a play, a short story or two. It's good to have a list of your favorites--a cache for tough days.
It's easy to get sucked into the internet maw. Here are few nice places to visit, just to be reminded of what other people are doing with themselves.
