I write in the middle of boring work meetings, as a way to stay awake.
How do you go about writing your books?
I plop myself down, take a sip of wine, start a classical music playlist, strike a pose and hit the keyboard as if it is a piano. (Seriously, it's either that or I eat chocolate and write)
I don't think when I write so my works could get a bit messy.
Shadowfang I understand how you feel. I have a clear outline for the major events in both my books, yet I find it hard to write them down. That's why the second volume of my ongoing story ended up three times the size it should've been, because the details kept coming as I typed.
lol! No old school pen and paper?

Veronica8 I used to write in a notebook with pencil when I was a kid, and there is one glaring disadvantage wtih old school tools.
You can't edit. Yes, you can erase and correct typos, but if you want to delete an entire sentence or add in a new sentence or even a new paragraph (or a few), it is extemely difficult. There is no copy/cut and paste function. You can't make a copy of your work or upload it onto the Internet.
yaoyueyi Google Documents lag a lot for me. Especially since my stories go up to hundreds or even over a thousand pages. When my Japanese friend and I edited a Japanese version of my light novel, the lag was so bad it took almost 10 minutes for the whole document to load.
