I saw that film and knew anything was possible. But the real hardwiring of my concept of writing goes back further. The older I get, the more I understand what a primal influence Rod Serling had on me. Morning still remains the best time for me. I write my first drafts in longhand, then transcribe them on the computer, doing a little editing along the way, then print out a hard copy and scrawl all over it.
Silence is the choice for first drafts.
But for working on the computer I sometimes lean on Mozart. Usually people actively engaged in figuring out how to be human beings. I like to spend time with characters who are working on life's essay questions. I seem to be moving away from recognizable genres. I will always have a passion for the detective story as defined by Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald.
