Reply to comment by A_Human_Rambler in I’m Fran Hawthorne: I used to write award-winning nonfiction about consumer activism, the financial world, and the drug industry, but now I’m having much more fun writing novels. AMA about writing by franhawthorne

Some people are so well-disciplined that they're able to avoid checking email, etc. for a pre-determined period of time while they write. Other people use exterior, physical means to stay focused; they'll rent a cubicle somewhere outside their home, with no WiFi, no TV, no one to talk to...I'm somewhere in-between. Most days, I interrupt my work too much to check email, Instagram etc (on the theory that that's work, too, LOL). But honestly, if I'm really going on a scene, I don't get up for anything. I just wish that happened more often.

I hope this helps. Thanks for joining my AMA.
