But seriously, 700 words are a lot of words. And anyway, I've learned that 700 words are about all I'm good for on any given day, and if I write more than that I usually end up getting rid of most of it later. So I try not to look at FACEBOOK when I'm writing. I know this because writers like to tell you about how many words they've written on FACEBOOK. I know there are lots of writers out there who can write way more than that. I try to write 700 words a day - about three pages. Sometimes that means I have to get up really early. What's your writing day like? Do you stick to a routine? I went to law school, which I know doesn't count as a job, but hey, that was a lot of work. I also worked for FRONTLINE on PBS and Peter Jennings at ABC. I've waited tables, worked with adolescents in foster care, read the slush pile at a publishing house, and fact checked for a movie magazine. And I really like to walk near the Golden Gate Bridge. What are you doing when you aren't writing? Except for the summers where I go back to Los Angeles in search of the sun. I'm from Los Angeles, but now I live in San Francisco. But wouldn't that be easier than answering a whole bunch of FAQs?
