Writing methods

For anyone, like me, endlessly and no doubt stupidly fascinated by how writers go about their work, check out this wonderful article in The Wall Street Journal. My favourites? John Wray took a laptop onto New York subways, sometime for six hours a day. Nicholson Baker writes ‘in a dreamlike state’ from 4 AM to 6 AM (in a dark room, on a laptop with black screen and grey type!) before hitting the sack again until 8:30, when he rises again to edit.
