My
writing day typically starts at 4pm on weekends and 9pm on weekdays. Because
I’ve been travelling since the age of five between Europe and the USA, my body
clock has not adjusted well and made my sleeping patterns a bit irregular. I do
not like mornings and the only times I experience their beauty is when I finish
writing and watch the sunrise. Due to my multi-media approach, the physical act
of writing is only one part of my writing day. Frequently I might just write a
few sentences and then spend the night scouring my database for the right
footage. Once I have everything in place I import into Final Cut Pro and start
the editing process and sometimes add subtitles. On some nights, I am able to
finish within two hours, others I work all night until 5am or 6am before going
to bed. Nights are really the only time I can focus as everything quiets down
and I am not distracted by e-mails and phone calls. It is also when I get my
best ideas. On the weekends when it’s nice I might go to the park around 5pm
and quickly jot some ideas on paper or on my phone, later that night I edit
them and re-edit. During weekdays, I am usually quite busy job hunting
therefore my writing day starts after dinner. I also find inspiration in the
outside environment and so going out and interacting with people is crucial to
the content of my work. The day is spent gathering content and the night is
spent putting it together in the right way.
