busy
difrancis put this meme on her blog.How do you do it? By this I mean a bit about your process. Do you work off of a "pages per day" kind of deal--with a bare minimum of what you need to do for the day to be accomplished? A word count? Plot?
part two of the question formatting -- what does yours look like? When you're working on a work-in-progress. Times new roman? double space? single?
1) There are two options. Option A: I pick something from the stack of ongoing projects and work on it, taking reasonable breaks. I may have a specific project planned for a specific day, but usually not a word count or page count. I try to finish things before the deadline becomes an oppressive burden. Option B: A story leaps on my unsuspecting consciousness like a couger pouncing on a mountain goat. I resurface into this world when my partner knocks on the door and asks where supper is.
2) I write in MS Word using Arial 12 pt type, double spaced, double justified, because that is what I can read. Small type, serif type, and ragged margins are hard on my eyes. I try to be careful about this stuff because I spend many hours a day staring at this screen.

2. OpenOffice. (Down with Word!) Times New Roman, 12 point, single-spaced, double justified.
