Assess Your Writing Process

This exercise uses the interviews Charlotte Cloutier conducted with different authors and posted on her blog projectscrib.org. At a minimum, read five of the following interviews (or others of your choosing, there are 25 in all):

• Steve Barley

• Kevin Corley

• Jerry Davis

• Royston Greenwood

• Bob Hinings

• Jennifer Howard-Granville

• Tom Lawrence

• Nelson Phillips

• Mike Pratt

• Tamar Zilber

Write a 2-3 page description of your own writing process and assess its strengths and weaknesses. Of the interviews you read, identify whose process seems most similar to your own. Why is it similar? Identify whose process you would most like to emulate. Why would you like to emulate them?
