I’m so glad I’m not the person to do the editing on my book. This kind of work makes me go all confused in the head. I spent a lot of time one-spacing all the long quotes when they were supposed to be double-spaced. It’s just not something I should be doing.
I have a funny brain. People install apps that lock down their computer and prevent them from accessing Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other distractors while they work. I, on the other hand, can only work in the mode of

And that’s how I produce huge quantities of text. Put me in front of a screen with no distractions, and I’ll never write anything. I have very intense and fascinating thoughts and if I don’t drown them out with all these media, I won’t be able to write.
