Do you have a writing routine? If so, what does it look like: daily, when inspired, etc?
Elan Mastai
I've always been fond of this quote by W. Somerset Maugham: “I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp.”
I stick to a daily routine—usually writing 10am-1pm, take a break, get lunch catch up on email & calls, then writing again 3pm-6pm. Sometimes life intrudes and I can't do a full day's writing, but then I'll often make up for it after dinner, so that I'm averaging a solid 5-6 hours writing per week day.

Elan, your novel was just absolutely fabulous and I enjoyed every second of it. I actually made the last few chapters last almost a week because I didn't want it to ever end. I've often ruminated on the idea of parallel worlds and if our alter-egos in these worlds have any affects on who we are in our own space. Do you believe that parallel worlds exist or is this purely speculative fiction?
