The scarily brilliant Angela Slatter has whittled up this simple chart of her writing process. I’ve sat in on all sorts of weird and wonderful writing classes, groups, all of that schtick – but I’ve never seen a writing workflow summed up so well.
Ponder this well, my padawans, because Angela Slatter? She’ll write your FACE off. The lady knows her biz.
The rest of the advice lies here: http://www.angelaslatter.com/reminder-to-self/
I’ve just been interviewed as part of the Drive-By series, over at Angela Slatter’s website:

While you’re over there, why don’t you check out some of the other interviews she’s done – she’s rounded up some great authors and creative folk, and it’s well worth your time. Angela’s Drive-Bys include a tonne of Aussie talent, and folks such as Robert Shearman, Kelly Link, Gavin Grant, Aliette De Bodard, China Mieville, etc etc.
It will be an ongoing series of interviews (with a new one each working day) right up until World Con. That’s what I call a rock-star effort!
