I keep notes, I journal, and I use photographs and music to jump-start a writing session. I write in both spurts and longer periods of time, but rarely more than three hours of continuous writing at once. For me, small is big. Meaning short sessions often add up to a large output.

Those are two things that are also part of a writer’s experience. As an actor, I have learned to get comfortable with discomfort, creatively and professionally. When I write, I know there will be whole days of just sitting and processing the story. There will be whole days’ worth of work that will get thrown out.
