| Getting up to write before dawn | Haruki Murakami wakes up at four in the morning, before the sun rises, and writes non-stop for six hours straight. |
| Imagining for years what one would like to write | Truman Capote planned his great works years before he sat down to write them. Close friends say that the author talked about stories he would one day write and that over the years they appeared, one after the other. |
| Better in the company of others | Charles Dickens enjoyed writing in the company of people. Dickens was grateful for the company and conversation while he was doing so, and would even occasionally intervene in the conversation and then immediately return to his writing. |
| Writing standing up | Ernest Hemingway was an eccentric creator, who preferred to write his books always standing up. |
| Creating among the flowers | Gabriel García Márquez could not write unless he had a yellow flower on his desk. Only when the flower was in place would the creator of Magical Realism proceed to take off his shoes and then begin to write. |
| Start on a specific date | Isabel Allende only begins her novels on the 8th of January. Each new day of writing is accompanied by a lit candle, which will mark the time invested in literary creation. If the candle were to be extinguished before it burns out, the writer would immediately stop writing until the following day. |
| It was a dream | The idea for the Twilight series came in a dream to Stephenie Meyer. She saw an average girl and a vampire in a meadow in the woods, discussing the issues surrounding the way they were falling in love with each other. |
| All times past were better | George RR Martin writes on an old computer. He uses the WordStar 4.0 processor, once popular in the 1980s. He claims that it meets all his writing needs. |
| Practice makes perfect | The children's writer Roald Dahl had a strict writing habit. Every day, he wrote for two hours in the morning from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and again for two hours in the afternoon from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. |
