The Typical Day of a Novelist: Process and Routine

Scheduled for publication by TMSA in 2025, "A Typical Day in the Life of a Novelist" provides readers a meaningful tour inside the less well-considered and more multifaceted world of a writer, and specifically a novelist. It has done this part of the writer's stereotypical reality—and far from the romantic view—of the additive combination of creativity, discipline, and routine that adds up to a novelist's day.

This book was written by TMSA to help aspiring writers and established writers understand some of the habits, practices, and processes to develop productive and inspiring writing habits. The author talks about their own way of reserving the mornings to just work on characters and storylines and then reserving afternoons to write, remembering and learning that perfection is something that only exists as a process.

Some of the scales presented in the book are

* Gaining perspective or insight into a writer's daily life.

* Insight into the process of creativity.

* Understanding of the habits that get moved to an individual novelist.

* An understanding that discipline is essential for a writer.

* Understanding a writer's mentality is essential for a writer.

The book touches on important ideas pertinent to the craft of novel writing, from creating a positive morning routine to establishing an optimal writing environment, through getting past the mid-morning slump to writer's block. The text also discusses important dimensions of the writing craft like research, the business side of writing, balancing writing with family time, and self-care.

Through detailed examples of techniques such as stream-of-consciousness writing, time-blocking, character interviews, scene imaging, etc., the author offers actionable methods to improve creativity and maintain momentum. Other topics explored include the positive impacts of mindful eating and movement and the benefits of late-night inspiration.
