"Writing Process of Famous Author"

Most authors have rather interesting writing processes or habits. Some do some weird things but the outcome be great novels, stories, books, and other things in that group. An author I found that has an interesting writing process was Maya Angelou. She had a quite interesting way of how she wrote and it does involve hotels…. Well not hotels in that sort of way. She can go to a hotel to clear her mind and think more clearly and vent. She’d be inside the hotel room with her head scarf, or head tie she calls it, on. She was married a couple of times and she had a husband that was some sort of jealous of her writing. She says he was jealous of her writing because when they were at the hotel, he’d accuse her of writing as if it was some sort of bad thing.

When Maya Angelou write, she’d tend to twist her hair and that is something her and I have I common. Her husband at the time could tell she had been writing because of the way her hair was. She learned to hide or cover her hair with some sort of turban. She always had kept a hotel room in her hometown and she’ll pay for it by the month. She’ll go by 6:30 in the morning and the room would consist of a bed, table, and a bath. Also, she would have a Roget’s Thesaurus, a dictionary, along with the King James edition bible.

On the desk she’ll have a deck of cards and some crossword puzzles to occupy her. She would work crossword puzzles out or play Solitaire to get deep into the subjects she wanted to write about. As time passed, she’ll keep the room. She’d have all the paintings and any decoration taken out of the room and she would ask the management and house-keeping not to enter the room, just in case she had thrown a piece of paper on the floor, she don’t want it discarded because she may go back to it and get more ideas from it. She would leave the hotel by 2 then go home and read over what she had wrote that morning, and try to revise or edit it, tweak it or critique it. Her writing process is different because not everyone is the same. She had to get a room in order to write, other people sit at desks, some lie down, some write, and some type. Everybody has different writing habits and that’s what makes us all different.
