Writing with Author, Philip Pullman

From Rodcorp’s series on how people work {a fascinating blog}, here’s author Philip Pullman’s workspace and process.

I write three pages every day (one side of the paper only). That’s about 1100 words. Then I stop, having made sure to write the first sentence on the next page, so I never have a blank page facing me in the morning.

Pullman used to work in a writing shed but gave it to a friend when he moved on the condition that the friend would pass it along to another writer when he’d finished with it. Pullman’s shed reminded Jason Kottke of George Bernard Shaw’s rotating writing room. [via Link]
