Yeah. So, let’s talk about your writing process. Just quickly. Just maybe you can just kind of give us an overview. Sort of what is your writing process look like? Where do you typically write? Do you need to write at a coffee shop or you have ambient noise? Do you have a home office? Do you write in the morning? Do you write at night? Middle of the night? What is your writing schedule look like?
Gigi Levangie
God, I’ve only been doing this, and I’m 62. I’ve been doing this for almost 40 years. But, okay, so I write, usually what happens, I used to have home office and all that, but now I go to a coffee shop, I put in my head, I have headphones, I put them in, and I put on Simply Noise, the app Simply Noise, I put it to brown noise, it’s pink noise, white noise, brown noise, you know, there’s rain, there’s fire. I like the brown noise, it’s kind of low key, you know. And I time myself the Pomodoro method. So, 25 minutes of writing, five minutes on. 25 minutes of writing, five minutes daily mail. I have to get through, I try to get through five pages of a screenplay at least, if not more, and then a thousand words of a novel, if I’m right, depending on what I’m writing. And usually in the morning I work out, I ran out of kids, my kids are grown now, so I work out and then I make myself breakfast, go to write, have to have a latte, have to have my coffee.
