Nette Hilton – Children's & Young Adult Author

It was a very sorry day when I had to move house and leave my studio behind but a studio, or dedicated workspace for my computer, books and manuscripts is an absolute must now. Writing can consume you!
So that I can leave with a clear conscience I plan a week ahead. I’m pretty disciplined when it comes to obeying my planning and don’t let myself off the hook until I’ve completed all that I set out to do. This will include:

Listing the chapters that I want to have finished by the end of the week.
Organising notes and thoughts on new work – or picture books.

Reading research material and making notes and time lines.
Editing – working up sheets to make sure that my books are consistent and the character’s names are all spelt the same way and unpicking the story that I’ve written.
Checking out workshops and presentations and making sure that all the equipment I need is in the right place.
Answering letters, emails and phone calls about new work and work that is underway.
Involving myself in the ‘business’ of writing (sorting receipts, organizing tax and erky stuff).
