My process for writing is long and old fashioned. It works for me though.

1. Have an idea or a dream to start the process.
2. I write it out in long-hand in a notebook as well as count each word for a word count.
3. Then I type it up and sometimes find that I'd left words out.
4. After it is typed I read it and correct spelling errors, typing errors, and sometimes re-writing things.
5. Next I copy it into blank books, printing it so that it is readable. Most novels take three blank books or more.
6. Once that is done I input the novel into the computer.
7. I read it on screen and make any input errors I might have created.
8. Once that is completed to my satisfaction I print off a copy with double sided pages and bind the finished product into what I call a "Big Book".
9. Before a novel is ready to publish I read it out loud and get the tone of it. I correct things that do not sound right to the ear.

My reason for doing the above steps: Back before I had a computer (yes, I'm that old) putting pen to paper was easy to take anywhere you wished. I did have a typewriter when I was an adult and not typing my stuff just doesn't seem right. Because I wanted to see my novels in print I printed them in the blank books. They look nice in my bookcase. Then the computer entered my life and that was great. The four books that I have in print out in the world I self published through Xlibris. This is a costly way of doing things, but it is a good feeling seeing your book in print and selling. The Big Books, at the beginning of my computer usage, were made to give to my daughters to read and provide feed back. Now, due to distance and other factors I only make a Big Book for me.
