Hello dear readers,
Every book you see on a shelf is the result of countless hours of dreaming, scribbling, editing, and believing. Many of you have asked me, “How do you find the time and inspiration to write?” Today, I’d love to take you behind the scenes and share a glimpse of my writing routine—the little rituals and habits that keep me connected to the page.
🌅 Morning Magic: My Writing Ritual as an Author
I love beginning my day early, when the world is still quiet. With a warm cup of tea beside me, I spend the first 20–30 minutes journaling or free-writing. This clears my mind and opens the door to creativity.
🕰 Finding My Daily Writing Rhythm
I don’t write for hours at a stretch every day—instead, I work in focused bursts. Sometimes it’s an hour in the morning, sometimes late at night when the house is calm. The key is not the length of time, but the consistency. Even a page a day adds up to chapters over time.
🎶 Music That Inspires My Writing Flow
Music plays an important role in my writing process. Soft instrumental tunes or nature sounds often flow in the background as I type. They set the tone and help me immerse myself in the emotions of the story.
📚 Capturing Inspiration On-the-Go
I keep a small notebook with me at all times. Ideas often come unexpectedly—during a walk, while cooking, or even while reading another book. Jotting them down ensures that no spark of inspiration gets lost.
💡 Balancing Writing with Family Life
Like many of you, I juggle different roles—family, home, and personal responsibilities. Writing is my sanctuary, a place where I return to myself. Some days, words flow like a river; other days, they come slowly. And that’s okay. Writing is a journey of patience and persistence.
🌸 Reflection on the Creative Process
Every author has a different process, but one thing remains the same: writing is about showing up with heart. For me, it is not just about finishing a manuscript—it’s about honoring the small daily moments of creativity that eventually bloom into a story.
💬 Over to You
Do you have a routine for something creative—whether it’s writing, painting, or cooking? I’d love to know how you nurture your passions. Share your thoughts in the comments—I might just get inspired by your routine too!
With love,
Puja Naik
