WRITING ROUTINES | A Day in the Life of Charles Dickens

#charlesdickens #writingroutine #authortube
In this video I am starting my deep dive into the routines of famous authors! We start today with Charles Dickens, author of such novels as "A Christmas Carol", "Oliver Twist" and "Great Expectations".
The famous Charles Dickens' routine was one he followed stringently every day, without error and involved regular mealtimes, lengthy walks and time for socializing.
Can I manage this routine? Watch and see!

Did I do an uneven job of hacking the dead ends off my wig? Absolutely. Was I going to refilm the video when I noticed that? Nooope. 😅 See you at sprints tomorrow, 1-3pm eastern!

Love this series! As expected, I have very little in common with Dickens. Though I spend more time at my desk, it is more studying and less writing--most days. And breakfast? Does coffee and nicotine count? And lunch? Does coffee and nicotine count?😅 I would be down to hear any author's routine, it is good for inspiring ideas, as I am no stranger to switching up routine on a weekly basis...which kind of discounts anything being a routine whatsoever, but sounds like you may have a similar "routine" 😅😊

[@HollyRhiannonWrites]

hehe so glad you love it! Where coffee and nicotine are concerned, one originates from a bean and the other from the leaves of a plant so technically yes, yes they would count... right? Plus, vegan. So that's automatically healthy 😂 Either way, I have a sneaking suspicion that anyone who can maintain a stringent routine for years at a time is somewhere further along the psychopath continuum than I. Best to avoid falling into that trap. ;P

​@@HollyRhiannonWrites I'm with Pae: does coffee and coffee count? I also agree with Pae that this video was really great! I think routines can help the brain "turn on" in the same way at the same time each day, which can be used to plug into creativity more regularly. That said, I'm still stuck on the breakfast thing...Great work!

[@HollyRhiannonWrites]

Thank you so much! Breakfast is difficult and this routine sorely lacked in the area of caffeine haha here's hoping that the next one I try is a bit better suited, but I have my doubts. 😅

[@O.G.Rose.Michelle.and.Daniel]

@@HollyRhiannonWrites The thought that Dickins wrote Bleak House without constant caffeine...I'm actually incapable of keeping that thought in my head for more than five seconds...I can't even keep thoughts in my head without constant caffeine...

[@lexdakos]

You are most welcome! It's always fun to wander around in someone else's shoes for awhile.

Don't try and find out what made Tolkien tick; in his own words, "I don't tick, I am not a machine." :)

[@HollyRhiannonWrites]

Is that a challenge?
