Maggie Smith on Process

“When I do write, I’m not picky about where or when. I tend to think best in the morning and late at night, but if mid-afternoon is the only open time that day, I can work with that. I usually write longhand first, in a notebook (blank, dotted, lined) or on a legal pad. If I don’t have paper handy, I might type notes.” (Maggie Smith, Dear Writer)
