Ep529 – Michael Connelly – How to Write Every Day
We are delighted to welcome worldwide bestseller Michael Connelly back to the podcast to discuss his new novel The Dark Hours, which explores an LA scarred by fear and social unrest. Michael reflects on how the world of Harry Bosch has grown over an incredible thirty years, and he answers our listener questions of writing habits, outlining and much, much more.
In this episode you will discover:
- The pros and cons of time stamping your novels in the real world.
- How his 15 minutes a day rule keeps him writing novels while making TV shows.
- And how his latest novel was inspired by… street lights.
