MY WRITING DAY
Jill Steeples
The feel-good writer tells Lynne Hackles how her day pans out after the essential early-morning cuppa
Jill Steeples will be known to many as a women’s magazine short story writer. She is also a novelist who says she needs a cup of tea before starting work.
‘I usually open up the laptop between eight-thirty and nine, after that first mug of tea,’ she says. ‘Before settling down to writing I deal with any outstanding admin tasks, or else look at Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads etc… and I check my emails. My husband has his own business – his office is in a shed in the garden so we have our own working spaces. I look after the accounts and admin, so tend to see if there’s anything that needs doing there first, before starting on my writing for the day.
