Fun fact about me: I wrote the first draft of my first novel on my mobile phone while commuting to work by bus in Baku, Azerbaijan. Paragraph by paragraph, day by day, 90,000 words came together to form an unreadable story where some characters changed names halfway through. 😂 Six drafts later, the novel I published resembled that first draft in protagonist and setting only. But had I not started writing on my phone that one morning, I probably never would've written a novel.

30 mins, although sometimes a bit more if traffic was bad. Probably 300-400 words per day. I'd also find myself writing during other periods of downtime. Took about 18 months, if I recall correctly.
