How Does She Do It ?

A bookstore set up a display called " firsts". These were the first mysteries in a series. I spotted Ruth Rendell's first book in her mystery series starring Inspector Wexford.

According to her bio she gets up at 6:15, exercises and then begins writing and completes a book a year.

Her first book was published in 1964. You'd think she would run out of plot lines. In 2011 she wrote her last Inspector Wexford book, but didn't stop writing her thrillers or her books written under the name Barbara Vine.

She's 82 and still writing three hours a day. Her last book, written as Barbara Vine, was reviewed December 2012.

How does she do it?

She has two cats. Perhaps I should think about getting a cat.
