And have they found the \u003cb\u003eperfect daily routine to channel their creativity? \u003c\/b\u003eCrossing centuries, continents and genres, Alex Johnson has pooled 50 of the best writers and transports you to the \u003cb\u003eheart of their writing rooms\u003c\/b\u003e - from attics and studies to billiard rooms and bathtubs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscover the ins and outs of \u003cb\u003ehow each great writer penned their famous texts\u003c\/b\u003e, and the \u003cb\u003eroutines and habits they perfected\u003c\/b\u003e. Meet authors who rely on silence and seclusion and those who need people, music and whisky. Meet novelists who travel half-way across the world to a luxury writing retreat, and others who just need an empty shed at the bottom of the garden. Some are particular about pencils, inks, paper and typewriters, and some will scribble on anything - including the furniture.
