The Telegraph features Irish writer
Edna O'Brien and shares her morning routine:
She works every morning at the arbutus wood desk that stands beside the fireplace, presided over by her two literary heroes, Joyce and Beckett. Before she begins she says a prayer, using rosary beads given to her by a priest at Westminster Cathedral, 'not always forgiving my enemies, but hoping that the bit of work to be written will get written'. Then she reads something – a passage from the Bible or Shakespeare, a poem by Ted Hughes, pages of Wuthering Heights – before settling down to write in longhand using the distinctive violet pens she bulk-buys in New York. (Matthew Dennison)
