My writing process is very sporadic, I sit down in 30 minute intervals, writing down what comes to my mind, it a very free flow process, and if I sit down and write for too long my focus on the main plot of my stories begin to get lost in the detail. It is very easy for me to get side tracked from the main plot, which is why I tend to get up and take a break every so often. My favorite writer who happens to be Ian Fleming, tends to focus on heavy detailing and his writing process would be going to Jamaica for weeks at a time, and all he would do all day is just sit at the typewriter and type all day.

Story Beginnings
As I read the Boyle's "Caviar" I notice that there are things that are continually left out that just happen to phase into the story later and the reader is left non the wiser until that moment. It constantly had me looking back to see if anything was mentioned about the cheating, or the lust from Nat to Wendy. Each time I was always looking back and always catching how clever Boyle is in his writing, it gave me elements and ways of writing to use in my stories in the future. Writing that make me constantly think as a reader always has me coming back for more.
