  <abstract>"How I write my novels" by Duchess is a reflective writing on the creative process of novel writing, extracted from Mrs. Hungerford's work "An anxious moment." It is likely penned in the late 19th century. The text serves as an exploration of the author's personal inspirations and struggles in crafting stories and characters, shedding light on the emotional and mental journeys involved in being a writer.  In this essay, the author recounts her initial experiences with writing, including the rejection of her first manuscript and the subsequent encouragement she found in her later works. She describes how ideas can come to her unexpectedly, often in quiet moments, and emphasizes the significance of spontaneity in her writing process. Characters emerge vividly as she visualizes scenes and settings, always favoring the vibrancy of youth. The piece details her working habits, highlighting that she writes for short bursts of time and allows herself to be guided by inspiration rather than forcing her creativity, ultimately expressing a deep connection between imagination and the art of storytelling.
