'50 Shades of Grey? My Women Kick Ass, They Don’t Get Their Ass Kicked' And Other Mantras By Jackie Collins

Jackie on… Her writing ritual

“I’ve designed everything in my Beverly Hills home. It’s perfect place for a writer because it’s very calm and inspirational – a lot of white walls, buddhas and a David Hockney-style swimming pool. I write everything in long hand, then I give it to my assistant to type up. It’s incredibly time-consuming, but I can’t do it on the computer. I have to have my ritual; at the end of the book I have all my handwritten pages and have them bound in leather and then kept in my study, so I have all these leather-bound books. I LOVE having that. When I start a new book, I roll out of bed and go straight to my desk. I write one sentence, then get dressed, have coffee  or green tea then go right back to my desk and start writing. If I’m doing a Brazilian scene I’ll have Brazilian music to get me in the mood. If it’s a sex scene? R Kelly.”
