writing process of a famous auther

Truman Capote, is the author of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “In Cold Blood” he is well known to be a “completely horizontal author.” He always had to write lying down, in bed or on a couch, with a cigarette and coffee. Once he was tired of coffee he would switch to tea, then sherry to martinis, as the day went on. He wrote his first and second drafts pencil, and his third draft was done on a typewriter, which was done in bed with the typewriter balanced on his knees.

I think Truman's is different from the others because it focuses more on how he wrote then when he wrote. Most of the stories I found were all about authors who wrote at night and slept during the day or they had some type of writing technique that they all did the exact same each day.
