I work early in the morning, before my nasty critic gets up - he rises about noon. By then, I've put in much of a day's work.

I get up every morning early, when the sky is red, and write for 10 hours.

I have a slightly bad back, which has made an enormous contribution to American literature.

I usually get up between 7 A.M. and 8 A.M., have coffee, and go right to work. It's really important not to get sidetracked in the morning so I'm still in that dreamy state for my writing.

I rise near dawn, make a strong cup of coffee, wander to my desk and come fully awake by reading something written the day before.

I typically wake up at 5:30, and that's my time. I read newspapers, have coffee.

For writing, I get up early in the morning - 5 o'clock, 4:30. I'm a morning person... So I try to do it while people are asleep. The mornings are the nicest.

I write in the mornings. During my down time.

I get up extremely early in the morning.

Discover the times when you're most creative - mornings, nights, afternoons - and clear the time to work then. Many writers find the mornings are best, and the afternoons are only good for editorial corrections, or getting the washing done. Others can only work through the night, drunk.
