I'm always in the kitchen, cooking and experimenting - I love it. And every now and then I think, 'I should write a cookbook' or, 'I should write for food magazines.' And then I get drawn back to writing fiction again.

I prefer writing in the mornings, so to that extent I have a routine. I do reading and other things in the afternoon.

Generally, I like to write in the morning before all the dust of dreams has blown away. Beforehand, I read two papers, cook my breakfast and then settle down in front of the word processor, usually by 8 A.M. I'll write, and then check e-mail or voicemail when things stall.

I tend to write in the mornings.

I write every day. I'm always in the process of writing my last book, until the next one.

I write early in the morning, usually after reading portions of at least half a dozen newspapers on the web.

I write in the mornings. During my down time.

The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes.

Usually I decide on what it is I'm writing next by the books I'm reading.

I am a morning writer; I am writing at eight-thirty in longhand and I keep at it until twelve-thirty, when I go for a swim. Then I come back, have lunch, and read in the afternoon until I take my walk for the next day's writing.
