The cool thing about writing is that there is really never a typical day. Sometimes I get a rhythm going and head off to work every morning and come home at night. Sometimes I'll write for two days straight and then be utterly blank for the next two.
Writers are often alone when they work. Hours pass in silence as one long moment; light fades as day turns back to face the coming night.
