Very first thing in the morning, I spew some rough genius directly on to the laptop. Then I have coffee and rewrite for three hours.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have to have coffee in the morning.
What I try very hard to do is have an hour or so in the morning when I leave the house and don't have my phone with me. I'll go sit in a cafe and read and handwrite in my notebook and not be facing a screen. My head will be clear. I will be able to hear myself think. Because honestly for the rest of the day it's just screens, screens, screens.
I get up, get coffee, and go into my home office. I check email and Twitter before I start work, but I have to try not to get too distracted.
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'm not a morning person: I can't function until I've had a coffee - or several.
I love turning on the computer in the morning and reading the things that I did the day before - that I didn't do!
I typically wake up at 5:30, and that's my time. I read newspapers, have coffee.
I work full-time in a used bookstore. I get up. I drink a cup of coffee. I think, The last thing I want to do is write. Then I go to the computer and write.
My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.
When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.
