I work all day, morning and afternoon, just about every day. If I sit there like that for two or three years, at the end I have a book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can do a book in three months if I spend all day, seven days a week at it and, in fact, I work better that way.
I am a working person. I always work, study or do research for my novel. I even work on Sunday.
I teach classes 28 weeks of the year, but the rest of the time I do research and write books. While I'm writing a book, which I probably do two out of every three years, it's like having a second job. I squeeze in the hours when I can.
I work virtually every waking hour.
Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.
I write in the mornings. I get up every morning at about six in the morning and write until nine, hop in the shower and go to work. Nighttime I usually reserve for re-reading what I've done that morning. I would be lying if I said I stuck to that schedule every single day.
I try to write in the mornings, as soon as I'm up and caffeinated, and to stay in the chair as long as I can be productive.
I go into my workroom seven mornings a week. There will only be one or two mornings a week where it seems to be going well, but to earn those days you have to go through slow, slodgy days where your mind feels like porridge.
I write in the mornings. During my down time.
I only work on my books at nights and at weekends. It is really just like a hobby.
