In the morning, I have certain aspirations. One of my goals is to avoid looking at the computer or checking e-mail for at least an hour after I wake up. I also try to avoid alarm clocks as much as possible, because it's just nice to wake up without one.

I like to try to do a little work before I do anything in the morning, even if it's a paragraph.

I wake up in the morning, walk downstairs, and just bang on the piano and write about what's going on in the world around me.

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

I will sleep all day; I love staying in bed with my dog and reading and not getting up and checking my phone. And that gets me into trouble because I have things to do, and that's not very productive.

I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.

I procrastinate all morning. That's when I get my office work done and answer e-mails and see what's on the Internet and do laundry.
