A Typical Workday For Me Is Getting Up At About 5:00, 5:15 In The Morning, Getting Some Coffee Or Tea As Quickly As Possible, And Then Getting To My Desk. And Ideally, I'll Start Writing Around 5:30, 5:45, And I'll Write For Three, Four Hours, And Then I'll Take A Break, And Read Over What I Write. Maybe About Lunchtime, I'll Go Exercise Or Get Out Into The Day. Then I'll Either Read Over What I Wrote The Day Before And Quit Work Around 3:00 Or 4:00 In The Afternoon And Spend Some Time With My Kids.
