What is your daily writing routine like?
At the beginning of my writing “career”, before it could be reasonably ruled anything resembling a profession, I used to write for 12-14 hours a day. Which is why now, on a relatively normal day, I can drop off my toddler at preschool, sit down, enter the fugue state, produce my daily goal of 4,000-5,000 words, do 10 minutes of physical therapy to offset the aforementioned fugue state, and then pick him up right after lunch to go play Buzz Lightyear in the park.
