People wonder what a writer’s day looks like … especially if they have a day job, like I do.
My schedule is weird – some days I work 6-7 hours and have time to write, other days I work 12 hours and only have the energy to eat a little dinner and fall into bed.
I almost always write something on my days off, and usually on my half-days as well. If I’m not actively working on new material, I’ll be editing and revising what I’ve finished. I also take time to blog about once a week, and I post on Facebook every day (in case you haven’t spotted the link, that’s JESHaysBooks).
When I’m off, I usually sleep in a little, getting up between 8 and 9am and working most of the day. I usually get to bed between 11pm and midnight. On days where I’m working on something new, I usually write for 6-8 hours, so long as it’s flowing well. If I’m revising and/or editing, which is harder for me, I usually take more breaks and spend less time working.
So now you know … what’s your working schedule like?
