(The typical day of a writer with a day job)<\/p>\n

6:15am – Social Media – 15-30 minutes of Facebook (depending on how many “shares” I find to post), 10-15 minutes posting writing prompts on other social media, 5-10 minutes checking email<\/p>\n

8:00am-9:30pm – a slave to the system (that includes commute time and morning Starbucks run)<\/p>\n

10:00pm-11:00pm – maybe some writing on the book if I’m not too tired, editing if I’m tired, chatting online with one of my writer buddies<\/p>\n

Typical “Day Off”<\/strong><\/p>\n

8:00am – Social Media<\/p>\n

9:00am-11:00am – editing, re-reading, finishing up whatever I was working on the day before<\/p>\n

11:00am-1:00pm – lunch and possibly a rest at the coffee house<\/p>\n

2:00pm-8:00pm – writing, possibly with a few breaks for cleaning, laundry, dinner, etc.<\/p>\n

8:00pm-11:00pm – whatever<\/p>\n

I don’t always write for the entire six hours on my days off, but I’m always working on something related to the book – either this website or doing research or something else involved in writing.<\/p>\n

What’s your typical writing day like?<\/p>\n
