I make dinner for my family, and we hang out with the kids until 8:30. I spend the other five hours working on edits, revisions, galleys, or whatever else has come across my desk. Once I’ve finished my words, that’s not the end of my work day. When I’m writing, I write: typity typity type. I know what I’m writing in the morning, so there’s no blank staring time. To keep the writing moving that fast, I block the scene the night before in bed as I’m waiting to fall asleep. I don’t check email or mess around online. If I’m drafting a book, I write for three hours in the morning. I work a lot, I’d say forty to fifty hours a week. But since I suspect this question has its roots in speculation regarding my productivity, I will elaborate.
