I wrote most of yesterday.  I first started writing in bed and wrote around 2,000 words.  Later in the afternoon, I moved into the living room and wrote 3,000 words, but not in one sitting.  I finished around 8PM  

So I feel pretty good about that.  I am going to try that again today.

I don't do what typical writer's do in the morning.  There is no right or wrong way of where  to write, when to write.  Every writer is different.

I have a desk.  Right now it is covered with other stuff, and not my laptop.  I have an office, though I don't use it.  When I am in my office, I feel like I am at work.  I have to produce.  When I write in bed or in front to the TV, I can write and let the words flow and I don't feel pressure to produce.  I write because I want to.

I get up when I wake up.  I have to go let the chickens out of the coop, feed and water them.  Not much fun in that in the winter.

I come back inside.

1.  I grab a Pepsi

2..  I take my allergy pills 

3. turn on the computer.

4.  I blog

5.  I might surf the internet etc for a bit.

6.  I start writing

This is all about 2-3 hours in the morning.

7.  I take a break, check the chickens

8.  Move into the living room and write while the TV is on.

That is basically my day.

What I find funny is that people know that I write,(though they don't believe I will amount to anything)

So when I quit my job, everyone and I mean everyone, friends and family, always asks me--"What do you do all day?"

I don't tell anyone I write anymore, because I know my friends and family do not care.  I write because I want to write.  I just find that funny.
