Your soon-to-be famous writing routine!

You’ve seen those videos “I wrote like a famous author!” where someone tries out a famous author’s writing routine for a day, week or whatever. I’ve seen those videos for everyone from Hemingway to Greta Gerwig. ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)

So let’s say you become a famous successful author, and suddenly everyone on YouTube wants to copy your routine. What’s it going to look like for those poor shmucks? (♯^.^ღ)

On a Saturday, mine would look like this...

9 am Pretend to wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, have a meal shake
10 am Turn on computer and see if the world is still here
11 am Update my NaNo word count from the previous night, if I remember
12 pm Go to the gym
1 pm Eat lunch and think about working on book
2 pm Visit Wacky Writers instead
3 pm Check out favorite litmags to get into the mood to write
4 pm When that doesn’t work, check YouTube instead
5 pm Write a few hundred words, or even 200
6 pm Give up and read some more of someone else’s book
7 pm Have another meal shake, mostly to kill time while thinking
8 pm Try to write some more. Maybe I’ll make it to 300 this time!
9 pm Visit Wacky again
10 pm Read some more of whatever book I’m reading
11 pm Promise to write tomorrow, then take a shower before bed
12 am Hit the sack

I don’t have a routine.

I just write for what feels like an hour.

The chorus is the advice I’m going to give to aspiring writers.

People would like mine cause I don’t start writing until the afternoon or evening :joy:

I honestly can’t figure all those writers who like to write in the morning. I mean, it’s fine if you want to, but who has their their head together that early? Not me! ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

I am the most creative after dinner, because that’s when I am the most awake, alone and can think harder.

Go about my daily life until I feel like writing… Do some mass cram writing (about three chapters or so, then spend the next few weeks editing). The End.

That’s about it really…
