“I wake up fairly early every day, by 8, for sure. Sunday is a lighter writing day than the weekdays, but I still wake up and write for about an hour, beginning right around 8. I definitely have coffee first, and then I start writing. I do think it's kind of hard to get the right level of concentration without coffee.” ThinkingWritingFirstsKindStillsHardHoursLevelsWake UpCoffeeConcentrationSundayLightersWeekdays Author:Karen Thompson Walker

“I get lots of ideas when the lights go out at night and it gets very quiet. Sometimes they come when I first lie down to sleep; other times I wake up with an idea racing through my mind. But regardless of when an idea comes, I have made it a habit to get out of bed and write the idea down before it disappears into my dreams. You should do the same.” ShouldWritingMindFirstsMadeIdeasSometimesDreamLightLyingNightSleepHabitBedQuietWake UpDisappearMade ItRacing Book:Embrace the Struggle: Living Life on Life's Terms Source: Embrace the Struggle: Living Life on Life's Terms
