Writing
"Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work," as the old Flaubert line goes; "regular" days feel great to me now.
You have to set aside time. I mean, you can have plenty of time for both. You just have to give up something else. You might have to give up television or reading the newspaper or things like that, you know. If you’re serious about writing, there’s enough time. If you take away, let’s say, nine hours of working and commuting and eight hours of sleep — and not everyone even gets eight hours — you still have seven hours left in a day to eat and exercise.
Even if you’re down to five or six, you can spend time with the family. You can still squeeze in time to write. For instance, I did it when my wife was going to bed early. You can also get up very early and write before you go to work.
