A day in the life of this writer

I had to give some thought to what I do as a writer every day. Well, the thing is, I don't do the same thing every day. I like to mix it up a little, so to speak. I typically will wake up between 7-8 a.m. eat breakfast(usually a Pop Tart and tea. Not really a big eater), exercise, then take a shower. From 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. I write. I have a half hour break to regroup or eat a snack and from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. I watch documentaries of crimes and get ideas for my stories.

Right now I have been spending a lot of my time researching and compiling information for the cases for my Duke Wellington, P.I. crime fiction series. I never realized that people were so mentally unstable and the things that they do to carry out their crimes are crazy, but enough about that. I also take the time to flesh out a story idea that has come to mind. It is a thrill when you get another story to work with.

I tend to go to the library two or three times a week to check out how my books are doing in the eBook Marketplace. Touch basis with people on Facebook and Twitter and get more information and download more videos of documentaries on crimes. Yeah, I know that sounds creepy, but somebody's got to do it. I have compiled so much character information for my series that I can write several books.

Some days I may just write the entire time or I may watch crime stories. So, there is never a day of me doing the same thing that I did the day before.

I think, personally, that if you do the same thing day in and day out it becomes repetitious and boring. Writing is what I love and it is not meant to bore me. 

By the end of the day I have done what I set out to do and have accomplished a lot. I feel that if I get things done then the day isn't a waste of time. It doesn't really matter to me whether or not I write a book ever day, just as long as I am thinking about what I can produce next.
