Not so strange, Wendy. But it does sound like fun. 🙂

I have a very strange routine–it's coffee, news (while checking email), take child to school, and then some journaling and yoga. Then, "off" to work! 🙂 I still need to find time to walk the dog. 🙂

Paula, that's a good routine.

Anne, that sounds like my commute. :)

Devon, I hear you --what works for one writer doesn't necessarily work for another. It's why I hate the absolute statements; You MUST do it my way, blah blah... never works to fit everyone into the same box. :)

If I stop in the middle of a sentence or a scene, I lose the whole piece. I'm glad it worked for Hemingway, but I have to work until a chapter end or, at least, a scene end.

kick-start in the AM -- yoga, meditation, then my first 1K of the day.

If I skip that first 1K, my whole day is out of whack! ;)

I commute every day too, Lori… from my bedroom to my office… maybe 5 steps? Oh, first to the kitchen to feed the cat and make coffee… so maybe 20 steps?

I take Doggie Lily out, feed her, make my breakfast (typically oatmeal – I hate thinking about what to have for breakfast and avoid things that take more than 3 minutes to make) which I enjoy while checking e-mail. I plan my day, make tea and check a few blogs for inspiration before launching back into work.

Coffee, the morning paper, and ESPN. 😉
