“I tend to get really going later in the afternoon. But I can do a lot of puttering. I'm an expert putterer. Plus, I have three children, so I can interfere in their lives. I have aging parents. I have plenty to do if I don't want to write. I can keep myself busy for a couple of days without going anywhere near my computer. But basically, when I have work to do, I usually buckle down in the afternoon. Sometimes I'll get a whole day in, but it'll be towards the end of the day. I'll work an eight hour day, but never more than a couple hours at a time at the desk. I have to walk around, check the mail, make a cup of tea. So it's an eight hour day, that unfortunately starts around four in the afternoon.”
