By no means am I a full-time writer. I can't support myself on my writing income but would one day love to. So what's it like to live the life of a writer?
It's so unglamorous!
Get up and take care of dog. Food, walk, water, a little fetch. This is usually done VERY early in the morning. Try to go back to sleep, which usually doesn't work.
Breakfast.

Open file.
Yawn.
Stretch.
Get beverage.
Scroll to last 2 pages and read them to remind self where left off.
Open outline to figure out where story is headed.
Wish for nap.
Place fingers carefully over keys and pick up where left off.
Delete.
Try again.
Type, type type.
Lunch.
Walk dog.
Start it all over again.
Write, write, write.
Dinner.
Feed & walk dog.
Write, type, write, delete, type, forward motion! Ahead!
Crash.
The End

If work day:
Get ready for work.
Take puppy out once more.
Work.
Home & dinner.
Walk dog.
Open file.
Yawn.
Stretch.
Get beverage.
Scroll to last 2 pages and read them to remind self where left off.
Open outline to figure out where story is headed.
Write for 1-2 hours.
Crash.
Bed.
Crap, forgot to take puppy out! Taker her out...bed again.
Sleep.
Sleeeeeppppp.
And this is the glamorous life of a non-full-time writer. Exciting, isn't it.
