Yet another reader, Katya Pavlopoulos, asked me this question: "How do you do that?! 4K in one day?! Explain this sorcery to me please." Let me describe to you my current routine, or ritual, or whatever you want to call it, and see if you can extract some useful information out of it for yourself. I've blogged before about my schedule before, and it hasn't changed much since then, except now I write for longer hours. I'm actually able to break around 2pm to go pick up my son from school, come back, and get back to writing, to work till about 4 or 5pm. So here is my typical day and a bunch of tricks, or odd things, or quirky things I do, to get myself to write 4,000+ words a day, up to 5,000 on some days.
