Manage Your Time, Your Writing Environment and Yourself

I’ve learned by experience that when I’m in writing mode there are certain things that have to be done.

Go to my quiet room;
Turn off the TV and music so there are no distractions;
Have a cup of Earl Grey;
Take a cigarette break every hour for a few minutes and rest my eyes; and
Write for no more than 8 hours a day unless there is an urgent deadline to be met.
