A Day in the Life of a Writing Recluse

Before the quarantine…after the quarantine…my weekend schedule is still basically the same.

8am: Wake up. Faff about.

8:15: Let dogs out and immediately shush them for barking at nothing.

8:30: Faff about with coffee.

8:45: Meditate.

9:30: Faff about with breakfast.

10: Video games.

11:30: Spy on neighbors with snack.

12:00: Work on novel, which ironically is about a reclusive writer who spies on her neighbors in a tribute to both The Burbs and Rear Window.

1pm: Yoga, then shower.

2:00: Faff about with lunch.

3:00 Video games or serial killer documentary (sometimes both as we Geminis like to multitask).

5:00 Read with snack. Maybe spy on neighbors again, I don’t know.

7:00 Dinner.

9:00 Walk dogs after dark when normal people are all indoors.

10:00 pm to 1:00 am: Write in a spirited frenzy that only comes on as soon as everyone is asleep and the world is quiet.

What’s your quarantine writing schedule?
