A Day In The Life Of A Writer
November 6, 2007
Ah yes, here's my glamorous life--yesterday.
5:30--awakened by my wife's alarm clock so thoroughly that I can't get back to sleep.
6:10--get out of bed twenty minutes early, shave in hopes of beating my oldest son to the bathroom.
6:30--catch the weather report and put rubber bands on oldest son's braces (what evil contraptions those are)
6:50--shower
7:10--into office, check e-mail, continue to proof first 100 pages of HM.
7:45--wake up youngest son, make my bed, get breakfast around.
8:30--walk Frodo.
9:00--back in office. Focus on proofing 100 pp of HM, some back-and-forthing via e-mail with my agent regarding a number of business matters concerning hanging contracts and potential markets for other projects.
10:30--leave for the gym.
12:00--back home, eat lunch. (Greek pita from Mr. Pita. Yummy.)
12:20--walk the dog. (Is he spoiled, or what?)
12:45--back in the office. Work the phone contacting people around the country before they head to L.A. for the Association of Molecular Pathology meeting.
1:30--go get my hair cut
2:00--back to working the phones. Conduct an interview with a doctor at Johns Hopkins.
2:30--after transcribing the interview, write the profile.
3:00--talk to oldest son when he gets home from school.
3:10--write two more profiles. Get an assignment from another client. (Yeah!)
3:45--conduct interview with doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Cornell.
4:00--talk to youngest son when he gets home from school.
4:10--transcribe interview, write profile of lab.
4:45--edit technical journal, deal with some e-mail correspondence.
5:00--send out a couple queries for writing jobs.
5:20--more editing.
5:45--talk to wife for a little bit, listen to her vent about work.
6:00--make changes to first 100 pp of HM, create a PDF file of it and send it to my agent.
6:30--work is done, upstairs to practice guitar until 7:00
7:00--eat dinner, do dishes
7:50--flip through the USA Today
8:00--watch Star Trek: Enterprise
9:00--check e-mail, surf the net, read.
10:00--go to bed.
Cheers,
Mark Terry

You left out "post to blog".
But I want China Fire! Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine, pay the bills. Humph.
Has Enterprise almost finished cycling around? I want to pick it up when it starts at the first season again. I watched all of Voyager.
I've been on an I-miss-Star-Trek funk, lately. I love the hope in it.
Speaking of writing, did you see this short blog entry?
