How'd you start your day?

[Representing_Tromba]

Depends on whether I'm working that day or not. I don't have a set week by week work schedule so I can't put a Sunday through Saturday schedule.

Working: alarm wakes me up at 4 AM. I get up and go to work at 5 AM. If the group is leaving then I am off at 4:30, go to the gym, go home, shower, play games or write, and sleep. If not, I work until about 7 PM with meal breaks that I use to write, go home, take a shower, sleep.

Not working: wake up with the rising sun, roughly 6-7 AM most of the time. Stay in bed till 8 or 9 before getting up and making breakfast, coffee, and start writing. Edit or write till I hit a good stopping point or get writers block. Play games with friends, play games myself, or watch something. Sleep.

Rise from my bed, consumed with rage at having been awoken.
Turn music on to keep a pace so I don’t go slower than I attend.
Attempt to wash gorilla glue and acrylic paint off my hands. Fail to do so.
Hurriedly perform the necessary maintenance of a human being.
Slap makeup on my face so that I don’t look like a raccoon with insomnia.
Log onto Scribblehub during my breaks at work.
Debate whether I have enough energy to write or just want to scroll on forums.
Scroll on forums.

I put on youtube or spotify for background noise, check my socials because somehow I'm actually growing a fair presence (slowly but surely), then I sit down to write, taking occasional breaks to reply to messages. Every other day I reread my most recent chapter of whichever story of my current 4 I'm working on for that day (today it's my CYA novel, Two Faces).

As an author how do you start your day?

I wake up and think of my next move for my story.

Wake up, roll out of bed to drag my ass to work. If I don't have to work, I may not roll out of bed at all. If I do anyway, I might crawl around my flat until I find my laptop. That about sums it up.

Update for today: Woke up, feeling like I ran, got ready for work, clock in, scoop & transport 200 lbs of ice, start preparing for cooking, start wheezing and coughing, take rescue inhaler, get back to work, 5 minutes later begin wheezing and coughing again, go home, take nebulizer, get told to take back to back treatments, get doctors appointment scheduled, take and finish 2nd treatment, shaking like a massage chair, still some difficulty breathing but much better….

I get up, get my cup of coffee and start my laptop to do my normal job, because I have to earn money to finance my life somehow.

I am new here,so just exploring is good enough ?
Edit: Fudge! I came back.
So, I woke up at 6 a.m. and brushed my teeth, put on my uniform and had a bread and a banana.
I started for my school at 6:40 and reached school at 6:50. Then, I spent my 5 hours in that hell. I came back at 12 and took a bath. I sat on my chair and started going through my lessons.
I had another lesson to take at 4:30.
I came back home at 7:30. I had a little snack and started studying at 8. I had my dinner at 10:30. Went to bed at 1.

During a break from school: Brush, read a book while drinking milk, then waste time scrapping outlines and scenarios for my nonexistent stories, repeat my fav movies, catch up with some anime episodes, take a shower, before long, the day ends lol

I woke up in a dream today to the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor. Forgot about yesterday, remembering I'm pretending to be who I'm not anymore.

That hit different.

Well this morning I got up from bed and took a shower before fixing up my hair. Then I got started in cooking up a quick breakfast while watching some YouTube vids. After a quick bite, I picked up my backpack and went on my commute to college. Managed to beat the morning traffic so that's a win.

[Stealthy_Enigma]

I wake up at 3am, read books/browse the forum as I get ready, and leave for work at 4am- so I can make it there by 5am~

On the weekends, I sleep in for about half the day, and wake up refreshed, ready to tackle whatever tasks need to be done!!!~
