Writers and Fiction
"After
I finish reading the newspaper, after breakfast, I travel to work--a distance
of about two feet--from my armchair to my desk. I sit down at about 9:30,
and work till 12:30 without a break. Then I go out and shop, to have a
walk; come back, make a quick lunch, generally back at my typewriter by
about 1:30. Then I work till about five, again without a break. Sometimes
I work later; if I'm writing a section that is flowing well and easily
I could go on to 7 o'clock. Generally I end about five and then have a
very stiff drink!"
