WRITE WRITE WRITE COLLAPSE IN EXHAUSTION WRITE WRITE WRITE READ READ WRITE-it’s a real luxury for me not to be taking care of someone else, and especially when residencies not only feed me, but some of them even gift me with extra money for care for my son so I feel less guilty and can really concentrate.
When I’m lucky enough to get a residency somewhere, my schedule is basically: For me saying “hi” to my work once a day is important for continuity. rise time means I get in at least an hour or two. I also teach and run a writers’ series and am core faculty in ethnic studies at Columbia, so during the year that’s a lot of meetings, one day a week teaching, office hours, going to job talks, etc. If I’m not teaching, I go for a jog, skip lunch, work more, emails in the afternoon, another (plain) coffee at 4 p.m., and sometimes I can eke out a little more. Half-awake space is my best space.Ħ:30: son gets up.* Sometimes spouse gets him to school and I can keep writing. (I don’t need an alarm! Deeply ingrained habit from when I worked as an investment banker and still wanted to write.) Bulletproof coffee (coffee, MCT oil, and ghee).
