Post daily routines of writers

Post daily routines of writers.

what a fucking boring life jesus

Schopenhauer had the same schedule for literally 30 years.

He also pretty much lived the ideal life, I don't know what the fuck his problem was.

7:00 am - woke up, drank coffee, began writing
12:00 pm - stopped writing, played the flute
12:30 pm - went to restaurant for lunch
1:00 pm - read
4:00 pm - walked for two hours
6:00 pm - read the newspaper
6:30 pm - went to theatre or concert
8:30 pm - eats dinner at restaurant

This one is contentious, but Hunter S Thompson's apparently.

In my free time I read, I watch movies, series, draw, diy (I include here some fanzines) and ... I write. A lot.

Here's mine

8 AM: wake up feeling like shit, swallow some kind of stimulant pill (Adderall or Modafinil) and drink some codeine

8:30 AM: now that I can actually get up, I walk over to my computer and begin browsing the internet, occasionally taking notes of anything interesting

2 PM: time to start drinking my first bottle of wine

4 PM: walk to the city to find somewhere to drink my second bottle of wine

6 PM: wonder the streets like a Flaneur, observing society, taking more notes if I stumble across something worthwhile

8 PM: back at home, I swallow a sleeping (Xanax or Valium) and read about depression and suicide until I pass out.

heres mine.

>6 wake up with the sun & birds
>look at plants or do some minor tasks
>7 read
>10 do some light excercise
>eat fruit while listening a lecture
>11.30 internet or write/draw
>sometimes go out for a walk or for groceries
>13 read
>16 eat and listen to lecture
>17.30 internet or write
>sometimes a movie
>20 sleep

every now and then i stay up all night, go to bed 7-10 and continue normally. it feels good and balances the thing when it goes off rails for some reason.
and about writing, it sprouted by itself after years of reading, and it is done randomly... im not at a state where you can schedule it or do it whenever. at least for it to be helpful. internet discussion helps as a stimulation.

>played the flute

where do you live? i'd love to come visit you.

You're pathetic

>I don't know what the fuck his problem was.

that was his routine to solve his problem. he already had it when he engaged in it. if there is nothing to look for such lifestyle drives you crazy eventually or is simply impossible.

UK there is nothing interesting about me, I wouldn't wanna waste your time. What's your life like?

...

He was also a 50 year old neet who lived with his mother.

WHAT'S YOUR LIFE LIKE?!
While you was stuffing mac and cheese shells in the pot,
I was stuffing mac shells in the glock!
While you was watching toy story, I was watching South Central with the bros
While you was putting the nose on Mr. Potatohead, I was tryna put a potato on the nose!

thanks user for the inspo

That is so gay, holy shit.

mine:

work 9-5
then the rest of the day is doing chores, preparing meals, exercising etc. in bed by 9. read til I sleep

Having a routine has always deadened life, in my experience. I begin to get the overwhelming sense that "this is all there is," the sense that my freedom is restricted. And for what? For some hope that I will "improve" my life?
Jordan Memerson claims that you just have to "schedule the day you want to have" to fix this problem. But what you "want," or what you think you'll want in the future, will change at any given moment. It is impossible to predict what kind of day you will want. You may think you'll want to do this thing at this hour in the future, but when that hour comes, you may not want to do it anymore. Seneca warned against this:
"Can there be anything sillier than the view of those people who boast of their foresight? They are too busily preoccupied with efforts to live better; they plan out their lives at the expense of life itself."
Spending your time predicting the future is absurd when you could be using that time to actually live life.

This is Stirnerism applied to the ontology of everydayness

Schedule varies. Sometimes I fall asleep after reading for 30 minutes, and sometimes I sleep during my commute or on the job. But I do probably get less sleep than I need.

mah nigga

6am rise and take adderall
6am-8am read
8am take kratom
8am-11am read
11am take kratom
11am-2pm read
2pm eat leftovers for lunch
2pm-5pm listen to lectures/podcasts etc while doing chores/responding to emails for my work from home job/going for a walk/exercising
5pm girlfriend arrives; take kratom
5pm-6pm watch videos while she cooks (we cook a different world cuisine every month (this month is moroccan))

So basically you're her bitch

nah i make more money than her if thats what youre trying to say

do any of you niggers work? who's footing the bill?

>job
>creativity

pick one

:(

Not currently. I saved enough money to live like this for a month or so. Eventually I will start again when it ends. I work for my family business and since during that time I can live with them, can save 90% of what I get living frugally

i have a job that lets me work from home and requires me to do 30-45 minutes of work/week but pays me as if i work 60 hrs

Tell us your secret

Neet

my mommy

Probably some kid of software development, specifically, I think he does web development and uses some blog engine like wordpress, so his customers think he's done a ton of work but most of his "work" consists of editing templates and pressing ctrl-C ctrl-V

>tfw sit in class all day thinking of things to write
>go home and do homework
>go to work
>come at 10pm with no energy to write

Can’t fucking wait till I’m done with college

Just bear in mind that Balzac worked himself to death.

From Warren Ellis' blog (He's a comic/fiction/TV writer)

in fact i have a job "consulting" for the energy industry. my bosses live in houston and singapore, i live in california, and the clients are all over the world. no one really knows what i'm doing at any specific time and there are enormous gaps of time when we are waiting on stuff from clients etc. it's absolutely outrageous, but i just try to take advantage; i have many other friends in management consulting who do literally work 60-70 hr weeks, it all just depends on the situation and i landed the best one possible. just had my annual review and was told my performance is very strong—people are thrilled with how willing i am to volunteer for work and be a team player, no joke. my parents think i should write a novel about how ridiculous it all is. additionally, other management consultants from mckinsey, etc. are always getting our CEO to re-organize management and lay people off, so i have a new boss every 6 months who takes 3-4 months to catch up

>TERRIFIC SPEED

Marx warned us about this!

is it some reference?

everyone in the corporate world is a pencil pusher--some people just have to *turn up* to work for 70 hours a week, but whether you're in an office, or at home (like yourself) at most, you do about 10 hours of real work. you were just one of the lucky ones who got to work from home, but there's no surprise in any of this: most people spend the majority of their working hours just idling.

sorry if that doesn't make sense i'm drunk af

I just thought it was funny, with the bold lettering.
Imagine Freud with his grumpy old cigar face racewalking around Vienna like a damn retard lol

sounds like a common university student

How are you being supported?

Only one person in this thread actually works. What the hell are you people doing? God fucking damnit!

How did he even survive?

mommy
though she is growing older, she's not old yet, but I can see the glimpse, it's terrifying btw, and so I have incentives I am pursuing so... you know.
I am also not the only child, and so far the other child seems to be walking the path in a much steadier and better fashion than me, so... im sure you understand.

My routine since November:

230pm - Wake up, piss, check email, watch youtube
330-500pm - watch youtube, read wikipedia, cook or order food, then consume
5-630pm - Have a double rye and research new careers and places to live in Europe or on the Mediterranean.

Rinse and repeat. Being born into the third world without wealth or connections fucking sucks. Twelve hours working day is a norm here. Either this, or a 9/5 office job which pays less than a minimal wage. Neetbux is also unheard of.

I don't believe it. That would mean that I'm actually on my way to make it.

yeah if you're actually also doing something work-related creating writing something at all. that's the thing, they all do COOL STUFF SNIFF POO POO DRINK GOO GOO but they also work actually
do you cunt do YOU

probably belarusian web developer. probably king of belarus.

>awakening
You sound like a pretentious cunt.

juicy

Most people have a similar daily structure to:
>7:30-9am: wake, shower, go to work
>9-5: work
>5-6: go home
>6-12: diversion, dine
>12-7:30: sleep

yeah what kind of a brainlet awakens. patricians wake up. keep toiling.

>kratom addict
same- feels good

Not a writer, but that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone else.

>6:30 Wake up, shower, breakfast and prepare lunch

>7:15 Commute

>8:30-9:00 Start work

>13:30 Lunch

>14:00 Second half of work

>18:00 Commute home/

>18:45 Socialise in town

>19:30 Prepare Dinner/ Eat Dinner

>20:15 Relax/ read/ listen to music

>22:00 start trying for sleep

My day looks something like this. It kinda varies.
7:30am: Wake up.
7:30am-8am: Breakfast and brush teeth
9am-10:30am: Read or write and attend uni classes.
11am-11:30am: Lunch and browse Veeky Forums
11:30am-12pm: Read
12pm-2pm: Read, write, exercise, or class depending on the day. Usually a mix of two.
3pm: Come home and finish up any schoolwork
By 6:00pm: Eat dinner, write, shower
6:00pm - 11pm: Leisure and chatting, then sleep

You're aware that writers tend to be independently wealthy, or at least have an adequate stream of unearned income?

Throughout history, writing has been a hobby for the aristocracy and landed gentry. It's not for plebs who need to work for a living.

Mine:

8:00AM: Wake up, pray the Divine Office, then pray the Nicene creed.

8:20AM-8:30AM: Eat breakfast.
8:40AM: Turn shower on, brush my teeth as the water gets hot , then take a shower.
8:40AM-9:00AM: Get dressed, clean room or not.
Past 9:00AM to at most 9:40AM: Leave for class.
10:00AM-11:40AM: Class
12:00PM: Track and Field practice
12:50PM-2PM: Weight lifting
2:30PM-3:45PM: Class
4PM: Go home and do random shit (Veeky Forums, youtube, write, read)
6:00PM: Eat dinner
7:00PM-7:50PM: Class
8:00PM: Get home
8:20PM-???: do homework and write
11:30PM: Brush teeth and such
11:45PM: Do a personal prayer, and three others.
12:00AM: sleep

If you read Junter S. Thompson you'd know he's lying. He lies all the time in his texts, on purpose, to mess with the reader.

It's something I very much like to do as well. The concept of lying to the reader in his face, on purpose, just to fuck ith him, is very powerful. He knew this, and his lies were only outrageous enough so that readers like tou could kinda believe it, but not being sure.

>wake up at 8:30 am or maybe 9:30 am
>breakfast, shower until 10 am
>write from 10:30 am to maybe 12:30 or, when the day's good, 2:30, 3:00 pm
>lunch
>Write, read or do nothing until gf arrives from work at 5:30, maybe 6:00 pm
>fiddle around with her, talk, have sex, do nothing, maybe write more until it's time to cook dinner
>have dinner at roughly 8:30 pm
>write more until either 11:30 pm or 2 am and pass out on the bed

writing full-time was a life-changer for me. Completely changed my life. My days are all about solitude, despair and silence. Never been happier.

u must be mad rich

Dam, all you guys have routines that you actually repeat consistently?
I have no structure in my life. When I want to write--I write, when I want to paint--I paint, when I want to exercise--I don't, but someday I will, I've promised myself

>wake up@10ish
>eat breakfast and reflect on my dreams, thoughts I'm having at the time
>11 am: either go on a walk, or, if it's hot read/write/paint
>3 pm: work
>10ish pm: get off work
>some combination of hanging with friends, read, write, paint, Veeky Forums, youtube until 2ish.

I'm:Whenever I have free time I lack structure. It's really only the prayers, class, working out, eating, sleeping that are generally immutable

>prayers
pleb lmao yurenot gona makeit

Also, though, my hours are all over the place at my job, so that contributes to my erraticism, not that I wouldn't be that way otherwise. I don't really like rigid structure, not my thang

Do you go to a prestigious university user?

>vigorously walks through the London countryside

Live for something, bud.

Yeah that's understandable, then. And there are times that I don't like rigid structure, also. For me, that's for when I'm out of town, camping, or hiking.

Nah, not particularly. I go to a CSU in California. I did go to the University of Redlands, last year; not really prestigious (obviously not like an ivy league prestige), but it was a respected school

5 AM: Wake up and get dressed
5:15 AM: in gym or exercising in room, stretches
6:00 AM: get dressed and make breakfast with coffee
6:30 AM: brush my teeth, read for an hour, minor cleaning
8:00~2:00 PM: Class (university)
2:30 PM: usually cook lunch, read or make writing notes while cooking
3:00-5:45PM: classwork, normal study, varies. Prepare for next day.
6:00-8:30 PM: Write or prepare for writing. Browse lit for ~20 minutes. Dinner is cooking while this happens, almost invariably beef stew with a side of spinach and a glass of milk.
8:35-9:30 or so PM: Play video games. My favorite genres are STGs, run and gun, and fighting.
9:45-11:00PM: prepare for bed, read by candlelight since I legitimately cannot sleep immediately after bright TV light. Pray, usually shower but sometimes wait until morning.

I only work during the summer while I am not at university, 12 hours a day so I don't have to have a job while I am studying. Summer sucks dick though. I keep this routine really tightly, only occasionally break it to meet friends etc.

Céline needed barbiturates to sleep

About 4 days a week I tend to sleep around 3 to 5 hours, and the other 3 days I indulge and sleep 8 to 12 hours.

(Not him) It makes tons of sense and it's retarded. I go to an office and do nothing for most of the day. I want out.

If memory serves, this was debunked and the person who wrote it was called out for sensationalizing.
