Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.
When I got my very first phone call that I'd hit the 'New York Times' list I had a small rush of 'I've made it!' But the next morning it occurred to me I didn't know what it was so I called my agent and asked what being a 'New York Times' bestselling author really meant. He informed me that I was now a thousand pound gorilla.
What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day but sometimes when they do not have school we will try to do something in the morning too.
Sometimes I lose a whole morning waiting on journalists and other people who look for me. But I always find some time for reading talking to my friends and feeling what is happening in this world.
I write in the morning from about eight till noon and sometimes again a bit in the afternoon. In the morning I start off by going over what I had done the previous day which my wife has happily typed up for me.
I took prenatal yoga three times a week including the morning I went into labor. It helped me stay comfortable.
Internet marketing entrepreneurs have truly opened my eyes to just how important a quick turnaround time can be. Often times an interview they conduct with me today is online by the next morning. The interviewee is then able to start making money less than 24 hours after the initial interview.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.
Sometimes it's so weird just to do an interview. This morning I was back in my parents' house with my brother and we went for a jog together then had breakfast as a family. And a couple of hours later I'm wearing high heels and a dress and makeup and talking about my job.
We don't watch the film anymore because we've seen it so many times so we'll introduce it walk out and we'll come back in right about when I wake up in the morning and walk over to the shop and everything's changed.
