The alarm goes at 6am, and I slip down to turn on the computer, and put in the password. By the time I shower, dress, and come back downstairs, it will be powered up and ready to go.

And away we go.

I have everything plotted out, so I know exactly what the scene/chapter will be. That leads to almost a manic typing that has lead to 1500 words, in one session, in half an hour.

And in half an hour, that’s it. Done. Out the door to the bus, work and my daily life. Until the next morning. It hides away, like an alter ego in my closet, until the next time I turn the computer on, and let the voices flow.
