A Peek into My Morning Writing Routine

Mornings really do set the tone for the day, don’t they? It sure sets the tone for my morning writing.

As a self-published author, I’ve found that waking up early (4 o’clock five mornings a week) gives me a quiet time to gather my thoughts and get my creative juices flowing. There’s something about that stillness before the world wakes up that I truly cherish.

Sipping on my Pepsi Real Sugar—my little treat for the day—I like to let my mind wander through the stories I’m working on. It’s a calm moment that helps me organize my thoughts.

After that, I usually grab my planner. I find it helpful to outline my goals and tasks for the day. Whether it’s working on edits, brainstorming new ideas, or engaging with other authors, I try to view each task as a step toward my writing dreams.

Those personal challenges I set for myself? They really help keep my motivation up.

When I’m ready to dive in, I set a timer and get to work. There’s something about those early hours that makes the words come out effortlessly. I love writing in the morning!

As the sun starts to rise and light fills my workspace, I’m reminded of the beauty in my writing journey. Each day is an opportunity to create and connect with readers like you, and that thought keeps me going when the alarm beeps at 4 a.m.
