Curiously, the balance seems to come when writing is woven into every aspect of my life, like eating or exercising – one flows constantly into the next: I’ll wake up and have coffee, read the news, then write a letter or two (always in longhand), then go teach, and after teaching write a bit in a journal – dreams, what I had for breakfast and lunch and why I had it, what’s on the iPod, sexual habits, etc. – then read a bit, then work on a real bit of writing…you get the idea.
