Judith Thomson Hi Jane! I do some of my best writing early in the morning before the other aspects of the day gets started. I always did this, even when I had three kids to get to school! As for the rest of the day, I don't have regular writing hours like some, or set myself daily word targets. For me it works better to do it whenever the inspiration takes me so I always have paper or my iPad to hand to get those ideas down quickly!
Judith Thomson Only just seen this, Mary! Hope you like the book. (Madame de Maintenon is in it, but, if you recall, my take on her is a little different from yours!)
