Goodreads asked Jeff Henigson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jeff Henigson Become a morning person. I wasn’t. I’m still not. I always told myself that I was more productive at night. But a writer friend persuaded me to try waking early for a week—keeping my phone switched off and dedicating the first two hours of each morning (after ten minutes of meditation and two cups of coffee) to writing. Those hours have proven consistently to be my most creative and fruitful. I can’t say I’ve happily converted myself into a morning person (some people can assure you that I haven’t), but with persistence and some really good coffee, I’ve reaped major benefits from working through those wonderfully productive morning hours.
