Q&A with Wayne Lockwood discussion

Do you have a set time or place where you write? How do you fit it in?

I'm in an "interesting" spot right now, as I'm sitting down to work on my first novel. "Acid" was a collection of columns that I often wrote between midnight and 6 a.m. on my own time after work. I'm trying to figure out what's going to work for me as far as time/place, and it's an ongoing process. Not an easy one, either. I'm sure it's the same for a lot of you.

My best guess so far is setting a SET schedule. I'm trying from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every weekday morning, then I'm taking an hour to hit the treadmill to see if it'll trigger some of that alpha-state creativity (and because I need to lose the rest of my beer gut). Then heading to work from 2 to 10. That'll leave me an hour to practice guitar before I go to bed and start it all over again.

I'm taking the weekends off, though. I'm reserving my weekends to work on music production and on trying to be a social human being (also a work in progress).
