At 11 a.m., I rise leisurely from bed. While I’m waiting for my coffee, I go online to check my e- mail. There are three new assignments from editors/clients. The mailman delivers my mail promptly at noon. Today’s delivery includes a brown envelope with a large check inside as payment for one of my writing assignments.

After lunch, I spend a couple of hours writing on my latest project. I shut down my laptop and I’m done working for the day.
