Hi, Michelle! Thanks so much for your question.
The number of hours I write per day varies. I have a specific number of pages I need to write every day. Sometimes, when the writing is going really well, I'm done by noon. (My best writing time is in the morning.) Other days, if I'm struggling with a scene, I might be writing until late in the evening. Usually it's somewhere in between. It helps that I type about 140 words a minute. :)
After I'm done writing for the day, I work on other things, like answering emails from my editor and the PR department at my publisher, responding to media requests, ordering reader gifts, etc. It's a busy life, but a good one, and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
