David, what a fine post! I believe some routines are essential; otherwise, how would we get things done? My father always said: Little by little. You've written several novels, so I imagine some sort of routine made that possible (especially if you have a demanding day job). The best way to start my day is to get up and get outside, preferably before 7 am. That hour spent with the rising sun and nature is so much more than a jump start.
Thanks for the comments. I would definitely agree about writing rituals. I think that's the only way to get it done (at least for me)--it's too hard otherwise. It has to be a soul-supporting habit, like walking with the sunrise.
