Everybody works for the weekends

One of the things I've seen through a lot of writers is the ability to constantly work.
Some might argue we have to, a seven-day work week might be a necessity.
I know I prefer working 6 hours for seven days instead of working 9 hours for five days.
Sometimes, generating stories and following leads takes a lot of time.
Even worse, sometimes we're sitting waiting for a crucial phone call.
That's why we keep busy with constantly writing, editing and compiling information.
Another way to work that I prefer, working at night compared to during the morning.
I like to get as much notes during the day or afternoon as possible, then write everything out at night where I can concentrate in silence or with the tv on.
I prefer to write two stories a day from Wednesday to Saturday, but that's if I can get all info during the daylight hours.
Sundays and Saturdays usually are the days I edit my stories for style and flow.
Line editing is done Mondays and Tuesdays.
By Tuesday at 5 p.m., the paper should be completely finished with design and the process starts all over again.
Tuesday nights, I am almost completely exhausted, so I don't usually write stories then, however I have.
