Ann Beattie writes at night. Hemingway started at daybreak. Balzac started even earlier, at 1 a.m., which may explain his drinking 50 cups of coffee per day. These and other work habits of famous writers are quoted by Jack Limpert from Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, in which author Mason Currey "researched or asked lots of writers how they dealt with the procrastination muse and many talked about how they prepared themselves to write."
