The routine basically goes: Wake up, run / shower @ gym (some days, meditate in tanning booth), go to cafe & write for ~3-4 hours, Citi Bike to day-job, work it & once finished, go to sleep on soho-streets @ night.
I ended up in this situation because I put myself into it so as to be in New York City (publishing house Mecca)
I am from CA but going for it ;)
