Typical day……

Rise about 6:15 am, get ready for work.
7:00 am, drive daughter to school.
7:20, hit the gym for a workout.
To work by 8:30 am (I’m an advertising writer/producer)

During my 8:30 to 5:00 pm work day, I manage to answer e-mails (lately, a lot are JPF Road Trip related, and other gig-related), make my rounds of various forums (during breaks from the ad writing), and get a whole lotta work done.

Lunchtime, I will either usually work on some new song or practice my guitar in my office.

Once home about 5:45 or so, I’ll eat the dinner my wonderful wife has prepared, and start looking around for stuff that needs doing…..might be school work with the kids, ferrying someone somewhere or some household project. If there’s a Red Wings game on, especially the playoff games (like now!), I’m there. If not, I’ll pick something on the to-do list in prep for my daughter’s HS graduation open house.

I end up doing most of my songwriting in the car on my way to or from work. I take a pocket recorder and transcribe stuff later.
