I get up at 4am for work on day shifts, and I physically can't get up earlier than that. I'd be even more of a wreck than I am now. Night shifts are slightly easier, given that I automatically sleep less due to the daylight coming in the room. So that frees up an extra hour or so.
On my days off, I can't write at night without wrecking my girlfriend's sleep. Ditto for getting up earlier, because she's a light sleeper and the slightest thing will wake her and then she can't get back to sleep. It's not fair of me to impose that on her.
If I didn't have to take my car to work, I could write on public transit. Alas, my work schedule takes me outside of available public transit hours.
So I try to write when I have lunch breaks at work (I don't get those about half the time), and I have about 3-5 "free" hours a week in which I try to write when I don't have more pressing commitments like groceries or car repairs or whatever else.
I don't understand how dictation programs work. How do they take punctuation into account? Sentence fragments? IDK. Maybe if someone explained it to me better...
