What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Many, in fact most, of my writing ideas show up before dawn when my mind is too active to fall asleep again. I hold out until dawn mulling them over, then get up and jot down reminders to make sure they are not lost..
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I play golf, have woodworking projects, exercise (not enough) and work in too large a yard. I also develop software though that has tapered off in recent years.
