“My typical morning involves some time on the treadmill, but obviously I skip that a lot. Mostly, I wake up, check my email, then get to work on the various interviews and questions and phone calls that come with being an author.”

Meaning

The quote reads as a candid look at routine, not glamour. It suggests that writing life is built from ordinary tasks, interruptions, and obligations, and that the work begins before any polished creative moment appears. In a practical sense, it lands with anyone whose day starts with messages, deadlines, and other people's requests, before they can settle into their own work.
