I know *exactly* what you mean. By the time I've done battle with
the railways to get home in the evening, I'm too brain-dead and
physically exhausted to write. Besides which I'm married, and
it's not fair on my partner to come home, eat and then disappear
into the study to write...

And I can't write on the train, either - too often the commuter
rush means I have to stand...

Which leaves those days when I sleep badly and wake early, and
lunchtimes (if I actually get to stop work at lunchtime, which
doesn't always happen...)

But I *will* get the story finished, I *will*. The FFML, nay the
world, deserves it!
