Quote by Peter Carey
At the very end of a book I can manage to work for longer stretche

At the very end of a book I can manage to work for longer stretches, but mostly, making stuff up for three hours, thats enough. I cant do any more. At the end of the day I might tinker with my mornings work and maybe write some again. But I think three hours is fine. – Peter Carey
