Jennifer Wallace wakes up to write at 4am! That's extraordinary.

I always loved the detail that Nicholson Baker set an alarm for something like 3am, wrote for 2 hours, and then went back to sleep and woke up with his family ... and then wrote again. There is something about the cleanliness of the brain when you first wake up, like a beach wiped clean by the ocean, that is special.
