I read a Time article on Jonathan Franzen which described his habit of going into his rented office six or seven days a week from 7am in the morning and staying there until he was hoarse from speaking his dialogue aloud to perfect it. Reading between the lines the article describes how he spent eight years faffing about, before banging out the finished book in a year after he realised he was going to die one day.
BTW, you may THINK you're not a morning person, but it can be trained. Stay up all night then go to work. When you get home, after you've eaten you'll drift off to sleep and then wake up in the middle of the night. Rinse and repeat. It'll be a marvellous couple of weeks, and assuming you manage to keep your job it will instil in you a habit for early rising and heavy caffeine consumption that will serve you for the rest of your, obviously abbreviated, life.
