J.R.R. Tolkien, the renowned author of classics like ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ typically set aside a significant portion of his day for writing. On average, he wrote for about two to four hours daily. This time was often dedicated to the early morning hours when he found the world quiet and conducive to creativity.
In addition to this dedicated writing time, Tolkien would spend hours thinking and developing his ideas, often while immersed in his academic work at Oxford. His disciplined approach to writing allowed him to craft complex narratives and detailed worlds, but it’s important to note that Tolkien also balanced his writing with his responsibilities as a professor and family man.
