My evolution, my becoming a full-time writer happened quite naturally. | Ayodele interview response about when she decided to become a writer | Most of my writing is done at night, usually between 11pm and 4am. During school term I have to wake up early to take the children to school. I use daytime to rest and do less demanding work.
