I can write all the way through the morning, when my mind is clear, and there are no distractions.

The remark frames writing as a practice that depends on cognitive freshness and environmental control. By emphasizing “the morning” and a “clear” mind, Walker points to a common creative rhythm: early hours can offer sustained attention before the day’s obligations, noise, and digital interruptions accumulate. The line also implies that productivity is less about waiting for inspiration than about protecting conditions that allow deep work—quiet, continuity, and mental clarity. In a broader sense, it highlights how writers often build routines around their most lucid hours, treating concentration as a finite resource to be spent deliberately.
