Do something to get warmed up, like a diary or journal. Then write as long as you feel 100%. Stop before you get tired. For me that's 4 to 5 hours, but I'm old. Hemingway said to stop where you know what comes next, even if it's in the middle of a sentence. And treat it like a job, don't rely on inspiration, just do it whether you want to or not. If you get it wrong you can fix it tomorrow.
