My daily schedule:

Step 1: rise, with your wings already poised & ready for the day (note:ignore the searing pain in your shoulders.)

Step 2: dodge the idiot little brother on your way to the dining hall, who insists on trying to scare the living eggshells out of you.

Step 3: sit down to breakfast (note: 1st chair from the head on the left of the table beside mother & across from great uncle vermillion) (note #2: eat like you're already queen.)

Step 4: go to practice council meetings (note: council consists of: Great Uncle Vermilion, Great Uncle Hawk, Great Uncle Apex, Great Uncle Screech, Grandmother, Father, Mother, & Lumaku(grandmother's royal advisor)) 

Step 5: Practice posture with Madame Pyre (note: chin up, wings straight, tail curved into a perfect 'C')

Step 6: study SkyWing history (note: Grandmother is 4,008th SkyWing queen. I will be the 4,009th.)

Step 7: lunch (note: same arrangement as breakfast.) 

Step 8: free time (note: study your scrolls in this time)

Step 9: Calligraphy lessons (note: Curve. Every. Line.)

Step 10: dinner

Step 11: go to bed (note: wings are not allowed to droop until you are in your nest.) (note #2: sleep with wings flat to sides, head flat on ground, arms propped directly in front of body.)

I set down my journal (no, Tarn, it is not a diary) & rest my head between my front talons to sleep. I think faintly of what my younger brother by 3 years, 5 months, 2 days, & 4 minutes would do today, but I quickly force the thoughts from my mind. No time for that. A queen must not dawdle on what could have been, but what must be, I tell myself before my eyes close & I drift off to sleep.
