I don't usually pin myself to a specific time (i.e.: <i>you must write at 8:00 A.M.</i>), but when I can, I try to get things done early, or at least get started early in the day (i.e.: <i>you are sufficiently awake--now go write.</i>)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-63660642778965627192013-06-27T22:45:02.351-07:002013-06-27T22:45:02.351-07:00I usually find that when I try to pin myself down ...I usually find that when I try to pin myself down to specific times for anything, I usually end up feeling less inspired.Jennifer M.http://livingthecreativelife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-35970589605327954452013-06-14T13:51:26.355-07:002013-06-14T13:51:26.355-07:00Psssssh.

It's great to be able to sit down and think <i>I'll be happy with five minutes</i> and end up with an hour's worth of material. :)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-50158290509475542762013-06-06T18:47:09.589-07:002013-06-06T18:47:09.589-07:00When I'm working on a book, I aim to write/edi...When I'm working on a book, I aim to write/edit for an hour right after dinner.

It's not unusual for me that I try to write in the afternoon, but have no inspiration at all. Then before I am going to bed I think I can just write a bit, like 5 minutes, and I end up writing at least an hour because it's the words are just comming.Lina Tinnerbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-39981150978189560962013-06-05T16:38:47.414-07:002013-06-05T16:38:47.414-07:00That's so interesting!

But I also find that the later it gets, the more creative I become. I wouldn't even start writing until midnight when I was a teenager.

My mind is clear and I can concentrate on my writing. Since it's the last thing in my day, I don't have to worry about time, which is always my enemy.<br />Actually end of my day does not mean a specific time. Usually it is during the night, sometimes at dawn or early morning, but it could also be afternoon. During the week I don't follow the normal day-night rhythm. It tends to shift forward day by day, then I reset it during the weekend. :)Carlahttp://www.anakina.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-26289699896194263252013-06-05T05:21:25.394-07:002013-06-05T05:21:25.394-07:00After midnight!

You're definitely a night owl, I take it. :) <br />On another note, I totally understand the winding down bit, and I can see how that would also be a great time to sit down and write. As for daytime is for daydreaming...I like that! I daydream at just about any time, but I like the way you said it.

Lil' one is going bed, big one is playing console, I'm writing. Best time for to write is after midnight, why? Because daytime is for daydreaming.<br /><br /><br />Gosh, I must tweet that!Shay Deenoreply@blogger.com
