I choose my writing time based on the type of project I’m tackling, and that can range from the late nights at the dining room table to the regular mid-morning focus-fests at my desk with multiple windows open on two computer screens. As I’ve asked around, many fellow writers have preferred times - even self-imposed mandates - for their writing. I’ve gotten into the habit of writing when there is time inbetween the less flexible appointments of the week.If there was a way to create a certain writing window the same time every day, I wouldn’t be as productive. The variation of work time throughout the week is as necessary and attractive to me as the constant diversity of my projects. Over the years the range of topics I’ve been fortunate to research has ingrained an innate desire for the next unique writing experience - unique in topic, sources, quotes and sure - what time of day all those components come together. If you’re always writing during the same window of time, try writing your next draft way early or way late. Just try it.
Your best work may await you after midnight
