Being a Nighttime writer

No time like now to write

I’ve read many articles over the years that say writers should write first thing in the morning. The day’s stressors haven’t started. The obstacles haven’t started.

I’ve read many blogs by writers that follow this policy.

I can’t do it. My mind doesn’t start like that. I need to see things first. I need to hear things. I need to hear dialogue first. The first thing I do in the morning is make coffee. I’m on autopilot until I need to be.

Right now it’s 8pm at night. I’ve had a weekend of seeing life to inspire me. I can get all this down because I’m still thinking about it.

This is the second blog I wrote in the past hour. I am better at the end of the night.

How about you?
