Sun, 20 Mar 2011 07:21:54 +0000 http://becomingafictionwriter.com/?p=170#comment-12528 I get my best ideas between 12:30 AM and 3:30 AM. I am a life long night owl. My biggest problem (here's my biggest prostinator) is that by the time I've gotten the boys down to bed and had a snack, I am too exhausted to write any more (3 yr. old, and a 6 mo. old, and I'm a single mom)...... On the weekends, I'm at work at these times, so it's easier to find time to write a bit. 6:30 AM?!! REALLY? That's about the time I have to rise and shine for the kids, but I usually only make it to the rising part. Thank God for children's nap time! Only thing I can think to say about WRITING at 6:30 AM is, "Jr., don't play with mommy's pens. Go back to sleep for half an hour, please?" V. I get my best ideas between 12:30 AM and 3:30 AM.

Don't worry, your English is great. I can't believe you get ideas at 11.30pm ... I am asleep at that time 99% of the time. But I do know some other "night owls" who can work really well at that time of day. Kate, sounds like you're more like me! Did you every try getting up an hour early to write? I haven't but I suspect it would work well for me ... Hey Alberto, where are you from? Don’t worry, your English is great.

They come and go anytime they want. I agree with you though that past 10.40pm, my whole mind's asleep. I'm more suited to write an encyclopedic novel during mornings. :) Can’t be of much help because I don’t know when is the best times for me to get ideas. They come and go anytime they want.
