I find that my productivity rises late at night. It's rare that inspiration strikes in the middle of the day.

I prefer to write in the midnight when other are in bed. Honesty, that time, there are special inspirations that comes on me.

My creative writing time is from 5:30 to 8:30 in the morning. And for diary writing, I've allocated the evenings. This is nothing special, I do what has worked for many writers before me.

I like to spend the morning writing. That's when I'm at my most creative and at my brightest and best.

My best writing comes out late at night. Specifically when I'm sleep deprived. Used to write entire pages on long night train and bus rides and I kinda miss it.

I don't have a specific time. I write after curating 2-3 posts online.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

I always thought writing at night would be my forte, but that is not the case! I am most motivated and creative when I first wake up.

I used to be night person. I think clearly in the midnight until morning. But now when I'm forty, I just fell asleep even before midnight. So right now I mostly write in the morning. And don't forget a cup of coffee or tea.

Also a night owl, so prefer the evenings. I can't write in the mornings like I hear other people do because I'm always filled with concerns about starting my day and what needs to be done that day. Afternoons can sometimes work.

I recently learned an idea called "the sacred hours". It's that time of the day when your productivity would be the most and disturbance the least. If we can find such a time in our day, that's our sacred hour for writing. I loved this idea.

I love the evenings. It's amazing to write when the sun is just about to set or when the moon is about to show its full glory. That and right before midnight. It's very calm, quiet and especially if it's raining. There's a whole new mood.

My favorite time to write is at night. I feel like I can think about ideas during the day and jot them down at night.
