Recently, most of my work is done before 4 AM. Just me and coffee and the cat.

I usually like writing from around 6:30 to 8:00... that is, from right after dinner and continuing on a couple hours.

I love to write at about 10 at night, right after I shower haha if I am writing poetry or something short. I am not usually a morning person but something about writing in the early morning wakes me up like not a lot of things can, so I write more novel type things in the morning.

My creative juices tend to flow best in the early evening, around 5:30pm, right after I eat. Something about that time of day just makes my brain supercharged.

The night time is the right time. I love to write when every one else is sleeping.

For me it just depends when my thoughts start rolling for poetry, I'm typically a night owl, but sometimes I can write mid-afternoon or evening.

My favorite time of day is around 5pm when the sun is setting and the sky is sometimes pinkish orange.

I haven't written in a while, but I think morning? I procrastinate more at night.

I love to write at night, wait for everyone to go to sleep so it's nice and quiet-free from distractions.Though when I wake up from a nightmare, I write certain parts of my story with those feelings I had from it. Lately, I've been writing during the day though-start at 4am and go until I remember to eat something.

Night works best for me... especially if I've had a big day, it gives me something relaxing to do.
