It’s almost 10:30. Nick’s gone to have drinks with his friends. Jack’s been sleeping since seven. And I’ve just finished a chapter of my current WIP. (Um, let me clarify–I didn’t just write a whole chapter–I finished the one I started yesterday.) It’s quiet, except for the faint murmur of the baby monitor and the soft rumbling of some show that’s on the TV (I actually just realized the thing was still on). And for the last hour, I’ve had the perfect time to write.

Normally, I’m not much for night writing. I write at night when I absolutely have to do so–when I just can’t find any other time. For the last couple of months, I’ve been experimenting with finding my perfect writing time. I’ve discovered that I write best (and fastest) during the middle of the day. My mind’s awake (not too tired as happens in the morning and the night for me), everything’s bright, and my focus is much stronger.

Any one else have a favorite time to write? And are you actually able to sit down and write at that time, or are you like me, and you write whenever you get a quiet moment?
