I seem to be drawn to writing at night for some reason. I tried writing during the day but I feel I'm not at my best. And I see that many are night writers like myself.

[Dreamclouds]

Either late at night either early in the morning, usually when it is so quiet and nice also when it rains, always

[jamesgoldman]

I tend to write at the end of the day with a glass of Scotch

[DaBiggestBird]

I like to start at 8:30 in the morning and call it a day around 4 pm. I can’t really do that since school is in the way right now, but when my career truly begins, that is the schedule I have set up for myself, and I’ll gladly work overtime if I have to. 4-6 is fine by me. Well during most of that time I’d be working on the actual books themselves but I have a separate schedule I call the Counter Leagues.

Monday = Concept Comics (rough draft of the books)

Tuesday = PRC Minus Neutral - digitally color the beings I discover (PRC/ Possibly Real Character)

Wednesday = Book (this is to make up for school taking time, Wednesdays are slightly shorter and we leave school a couple of minutes early, so I have some extra time to catch up the actual books at home.

Thursday = PRC Outline Discovery - I draw a PRC in my special book, or two sometimes

Friday = Script Writing + Documentation - I have plenty of different documents and slideshows to keep important information neatly collected so I don’t forget anything, there is A LOT. I usually progress on the scripts though, storyboard in words basically.

I also have another schedule for my YouTube channel but everything I use for that doesn’t anymore for no reason so it’s kind of on hiatus or something. It’s like a childhood toy you thought you lost but then you suddenly find it years later.

Well I'm not a writer.
And by the time I finish the sentence you'll know it LOL

Even though I do like to write it's not your basic morals or values kind of story it's kind of naughty stories

And when I do right it doesn't matter what time it is it's just all the sudden comes to me is that or somebody has inspired me or I'm trying to find somebody to partner up with and to write Hot stories.

[OddBeMe]

I prefer no schedule, more indie when I’m inspired. I read about auto writing where you really let your subconscious kinda take over.

Absolutely adore this question!

I write whenever my heart tells me to. I could wake up in the middle of the night and start journaling. It's a great stress reliever✍️

[jennifer_bloom]

My favourite time of the day to work is the morning but I usually work mid afternoon cause it is when I have the most free time.

[sage2021]

Either first thing in the morning when I am having my coffee, or late at night when everything is quiet.

[WintersDaughter]

Dead of night, when I'm drifting off to sleep, because that's when the best ideas pop into my head 😭

[Lynx122]

For my important job as a poster on gag I prefer to write in the afternoon or late at night (:

[KostasKouvalis]

During the day, because at night I'm too tired

[KostasKouvalis]

What kind of stories do you write?

[thegreenyogi]

Novels. You?

[KostasKouvalis]

I meant more, what themes?
I do short stories with travel and erotic themes.

[thegreenyogi]

My themes are time, destiny, coincidence and a lot of unexpected twists to the story. Complex characters.

[KostasKouvalis]

Sounds really deep. Do you have any published? Do you have any excerpts? I'm curious. I don't really have to attention span to write that kind of stuff or a long novel. lol But I've been writing for fun since I was a kid

[thegreenyogi]

I don't have anything published yet but I intend to get this one published. Yes my writing is very deep and reflective. And I write purely for the fun of it and I don't hold anything back when I write. I'm very pragmatic and practical in my everyday life so writing is my outlet for my emotions which I keep to myself usually.

[KostasKouvalis]

Nice, I totally get that. But do you ever draw inspiration from real life?

[thegreenyogi]

Yes of course. In this particular novel I am writing the grief part is me essentially taking a kind of grief I experienced at two different stages of my life for the loss of two different people and me building the two main characters around that grief. So you could really say that I split myself into two different people and so to some extent it is taken from personal real life experience.

[KostasKouvalis]

So you took two experiences that happened to YOU and applied it to two different people in your stories? Wow, that is really deep. I've never thought of that.

[thegreenyogi]

Yeah. It's the way my brain works. I am pretty deep even if on the surface I don't show it.

[KrakenAttackin]

I think everyone has different hours when they feel the most alert and creative. I am not a writer but I do woodworking and metalworking, and tend to gravitate to my hobbies in the early/mid evening.

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

I did write before. I usually have more ideas at midnight, or before I sleep.

[dustybiker2]

Inspiration strike me at all hours. It used to be only evenings, but now it's any time.

[dustybiker2]

*strikes me (as typos are irritating me today)

[wiltingrosepetal]

At night. It's calmer, and harder to tell that time has passed

[DishLady]

Depends on the type of writing. I'm writing/reviewing stuff at different parts of the day.

[Simslover92]

I prefer to write at night since I'm a night owl and feel most inspired at night.

[joehypo1]

Any time as long as its dark outside

[Revolutioner_83]

I think I can not write at daytime

[12karen]

Before sleeping

[EmpressAJ]

In the morning

[moneymagnet24]

Between 2am to 5am
