What is your favorite time of day to write?
Anytime that is QUIET
definitely needs to be quiet and still, I love writing really late at night or out in nature any time if it's quiet.
I have small notebooks around the house, car, purse. once I even wrote a short poem with an eyebrow pencil ~~~~ I was in the bath tub.I'm going to bed soon tonight but I have your new hubs on my list to read tomorrow~

I tend to write my best stuff late at night, as my flattie (roomate in American language) isn't up to disturb me with all his house noise, you know how people are, f**k**g noisy creatures they are when your on a computer, as your hearing is more acute whilst on a puter, I have the puter in my lounge, is my office too...and hey, coffee is your best friend when writing late, trust me.
I also write mid afternoon, then have a three-four, whateva, hour break from the WHOLE COMPUTER environment and go for a walk into the village here and meet people and just forget about the internet and everything..is called emptying the mind of all technical clutter and the internet...I have found through personal experience and books etc, that STAYING ON a puter ALL day is NO good for the soul and mind...so people in offices the world over, take note, your shrinking and frying your brain quicker if you stay on a puter all day, find balance and stick to it and be the boss of your puter, it's not the other way around am afraid.
PS: Am a newbie on this site, but not a newbie to the internet, since 1999, so know how these m/board type forums work, I still remember chatting in YAHOO movie chat rooms,
all their politics and sometimes waste of bandwidth space, like today still.
My background, have written, dabbled rather, in screenplays, have completed 3 feature length ones on and off since 2000, now just looking for the right producer who WON'T SCREW me over...have been there once eh, never again my babies!..Have done a-bit of freelancing in the past as well, as in general pieces.
Ask me anything re writing screenplays, and I'll give you good brief advice and no bullshit!..it will save you buying any of the two hundred odd books on screenwriting, which most of them are utter American crap anyway and confuse you more..I learnt by doing eh, you only learn by doing really, attending one year filmschool to get me going on the basics, and have also made
short films as part of the 48hr film competition we have here in NZ every May..write-shoot-edit, and no script allowed to be done before the start time...try it!
My profile on here, will be developed much later when I deem it more important than other things I have going on at the moment..Hey I go now, writing work to do keyboard pounders!

E-Mail: kiwiscript@hotmail.comi am a morning person...usually that works best for me. But there are nights when thoughts would come in and i find myself writing then.
I am night owl, and prefer to write in the late evening. During the day my mind is busy with other tasks such as business, household responsibilites, so nightime is best for me, and since I work from home with my mate, I get to sleep late.
I write ALL the time...because I write in my head....so I can write things lying down in bed in the morning etc. or when I am waiting for a bus etc. I am not saying my writing is 'good' writing...but it is the way I do it.

I prefer to write in the afternoon, when I completely wake up and not tired yet...
It's more difficult to concentrate on work in late evenings...I don't have a specific time of day; it depends on my mood and energy level.
if I'm feeling inspired, I can write 4-5 articles....

I am in the mood to write right now but it is getting late and I know that my mind won't write right if that makes sense lol. So will be writing in the morning
anytime that I am not working on anything else
I like to write in the morning when my mind is fresh or in the evening. I'm a night owl, so that's probably why I like to write then
.I don't know, I've been writing most of the day and sometimes you just write when you have to write.
like for a project and it needs to get done, or you have a goal of what you want to accomplish.most of my stories come to me in the middle of the night...after that it's just a matter of finding the first moment of quiet I can get to pin the words down! if it wasn't for my family, I guess i'd write all thru the night....!
In the middle of the night... that is when I am most creative.
