   I normally write during set hours because that is when it is most convenient and quiet. However, I will write down notes at any time during the day or night when I am inspired.

      Those notes in the middle of the night can turn out to be pure gold sometimes.

   I write mostly when inspired. A lot of the topics I cover are from experience or that I have a passion for. Then I do the research to add to it. With children out of school, I really can't have a set schedule. I do it when I can. I can see why setting a time works for some.

      I have had a lot of trouble coming up with a set time myself, something always seems to come up. I do love those times of inspiration.

      Hi Eric, I do keep a book for writing in at night by the bed. It's gotten more difficult to do since I have to find my glasses now. Yes there is always something.

   In a "perfect" world, it would be a set time. I've only just begun writing again. I've had a lot going on last 5 years or so. The last year has been major, I've become a foster parent to my boyfriends 5 grandkids. As of middle of last month, we are down to 2 girls. So, right now finding the time is a lot easier than before. Once school starts, it will be a lot easier to find a set time of the day, once in a routine, etc. I also write things down that inspire me as much as possible throughout the day/night

      I've been struggling for years to come up with a set time myself.
