When Is The Best Time To Write?

I've heard fellow writers mention that they feel there are certain times of the day when they are able to write more efficiently. As if the creative flow won't begin to trickle down their fingers until they hit that exact time. Is there such a thing as the right time to write?

Truthfully I can relate. I find that there are times during the day where I really feel my creativity kicking into full gear and it is typically the afternoon or just before 11:00pm. That may seem odd but it's true. Granted it is not an everyday thing, but I have noticed it can develop due to work schedules or school. There are the some occasions where on the weekend I will have an all day writing-fest. It's  not that hard to believe that other writers find that at certain times of the day they feel more productive than 8:30am in the morning when they are groggy and waking up.

That said, it's not as if you have to write at the same time everyday. If you are trying to branch out and create some wiggle room in your writing schedule, try to get a pattern in place that will keep you in the swing of things. It may take a while to adjust but it is doable.

Some writers can do it at will but I find that some of my writing buddies have trouble forcing the creative juices to get pumping. It happens, do not fret about it. Writing does not need to be forced in the first place, but it should be something that is practiced, studied, and refurbished by style. When I find myself wanting to get my mind focused for writing I read from a book, make some hot tea, then settle down in my favorite chair, and then complete the process by finding the right music. It's all about finding the triggers to get your mind in the right place. If you are a writer trying to be a bit more flexible in terms of time management why not give it a try? Find what triggers you often use to create the right frame of mind and mold time into a tool that works for you.
