Once a very good friend of mine said “I always imagined you
as a late afternoon or evening writer.”
He himself was a late night writer and playwright.
Sadly he has passed away. Often I have moments when I wish he could give me
advice. It is during these moments that I
remember the miracle of Facebook.
About a month after his death, I was obsessing
about schedules again so I got on facebook and found this little piece of
advice. “I always imagined you as a late
afternoon or evening writer.”
It had been a year and a half since
he first typed those words. As I looked
back at all the schedules I tried to make I noticed one common theme. I was
always writing sometime after dinner.
He was always right and still I kept
trying to change my own flow. So now I
have an alarm set on my phone to go off at 9pm every night. I have to have a start time or else I will
sleep through it if I have a migraine. Even if I sleep all day I know I will
still get at least an hour of writing done each day. I start at 9pm and write
until I am tried again. I usually always get at least an hour in.
