Good Morning, and Happy Monday!

Nighttime is the BEST time to write, I've decided. Nobody bothers me but the cats, the phone doesn't ring, I can't run errands, nothing is on tv -- in other words, all the things that distract me or make me procrastinate are gone! Last night I wrote two stories, and now it's a beautiful spring morning, with the sun shining and the birds singing, and I have two finished fics. They're in that hateful first draft stage right now, but FINISHED, so now comes the honeymoon period where I can edit and find each story's rhythm and get it all together. Then I can post! One is a sequel(?)companion piece(?) to the other, so I think posting them on the same day will work. They're both short. I have to have four more out by the end of the week. I claimed 2 at the St. Paddy's day challenge at [livejournal.com profile] a_lost_art -- there were just too many temptations to choose from, how could I pick just one?! There will be several all-nighters, I think. Am I daunted? HELL, NO! Pfffft. Sleeping is for naps, and I can do my job -- housewife and slave -- in between.

Nighttime is the right time!

I love writing at night, it's the best time, I think that brings out the best in me..plus for some reason the angst and hotness flow easier..but then again, I can write those during the day, but like you said...a lot less distractions

Agreed - that's the easiest time for me too!

I really enjoy writing at night, too, for all the reasons you mentioned. Congrats on writing two stories, that's awesome! :D

Oh yay for writing at night! I'm sure I would too, if I didn't have to sleep *shakes fist at stupid job*
