When is the best time to write?

The simple answer is that there is no right time to write. Whenever the mood takes you is a good answer. But what if that just isn’t happening?

Is there a way to encourage your mood?

I have read all the opinions of the experts, from forcing yourself to write anything for five minutes to picking any moment from the story and writing about that. That’s a good one, by the way.

I am asking this question because, with everything that’s been happening, I haven’t given much thought to writing. In my youth, you understand, I always used to write the minute I got out of bed, and this worked so well for a long time.

I’m not sure when this stopped or why, but I have been struggling for a while now, especially lately. I thought I could write in the afternoons, but I am usually so tired by then that all I managed to get is rubbish.

Mornings would be a better time, so maybe I should go back to writing then and leave all those routine tasks, emails, and social media until later.

I have had this conversation with myself so many times that I thought sharing that question with all of you might just find that voice of reason…
