Hi there! I was wondering when your best time of day is for writing? Is it the morning, afternoon, night, etc.?

Abbasali,
For me, it's morning. I try to do this:
a) Get up at 6am
b) Go to the gym
c) Be home by 8:30am.
d) Start writing at 9:00am, write until noon (at a minimum.
Once the day gets going, once you start looking at email, talking to loved ones about whatever problems are afoot, all of that takes brain power. I prefer to use sleep to my advantage because a lot of my day-to-day stress dies down, so I write before that stress kicks up.
That's my way, but there are many others. I know people who don't even start writing until 6pm or later.

This is not so much a question but a plea. I just voted for books of the year and did not see Alive in either of the young adult categories. I went ahead and did a write in vote for it. For those who see this, Alive should have, at least, been among the nominees. Do a write in vote under young adult science fiction/fantasy category. (No, Scott didn't tell me to write this did you?)
