My writing day is broken up into chunks. The first one is in the morning. I get up a little before it is time to wake up my 5 year old for school and spend time on the computer checking email, etc. While she has some play time before school, I complete that work (hopefully) and then after she goes to school I settle in for my first work session of the day.

I’m definitely not a morning writer. Now that it’s light earlier in the morning, I am waking up earlier and I hate it. I prefer to wake up around 10am and go to bed around 1am. I do my best (and most) writing between 10pm and 1am. Just sitting in bed while the bf sleeps, tv on the lowest volume. Everything is quiet. During the day, I don’t know, too much going on. I never can get relaxed enough.

Anne, I am a morning person too, by default. With kids, school buses, backpacks, etc., the best time for me to write is after everyone has left and it’s just me and my coffee cup. That’s usually around 7:30 a.m.

sounds like you’re actually using your time quite well… at least it sounds like that to me.

Ann, like you I am an early riser as I write for some European websites I check my RSS feed to see whether my posts have been published. I also chat to other writers in Asia who are usually winding down as I am getting ready to research etc but I actually start writing only at around 10 am..wish I had better time management skills sigh!
