I'm not going to go into great detail on this here because I need to sleep soon. But I'm going to get it off my chest before laying down for the night. Maybe I'm the only one ...
I was reading the CNN website last night and found 
I am blessed with a wonderful group of friends with whom I gather ever other week for the purpose of writing, critiquing and encouraging self-expression. Technically, I should be there in about ten minutes. However, I’m also a mom, so that means dinner has to be cooked and downed before I can go play with my BWFs (that’s my Best Writing Friends).
Tonight, I have my pink Moleskine page-marked with the results of my planning session over the weekend. I have enough topics for side-posts (non Daily Brew-HaHa stuff) to last me through Yule, including a selection which will double as Witchvox submissions. That should get me to the Yule break where I can plan another quarter’s worth of stuff.
Now the hard part — schedules. I realized at work today that I have a daily hour at lunch where I could write, uninterrupted. That would mean a solid 25 hours of writing per month just from that. I need to carve out that time. I also need home time to write. Can’t decide if that’s a morning or an evening thing. I’m starting to come to grips with the fact that I’m just not as creative in the morning as in the evening. I prefer staying up a little later and writing. I don’t particularly like feeling like I have to wake the dead with libations of caffeine and exercise just to get my brain online.
I wonder if the time of day one is born affects what time the brain “kicks into gear”. I was born in the afternoon. For certain, evening is my most productive time. What time were you born? If morning, are you a good morning person? Care to blow my theory outta da water?
