Being an insomniac only slows me down. I try not to write at night, as I'm concerned that this will affect the quality. I might have a Scotch to keep me going, but I like to be as awake and as alert as possible.

I usually don't write at night, but there are times where I wake up at 3 in the morning and write all night.

I'm terrified of writing at night, for then I can't sleep. So I start slowly, slowly writing in the morning and go on into the late afternoon.

Don't write more than 3 hours at a time. I write three hours in the morning, 9 A.M. - 12 P.M. Other people are best late at night.

I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.

Once I have a book in my head, I write progressive drafts fast and obsessively and have trouble sleeping.

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.

I have great difficulty sitting in the middle of the night and writing. Everything I do comes spontaneous. Sometimes it takes a long time; sometimes it comes just like that.
