I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I usually don't write at night, but there are times where I wake up at 3 in the morning and write all night.
At night I can write for hours.
I used to write in bed, starting when I woke up. I believe that creative work comes from our subconscious mind, so I try to keep the gap between sleep and writing as minimal as possible.
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'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.
I couldn't sleep for nights on end, as my brain felt like there were thoughts colliding within it; I obsessed over small details, from saving pennies and polishing each one of them to washing my clothing over and over in the washing machine.
I write best late at night, when everyone in the house has gone to bed. There's something magical about that late night silence that appeals to me.
I can write all the way through the morning, when my mind is clear, and there are no distractions.
I wrote for nearly six hours. When I stopped, the dark mood, as if by magic, had folded its cloak and gone away.
I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.
