It's when you've stopped writing and are doing other things, especially when you're asleep, that the real work is done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Once I have a book in my head, I write progressive drafts fast and obsessively and have trouble sleeping.
Most of my work is done when everyone else is asleep.
Every morning I tell myself, 'Today has to be productive' - and then something happens that prevents me from writing.
The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.
I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work.
Writing is a spiritual practice in that people that have no spiritual path can undertake it and, as they write, they begin to wake up to a larger connection. After a while, people tend to find that there is some muse that they are connecting to.
I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.
I used to get up and write every day, even if I wasn't working on a specific thing. Now, when I have a thing I'm in the middle of, I do that, but when I'm not, time can go by when I'm not writing at all.
I can write all the way through the morning, when my mind is clear, and there are no distractions.
