Who needs sleep, anyway?

Who needs sleep, anyway?
Once again, I’m at my computer in the single digit morning hours, carving out a little “me” time. Actually, it’s time I give to the characters populating my head. The ones who insist on getting out to stretch their legs when I should be sleeping. The ones who have chosen me to put their story to paper after some fashion. The ones I hope I can do justice with my words.
In the normal working hours of the day, I’m at my “real” job, taking care of family and the mundane details of living: laundry, dinner, taking the dog to the vet.
In the evening, sports practice and homework. Baths and bedtime.
Night?
Me time.
When do you write? Early morning? Late at night? Lunch hour?

  1. I'm a night owl. I work from home but I'm usually extremely busy from 9ish to 6ish. We eat dinner usually from 6-7. I watch TV with my wife from 7 until around 9 when she goes to bed. Then I mess around on various websites and things for an hour or two, then I write for an hour or two, and then I usually go to bed around 2ish.

  2. I write when I can fit it in, but my favorite time of the day to write is during the morning. That's when I do my best writing.

  3. I sqeeze writing in where ever I can, too. But I'm more a night owl and will frequntly be up at 1am writing. I like the peace of nighttime--everyone else is asleep so no one is going to break up my flow. Love it!
