Today's discussion topic: At what time of the day do you write best? Are you most productive in the morning when you've just woken up or do you burn the midnight oil?

I didn't write anything new. What I did do was go through the exported file of all the stuff I wrote for 750 Words last month & pull out all the ficlets & save them in separate files. I do this every month, & every month there is at least one bit of fic that makes me happy & excited to keep going with it. It was a nice thing to do on a day when I felt like I didn't have the brain to write anything! Especially because I didn't even remember writing a lot of the ficlets, so they were extra-pleasant surprises.

I am a morning person in general, so it might be a neat idea for me to try writing first thing in the morning. I am also, unfortunately, one of those people that takes a long time to get ready for work (& I hate rushing), so I don't really want to try to get up even earlier. Generally I write in the early evening: after I've unwound a bit from work but before I start getting sleepy.

LOL, this had happened to me a few times when I look in my WIPs folder. I get all "huh? When did I write this? What did I wanted to do with it?"

It's nice to find something you didn't remember writing, isn't it? A bit like an Easter egg to unwrap.
