"Writing on Christmas Day!!!"

Hello Fellow Writers & Readers:
Well it's Christmas day and nothing to do here at the "Castle" except write on my book and wait for ole' "Sandy Claws" to slither his way down the chimney. This is my favorite time to write (at 2 A.M. not while waiting for the dude in red) because at this time I get my best burst of creative energy. You wanna talk about writer's cramp!
And that's what I'd like to talk about today, on this fine Christmas morning. Many writers can write at any time of the day or can just tell themselves; "This is the time I have to write on this day," and just get to it. Discipline figures very highly in this scenario. BUT...many other writers have to be in the "mood" in order to knock out lots of words at a single clip. For me, well, I can write most any time I have available but I certainly am not disciplined enough to write x amount of words at any available time. I am most creative from around 11:00 P.M. to around 3:00 A.M. If I'm not overtired from lack of sleep I can crank out over three thousand words during that four hour period. Unfortunately I don't always have that time available to me so I'll just fit in whatever time I can, even if it is as little as fifteen minutes on some days. Hey, fifteen minutes equates to a couple hundred words anyway.
So, try and figure out when your most creative time is and try and write during that time period. You'll find that both time and pages zip by in a hurry. And, if you can't always write at your most creative time period, then just pick a few spare moments and write. You'll be surprised how much you can accomplish in a very short period of time. OOPS! Gotta go, something just landed on the roof of the "Castle." Sandy Claws is coming. I gotta get to bed...and quick. C-Ya!!!
Have a Wonderful Christmas Weekend!!!
