When is your favorite time of day to create?

Three weeks for Dreamwidth: When is your favorite time of day to create?

The evening, always. There is something about the evening and the night that calms me, relaxes me, and puts me in a mood in which I can create more easily. In some way, I sometimes find daytime to be stressful, even when I have days where I’m at home and don’t really have tasks/responsibilities.

I remember when I was in college, we had our most important art project at the end of the final year. I was in a rough situation at home with my parents, and the days felt as though they were constantly full of stress. I couldn’t work. I knew I had to complete the project, and felt that everything became more relaxed in the evening, so I decided to change things up and work at night (from 7 pm to 7 am) each day (we had some time off from lessons to complete the project). Then I went to sleep and woke up in the afternoon. I took care of some things and got ready to start again at 7. It was a crazy routine, but it worked. I was relaxed and completed the project. I passed. Fun fact: I often listened to Edith Piaf’s music while working on that particular project. It somehow fit with my mood at that time.
