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.

Erm...I think the morning after breakfast, I've got most energy then. I can write for a few hours then. Afternoons are no good, I've run out of steam by then and I'm too tired after the day by the time it gets to evening.

I wouldn't say I'm a morning person, I usually feel depressed in the morning, thinking of the day ahead. Maybe creating helps me get over that? At night I'm happy, thinking I've got another day over with, thank goodness.
Thanks for your interesting and lovely answer 😊

Thank you <3
I, too, sometimes suffer from a feeling of depression in the morning. It often has nothing to do with what I have to do that day, but more with a sense of vulnerability that I can’t seem to cope with at that time. It eventually passes, luckily.
Creating things to help you get over morning depression seems like a very powerful thing to do!

I hadn't thought of it as creating to get over morning depression, I like that idea!
