Most days, I don’t start writing until it’s close to midnight. That’s a choice that I make in order to force myself to stay focused and get the task done. Putting myself under the pressures of a time crunch actually benefits me in some ways that you may not expect. For one, I’m forcing myself to express what’s truly on my mind. Whatever’s truly on my mind will flow easily, and forces me to become much more open with my readers. Writing late at night also gives me time to be honest with myself. At night is when I find myself doing lots of self-reflection as I look back on my day. Everyday I make mistakes. At night is usually when I decide to recognize them, confess them, and figure out how to improve or fix them. That’s why you might find that I often write about motivation, creativity, or inspiration - it’s really myself conversing with myself. Sure, I write with the impression that others will be reading, but it’s true that most of the time I’m encouraging myself to take steps in the right direction. Hopefully by sharing this publicly I’m encouraging others to do the same. (Or something similar.)
