06 Sep 09 When to Write?

Written by: bikram

This is the most common question asked by newbie freelance writer. The new writer always finds himself searching for a concrete answer to this question, but he or she does not realize, until they are out of this “newbie” phase” that the answer always lied with them. Even after reading this, they will find it hard to believe that they know all the answers.

Yes, you also know the answer to “when to write” question. Well, if you insist that you do not then let me tell you that there is not one answer to this question; there are many answers; or rather, we all have our one answer each for this question. For example, I like to write in the morning; hence, the first thing I do after waking up in the morning is to write. I start writing even before I pick the day’s newspaper to read. I start writing even before I gulp lukewarm tea from my cup. In short, writing is the first thing I do in the morning.

I have a friend, whose writing time is entirely different than that of mine. He likes to write in the night, and he writes until he fall asleep, and as a result of that his bed is less frequently used. Another writer friend of mine likes to write in a coffee house where he gets to see lots of beautiful women. Yet another friend of mine loves to write after watching a movie, and this list can go on and on.

The point of the above written useless words is that there is nothing like one correct or perfect time to begin writing. You can write whenever you wish to, and rest assure, your sub conscious mind will one day reveal what time suits you well. Till then keep on writing, or keep on pushing yourself to write.
