How to make your writing feel great any time (not only in your “tiger” time)
Some writing coaches propose that you write when you feel great, including writing only in your “tiger” time, and not writing at the other times. The “tiger” time is the time of the day when you focus easily and your writing flows. Although I am not opposed to the idea, I find it impossible to implement at the moment.
I had to, therefore, come up with another solution. Let’s face it, my (and maybe yours too) “tiger” time is in the evening, between 11 pm and 1 am to be exact. The time when working mummy needs to sleep. Does it mean that I never will have my writing flow? Oh no, no, no. I want my writing to flow, and I want it within my working hours, as after that I want to spend time with my kido, and after they go to sleep, I go to the gym. The only time I have for writing is faaaaaaar away from my “tiger” time.
If you are in a similar situation, do not despair. I have found and tested the solution. There are things you can do to make your writing time feel great at the time of the day that YOU choose.
