Surely, like me, many of you feel tempted on more than one occasion by that curious tendency to write at night. Perhaps it is because of the silence, because it is at night when the fireflies of creativity appear, I do not know for sure.
However, dedicating night hours to our passion is a pleasure that also requires a certain will and, specifically, of these 5 tips for writing at night.
Previous sport time
Many times, separating our work from our hobby or passion is not so easy. We usually work 8 hours a day and although throughout the day we long for night to come to be able to write, it is to get home, lie down on the sofa and feel (with all the right in the world) that we have already given everything. Hence, considering going for a run or simply walking for an hour helps us to oxygenate and be more receptive when starting to fill notebooks.
Write by hand
When you work writing with your computer for many hours a day and you are tired, to that same fact is added the fact of continuing to do so in a Word document. The infected lights of our computer at that time do not suit us and turning it off to leave it in a corner will be the best option. It is then when considering writing by hand in a notebook becomes especially important, especially because it improves our concentration, relaxes us and, above all, makes the art of writing more a pleasure than something imposed.
And a glass of wine?
Of course, even two wouldn't be bad either. And it is that, after showing that a glass of red wine is equivalent to an hour of exercise according to a University of CanadaSkipping the glass of Rioja is no longer an excuse before we start writing. Alcohol, as politically incorrect as it may seem, allows locked ideas to come to the fore and even brings greater dynamism to our art as long as we don't drink the entire bottle. Or yes, who knows.
That nostalgia
At night our emotions tend to surface, and with them, the possibility of putting them on paper with greater feeling. I at least always find inspiration at night and in the most unexpected way. Because, haven't you found yourself in that situation where you are trying to fall asleep and suddenly you think of an idea that you need to put yes or yes on paper? Many of us stumble in the attempt, but we managed to reflect the idea.
Our corner
Finding the right place in our home is the basis for being able to unleash creativity, no matter whether it is the balcony full of geraniums, the kitchen table or our overstuffed sofa. If, in addition, you get a light that is not too scandalous, much better. This aspect is possibly the most personal of all.
These 5 tips for writing at night they can be more effective than you think if in your case you don't find the time or the desire to do it even though you are wanting to write a few verses all day long.
