About Dear Heart

(Show Details...)

I am a writer. My poetry is sad, I write death, but I can write happy if I want to. I love art, classical music, reading, nature, meditation, dancing. I collect books, vintage clothes and jewelry. I adore the old building where I live with Snuggles Kitty. The avatar statue you see is in memory of my elderly cat Smudges who died at 20 years old. She loved the garden.

What time of day do you write ?

Blog Posted:1/3/2020 1:00:00 PM

A question . . .

I like to write in the early morning, it seems my mind is open-wide and I am full of inspiration, sometimes, I go to my writing desk and just begin.. perhaps inspired by a contest theme, or a dream, or a thought, or even a sadness in my heart, I have not even had breakfast or a coffee yet, how long I dwell there is probably too long... it depends on the requirement of my day.

Another time of the day I write is late at night and not sure why inspiration hits me at 3am but it does and I can write very well in the middle of the night and must pull myself away to sleep.

And then, sometimes I just write no matter the time of day !

So, I am wondering- what is your best time of the day to write ?

Inspiration springs up unexpectedly for me on any given time of the day, Constance:-) That's why I always carry a pocket notebook and pen everywhere I go! I love writing "in the moment" and have written several in real time, "Waiting Out The Rain, "Crescent Moon Frowning," "On The Shore", to name a few.

Edward, inspiration comes to me always at odd times, times I cannot stop what I am doing to write it down, and I keep repeating it in my head hoping I will remember it by the time I get to paper _Constance

With me, it's never been a matter of time taken to write. A thought comes to mind, maybe a line in a book, lyrics of a song, clouds moving swiftly over the pines...anything that lends itself to what I might perceive worthy of poetic verse is fuel to make me sit at the keyboard or write on any scrap of paper I can grab. I sulk over thoughts that were lost because I had no way of capturing them. Memory is not a friend of a poet. Constance, I applaud you for creating a blog that does not cause dissension on the site. Instead, it serves as a cohesive bond among poets.

Dear Heart

Lin, first thank you for the compliment on my blog, I appreciate that... my memory is not good either there are just too many things swirling inside this head, and I am forever the poem to be written mode, as everything I see or experience is potential for a poem.. my friends laugh when I say, I could write a poem about that... but you know what I mean, its like the poet inside never shuts off_

First an idea then a spark and just keep adding an tweaking over a few days. I don't have a set time of day but soon as I get an idea I jot it down on notes on my phone so it doesn't fade away. Tom

Tom, I have started using my cell phone like that also, so the idea does not fade away, because if I don't it will, there are just too made things whirling around in my head.. i like the idea of adding to a poem over days... I bet those end up being your best _

My time for writing is in the evening, but I've always been a night person. I've started caring a pad with me since I never know when a though runs by. I even find myself using a receipt when I don't have anything to write when it comes spontaneous

Dear Heart
Date: 1/5/2020 11:56:00 AM

Eve, I just recently got a tablet and take it everywhere almost but I have written on odd things with a borrowed pen or pencil.. and always say to self, how can it be a writer leaves home without a journal or paper _

Frederic

it all depends on what emotion a particular piece of instrumental music I'm listening too stirs, whether day or night, sometimes it stirs a memory, sometimes it stirs creative imaginations, sometimes it stirs no poetry at all, sometimes I'll chose a particular piece of music that will lead me in a direction I want to write, the common theme is music

Dear Heart
Date: 1/5/2020 11:54:00 AM

Frederic, I love your music inspired poetry, so beautiful. I often listen to classical music before writing and do some meditation.. and then my mind feels open wide and I begin . . .

My linguine sticks best to the wall (I think) when I'm anchored to a barstool during happy hour. I'd have a laptop in front of me, a beer filling my drought, and my typed words would dance all over people's feet on the dance floor. I had a great time.

Dear Heart

Tommy, some of my pasta recipes have tasted like wall paste... but my poetry is always cooked perfect _

Dear Heart
Date: 1/5/2020 12:01:00 PM

Connie, maybe your words are just drunk and dancing, I have done that! But I agree anywhere can be a place to write because we write from deep inside us and our surroundings disappear _

Son of Spock
Date: 1/4/2020 3:21:00 PM

Use only al dente pasta when wall pasting and you're good any time

FJ

Date: 1/4/2020 10:52:00 AM

Thinking about what you read about writing that we writers should have set times for writing; I agree more with your perspective. I don't see how that could be helpful when it comes to poetry; possibly because mine is mostly spontaneous. But maybe it is helpful when it comes to writing books!

FJ Thomas
Date: 1/4/2020 12:05:00 PM

Lolol you are absolutely correct! I lose many of my poetic thoughts for exactly that reason! They come either when I cannot right or do not have anything to write with!

Dear Heart
Date: 1/4/2020 11:51:00 AM

FJ, I understand what you mean about spontaneous and that is awesome but I would have to have tons of paper available to stop and write - I am so used to my dedicated time that I just slip into it like a fluttering bird and all my thoughts come drifting back to me (of course, all the assorted scraps of collected notes and scribbles on papers, even napkins, help) _

Dear Heart
Date: 1/4/2020 8:59:00 AM

Harry, I worked a night shift once in nursing besides almost killing me, I was like a Zombie, I am totally unsuited to night working but creating poetry at night saved my sanity during that time and I still write in the night_

My poems ooze out from the little cracks in my life - I write them in the shower, whilst driving to work, whilst cooking (which is why I burn so much food) and I use apple notes to write so I can scribble down either in my phone or iPad. I rarely sit down in a dedicated way to write a poem. Novel-writing on the other hand requires an empty house and silence - I have 2-3 hours of this on a Friday and I’m very disciplined about using it!

Dear Heart
Date: 1/4/2020 8:57:00 AM

Nina, seems you are never without a poem in year head being created, I often have ideas swirling but I need a dedicated time to write_

I wish I had a set time. Whenever she wakes up; could be anywhere, anytime, triggered by anything. ...when she actually does wake up -_- But the deepest ones are almost always at night.

Nice to see ya back, FJ. We've missed ya. Stick around won't you. You add a little beauty to the beast in me.

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 11:25:00 PM

FJ, I read in a book on writing that we writers should have set times for writing and I tried that but nothing happened so I just have to go with the flow, but I seem a bit sharper in the early morning but at night I can go deep and dark too, and I love that _

Keith, I am exactly the same because in the middle of the night my muse clicks on and I have no choice but to get out of bed and write _

craig
cornish

Date: 1/3/2020 8:42:00 PM

I don't write for days but I'll think every day and every time about everything and when I pick up a pen I usually write a part of a thought and go back to it at all different times but those times will be quiet and still so I can focus on what is within and behind those thoughts no matter what time an inspiration wishes to expose itself.

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 11:21:00 PM

Craig, I like how you write parts of your thoughts down, I do that too, at times I dwell with a poem for days, before feeling it is finished, sometimes even a week, editing and editing ... those are the poems that usually get higher placements in contests_

JAN
ALLISON

Date: 1/3/2020 6:56:00 PM

I write whenever my muse strikes at any time of day or night:-) got a notepad by my bed as I often get inspiration when i wake up - especially with full limericks which I have to write down:-) super blog Constance and I second Wayne's comment on it being a legit one not simply here to stir the soup pot:-( hugs Jan xx

JAN ALLISON
Date: 1/4/2020 7:28:00 AM

lol at brilliant thots Wayne. if i dont write them down immediately they are gone. I always have a note pad with me, or have scraps of paper everywhere especially in the kitchen lol

Wayne Kingston
Date: 1/3/2020 11:47:00 PM

Amazing how if I don't write my "briliant thots" on that pad by my bed how they are virtually completely forgotten by morning...hate that!!

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:36:00 PM

Jan, I need pads everywhere, in every room, and my purse, backpack because no telling when the muse will strike and one must be ready, perhaps just jotting down a few words so as not to forget the thought, thank you for the compliment on my blog _

Wayne
Kingston

Date: 1/3/2020 5:22:00 PM

DH, thx 4 a legit Blog. I write almost by checking into the fast moving stream-of-consciousness that frames my world. Dipping in as the spirit dictates. Sort of... ;o)

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:34:00 PM

Wayne, even your comment is poetic, love it, and happy you like my blog _

i still work and get up very early (430 am) i write whenever i find free time... weekends are the best for me...if my muse is haunting me i will text her song to myself and then continue with it or post it...i do a lot of bus scribbles when i am sitting in my bus awaiting on the students to come out of the school...todays blue jean poem was a quick bus scribble... i am often inspired by scenes when i am out and about...good question :) hugs

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:33:00 PM

Sandra, I am exactly the same, except I don't get up at 4:30 am! On the bus or at the coffee shop I am composing in my head or to my cell even sometimes in my dance class, yes often views out of the bus window inspire, a quick glimpse perhaps that strikes me as the bus speeds by_

Tania
Kitchin

Date: 1/3/2020 4:23:00 PM

I often write in the mornings. I will write when my muse strikes. I have woken up before with a poem in my head. I will write at other times of the day when my muse strikes but it's mostly in the am. I like your blog Constance! :)

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:31:00 PM

Tania, oh another morning writer, but I know what you mean when the muse strikes one must just write, thanks for liking my blog_

Andrea

Date: 1/3/2020 3:30:00 PM

by the way, the best advice anyone ever gave me (when I said to them, "I just don't feel like writing") was when a prolific poet I once knew told me "The muse will always come if you JUST WRITE" (if Tommy sees this, that is my reply to what he said about hating to write for contests)

Keith Trestrail
Date: 1/4/2020 11:28:00 PM

Sounds like me after a big night down at the pub. They need to make bigger bowls...or at least ones that don't spin!

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 1/4/2020 5:10:00 PM

yes, once I START, it often FLOWS and I do not know where I will end up. I LOVE that.

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:30:00 PM

Andrea, yes this has happened to me but once I put those first few words down like magic the muse comes to me _

Son of Spock
Date: 1/3/2020 6:38:00 PM

Yep

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 1/3/2020 5:15:00 PM

some of my best work happened that way. Different strokes for different folks!

Son of Spock
Date: 1/3/2020 3:41:00 PM

I find that writing under compulsion often (not always) leads to compromise. At least in my case

Andrea
Dietrich

Date: 1/3/2020 3:28:00 PM

Constance, this is a great blog topic. I write when I set my mind to it. When I have few distractions , I like it best. I just tell myself, Ok, settle down to it and WRITE. It ends up being weekends, often on Sunday when I am mostly alone or whenever I just force myself to do it. Unlike many poets, writing is more a mental exericse for me. I wish I was more "inspired" by things around, but that is not typical for me. I am more often inspired by the contest themes than anything else (or sometimes nature or a movie scene that really hits me)

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:29:00 PM

Andrea, I know exactly what you mean, life has a way of getting in the way of writing, I view poetry as a puzzle that I am creating with words, I have to make them fit and thanks for the compliment on my blog _

Son of
Spock

Date: 1/3/2020 3:23:00 PM

For me when I have a free afternoon, usually Sunday but not always. And I have to be in the mood and have had a theme rolling around in my head. I don't like writing under compulsion which is one reason I don't enter many contests

Dear Heart
Date: 1/3/2020 7:27:00 PM

Tom, I know what your mean about a theme rolling around in your head, it happens to me too and I just want to get it down on paper _
