Goodreads asked Joe Baldizzone:

How do you get inspired to write?

Joe Baldizzone Inspiration isn’t a problem for me. Time to get it all done is more of a challenge. I found something interesting though about my work habits that I think helps.

I’m a night person and have been all my life. My finest hours are between 11 PM and 3 AM. For writing, however, my best hours are between 7 and 11 AM. I have no truly valid explanation for this and offer it here as I imagine others might experience the same. I think there’s a possibility that my mind is the clearest at that time, and distractions of the day have yet to start getting in the way of my creative process. Whatever the reason, I embrace it. I write much better in the early hours. And then I take a nap.
