it's easier to write at night

 '... I had an obsession with short-wave radio and I was always amazed at the way in which the radio signals would become stronger as daylight faded. I felt as if psychic energy levels would also increase in the night.' - peter gabriel

a friend notes;

'G.P.O. had a theory that It was easier to be creative in the small hours because everyone else was asleep and there was more psychic energy floating around...'

horsemouth thinks it's easier to write at night because there's no where else you can be and nowhere you have to be and there and no people to see and no work to be done. 

to this day horsemouth thinks he should be doing 'stuff' in the day - as if 9 to 5 were special hours that were intrinsically 'work' shaped. 

'conflict with diary writing. while I write in the diary I cannot write a book... if I were a real diarist, like pepys or amiel, I would be satisfied to record, but I am not...' - anais nin, journals, volume two. 

writers (based on the ones horsemouth saw on the creative writing course at goldsmith's university) often swore by early in the morning (either before they go to work or after the kids have gone to school) for (horsemouth guesses) similar reasons. 

writers often have routines. you will sometimes find videos on youtube of people attempting to follow such-and-such a writer's routine. 

horsemouth's routine used to be to write in the morning before he went off to work. then it became to write the day before and finish it off in the morning (like he is doing now). he's waiting for inspiration to strike.

horsemouth is trying to water the garden less (to help with the possible water shortage). he's hoping that roots are deep enough and plants sufficiently well established. (he can't tell you how relieved he was to see water coming out of the taps - nor how quickly this has faded to just a commonplace occurrence).

a guitar and flute take on one of robbie basho's early tunes from a very echo-ey church. this is two or three minutes of unintelligible description followed by  robbie basho genius.  there's a whole concert up there (basho, debussy et al.)
