Thomas Jefferson once said: "The sun has not caught me in bed in fifty years." Okay, so there's clearly no chance I am related to him in any way. In fact, I wonder just how many writers can even relate to being in bed only during the darkening hours. What is it about us that makes us, as a rule, late risers? Why does inspiration hit at 4AM? Any clues? The way I see it, East Coast writers have the advantage because let's say an article is due by midnight Pacific time. They really get to hand it in at 3AM. Shouldn't there be clemency for other time zones?
Okay, signing off now. By the way, it's 9 PM (11 PM Eastern).
