More on Lehane + Dreamwriting
When I went to Dennis Lehane's talk last week he mentioned that he finds that he can only write really early in the morning, and that whenever he tries to do it during the day (or as he put it, 12-5) the results suck. He thinks it's that you still have to be in a semi-dream state for the creativity to work, and he doesn't know anyone who can write from 12-5 and have it be good. He said that he usually wakes up at six in the morning, writes for a bit, then plays with his daughter when she wakes up.
I believe it. I'm currently somewhat half asleep, and I'm bad in the sense that I sometimes jot down stuff in early morning classes. I got three pages of notes in my last class that I'll convert later.
