You sometimes have to be alone at night.

Do any of you like to write at night? I do actually. I find the silence of the night to be conducive for writing. It is not just the physical silence but the internal silence in the mind. There is no physical noise to disrupt my thoughts. Hence, I can keep my mind silent. Well not completely silent. The mind is never still, There are always thoughts but the silence allows you to think properly. 

When I am writing at night and I am online simultaneously, I feel connected to the world. it is also allows me to conduct research and check my spelling, grammar, aid my paraphrasing and look for synonyms, etc. My imagination grows like a tree at night. The trunk is the thought, the main branches are the ideas that sprout from it and the leaves are the product of the process of writing. 

Writing is a process that ends up with a product. It begins with brainstorming for ideas, then writing the drafts, error checking, fact checking and looking up for more ideas. It involves listing any pros and cons, how to make something better and thinking critically and getting creative with the language. One must twist and turn with the language and finally proof reading the final product. So, we begin as a process and end up with a product.

Ideas can come to the mind like a brilliant comet streaking through the network of your brain cells and you capture it, nurture it and use it. Ideas usually come from your extensive reading. But sometimes it is out of an epiphany but the words you use to constitute to the writing comes from reading because you must know what words to use and ideas behind the writing content. If you meditate to the universe and converse with it, you will get responses from it. The universe cooperates with you, inspires you, calms you and empowers you. You can benefit from its help.

If you look at product writing, it is merely copying an example and writing emulating what has already been written. There is no process where you can learn, make mistakes you can learn from (mistakes are great teachers) and the joy of producing a genuine product. If you are going to emulate someone's writing, you can just use it as an example and then emulate them so that you get used to writing. But then you must explore different writing styles and transition to process writing. I should think that product writing is for beginners. 

In conclusion, writing at night can be conducive. The silence and lack of disturbance allows you write easily. The universe will be your friend. You must write as a process and not as a product.
