Embracing the Night

Finding Your Writing Rhythm

“The night is for dreamers. The night is for writers.” — Rosemary Lynn

Today I got to sit and stare out my back window. I saw a rusty feathered hawk fly real low and watched the bulls hang around and swat flies with their tails. Days like today remind me how important it is for writers to find their thing and accept it.

Slow mornings light my fire. It’s not just the peace that greets me in the morning; it also gives me more energy for my evening writing ritual. I’m a night writer. I like when everyone is snoozing while I’m in the corner creating new stories to share with the world.

Some people are morning writers, and that has nothing to do with me. If I wanted, I could write all day, but if I don’t write before bed, I don’t think I’d sleep a wink.

I don’t know if you’re a night writer but one thing is true: as writers, we have to find what works for us. For me, this is when I feel most connected to my inner writer. I can hear clearly the stories begging to be told. And that’s when I do my best to tell them.

But first, I had to tell mine. Writer’s Quest: A Triptych is my debut novel and I’m excited to share it with you. Click the image to see more.

Saschia Jayne Johnson is the author of Writer’s Quest: A Triptych. On her free time, she likes to be with her family outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize it was the search that held what was most important; curiosity." Saschia works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
