I am sharpest in the evenings, doing all blogging at that time - and everything else too: laundry, sorting, scanning, packaging, reading. Hardest part is getting to bed by 10pm. That's a must because I'm also one who requires 8-9 hours of sleep each night and that stinks. I hope you transition well - and if you're a bit MORE cranky...well then...we know why.acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-12090004771344798722018-03-14T22:57:03.125-04:002018-03-14T22:57:03.125-04:00I'd be pretty ticked about a change like that....I'd be pretty ticked about a change like that.

I don't have a set time when I write my blog. When I first started blogging with my non-cards blog I would publish whenever I had finished writing my post whatever time it was. Then for a while I would schedule things for 5:00 pm but would have to wait till I was home after work to see the final result and ultimately find spelling errors and other typos that needed fixing. Then I chose Noon as my publishing time so I could check my final post during or after lunch at work. Sometimes for anniversary posts I will publish at the time the original post was published for nostalgic reasons. Another odd time I have scheduled things was on my non-card blog when I had a fortune cookie series of posts I published them at 12:30 pm dessert time.

I write when I can, when I can find time - sometimes I can write a post up within an hour but for the most part it takes me a few days to piece together a post I'm happy with publishing.Coast To Postshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472349342853837560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-44799084042002784322018-03-13T13:14:04.593-04:002018-03-13T13:14:04.593-04:00Weekdays - Typically write the night before, post ...Weekdays - Typically write the night before, post the following day @ 3pm.<br /><br />Weekends - Typically write the morning of the post (sometimes later if I go out to breakfast or walk around the flea market), and try my best to post @ 3pm.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-23575110483857774202018-03-13T02:13:55.212-04:002018-03-13T02:13:55.212-04:00I wrote between 3-5 pm for years.

I worked from home so the day was when I did my work or ran errands, I would take a quick nap and be up in time for my kids to get home from school. After getting their snacks and homework started I would sit down at my computer and blog away. Things have changed in the last year and my health has deteriorated so I have cut back my freelance work significantly and my kids are now teens and don’t need me when they get home anymore lol. Now I don’t have a set time, though I really liked having a time frame.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-36923192979470208362018-03-13T01:35:43.569-04:002018-03-13T01:35:43.569-04:00I usually write my posts between 5 and 6 every eve...I usually write my posts between 5 and 6 every evening. Once in a while I'll write one a bit later and usually have it scheduled to publish the next day. I know could never blog in the morning. I'm rarely up that early on my days off, and even if I was, nothing I'd type would come out as anything more than incoherent babble (but then again a lot of my posts end up like that anyways...).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-28255726384520947362018-03-12T23:37:30.764-04:002018-03-12T23:37:30.764-04:00"...not a chance in hell..."

When I'm with her in Singapore, I go to bed around 11, usually up around 7. When I'm in the States, usually I sleep around midnight or 1 so I'm up most days by 9. Never thought it would happen without it being a work requirement. If I can handle being up before 11, you can, too!

As I've become the primary caregiver for my kids I've had to adjust my writing time to be much much earlier so I can finish things up before getting them from school and forget all about evenings. It's been a surprisingly difficult transition for me (writing-wise not parenting-wise) so the better bet is for me to go on a madcap writing session and schedule a ton of posts that hopefully hold things over until I can find the time to write again.Nick Vossbrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162939001181537887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-22520129220815654122018-03-12T20:10:47.735-04:002018-03-12T20:10:47.735-04:00I usually write my posts between 3-6 although ther...I usually write my posts between 3-6 although there are a few exceptions.

I would say less than 1 in 10 posts is published as soon as I finish it, but occasionally my schedule works that way. My health dictates my schedule so I never really know what it is going to be at any time, it's actually pretty frustrating.<br /><br />The blue border on the 1991 design looks great to me.
