My only and favorite time to write is early in the morning. I rise at 5:30 and sit to write for about an hour depending on the morning. I normally use my writing time for Haiku's. Many of my haiku's are about early morning, partly because I find that time of day so inspirational, and partly because I have trouble remembering the haiku moments from the day before. When I walk away from my computer and begin my day, the haiku moments come flooding into my mind and go out just as fast as they came.
I realize I need to start writing down the moments I wish to write about throughout the day. I love using paper and pen, but its not practical for me to use at any given moment. I could be at the playground chasing my daughter while holding my son and by the time I have a chance to get to a notebook, the idea would most likely be gone. However, I always have my phone with me no matter where I am or what I am doing, so going forward I plan to jot down my haiku ideas there. I plan on emailing myself the ideas or using a program like Evernote. I am also going to try to squeeze in some more writing time before bedtime, that is, if I can keep my eyes open by that time.
How do you record your haiku moments? How often during the day do you try to sit down to write?
