What happens to you when you have one of those days? You know when you sit down to write something and then:

Nothing. I'm having one of those days today. Or come to think of it, one of those hours (or more like 2 hours and 20 minutes so far...this morning was actually pretty decent). Thank god the typical work day ends at 4 or 5 because right now -- after so many hours of thinking -- I'm drawing a blank.
I love thinking about my golden hours for work because I think it tells so much about me and how I process information, how I get things done, and when I am in my creative peak of the day. If I had more mathematical skills and/or the motivation to make a little graph on my work ability throughout the day, I think it would be interesting and actually quite visually appealing.
Alas, I am not going to go to that trouble right now because well, these are my going-on-3-hours of no inspiration time.
If you are wondering, I believe my peak hours are 9:30-11:30am, 2-4:30pm, and about 1:30-4am.* Like I can get some seriously good shit done at 3am. Which is why I'm always willing to give up sleep for something I'm passionate about. Because I can sleep whenever. Creativity doesn't work that way.
In fact, I should probably just go take a nap right now so I can get to work later.
*None of this applies when I'm on a deadline. Because that's actually the real way to get me to pump out some great work.
