It's tricky to set these things up for sure. Sometimes it's best to be forced into a situation like that, such as for me. I'm forced to do my writing at night when everyone else is asleep. It's quiet time for me but it also gives me some dedicated time during a given day to write or do the engagement that I need to. Today I was able to achieve both thankfully!
I will say, night time could be a potential ideal set up for this kind of trickery. The silence of the night does help with the word flow that mostly get clogged up by over loaded though process. Glad to know you were being able to achieve both in the end.
