I also am a night owl and would probably function at my best if I could stay up late and sleep until late morning, but instead I stay up late and am always tired. I do feel a burst of creativity at night, although I frequently write things in my head during the day when I cannot write.
I like how you enjoy your writing - as a reader that is obvious and appealing. I've been treating steemit as a bit of self discovery too. I love to write, but an also a procrastinator, so without a reason to push forward I likely would not develop my love fully. We will see where it takes me.
