We all know that there is no best time to write a song. Artists should take advantage of the inspiration whenever it comes and work on it until they get a finished product. The best time to write a song is when inspiration kicks in. Regardless of what time of the day it is and what type of activity you are doing. It’s better to give in to the temptation of inspiration and start producing your work. Creativity can be a fickle thing, so we have to accept that sometimes our creative skills will be high, sometimes they will be low.

The perfect time to start writing is in fact a question that has been debated for decades now and the answer is not as straightforward as you might think. Whenever inspiration strikes, it’s better to just give in and start writing and producing our work. Creativity can’t be manipulated or forced, so there is no point in beating yourself up for occasionally not being able to write a single line.

The best time to write a song is when you feel inspired, but there are a few things that can affect the creative impulse. Sometimes external distractions can make or break a good songwriting streak. If you are out and about, you might find inspiration easily, but it might be difficult to put it into a work of art, especially if you do not have your tools with you. The opposite applies when you are in your studio or home. You may have every single tool you need at your disposal, but you may not have any inspiration. Other external factors, such as your phone, you can try putting it on airplane mode so it won’t distract you from what’s really important – your artistry.
