I have a something called MD or Maladaptive Daydreaming, and it makes it hard to focus. But the good thing is, that I enjoy it and that it helps me keep my mind off stressful things, and gives me ideas for my stories! It usually happens at night, and I usually do it before bed...once I dreamt up of an entire storyline in one night XD
"i was lonely in a way I imagined the stars to be; observed by everyone yet too far to truly be seen..."
For me it definitely depends! It's a mix between when I'm trying to sleep, while actually writing, and doing other day to day activities. A lot of times poetry writing doesn't just come "naturally" and I kind of have to dig for ideas/words as I'm writing it. But other times if my mind is wandering or something I see inspires me I will quickly jot down that idea, even if I'm not actively writing! I also take a lot of inspiration from other writers and their work—even though not for direct ideas, it gives me motivation to keep writing whenever I'm struggling.
