There is no optimal time for writing.
Or rather, the optimal time is almost certainly now.
Write when you are happy, that your words might proceed from the authority of someone who knows happiness.
Write when you are hungry, that your words might proceed from the authority of someone who knows hunger.
Write when you are in love, that your words might proceed from the authority of someone who knows love.
Write when you are in grief, that your words might proceed from the authority of someone who knows grief.
Write even in moments of fatuousness, that your words might proceed from the authority of someone who knows what it is to be fatuous.
Write even in your sleep, if you can will it.
Likewise with every state of mind and feeling in the heart. Let none of them lack expression. And dedicate to each and every act of their expression the fullness of your intelligence, the four-fold completeness of your being: passions, senses, imagination, mind.
Above all, hold nothing back. Believe.
