Always on a Thursday?

[TheFifthElement]

Can anyone explain why it is that I always write poetry on a Thursday? Is Thursday an especially creative day? Is Thursday the day when the pressure and grind of work finally break down the thin veil of my sanity and let the poetry out? It is a mystery.

Does anyone else out there have an affinity to a particular day of the week? If so, share, share, share!

dont know. I dont have a certain day of the week, it depends on my mood, and i might not be in the right mood for months...

Monday's! those days are the best, especially if Sunday was extremely boring, that way I can always imagine the weirdest things. then I subsequently dream about those at night which further warps it into some quite funky spaced out stuff. When I wake up on Monday, I am so estranged from the world that all I can think of is weird things, and thus I am weird on Monday, which is perfect for weird stories. It only happens once in a blue moon that something half decent comes out of this though. Often it's just too weird and gets binned on Tuesday.

I never could the hang of Thursdays.

Maybe you can't, either?

:p

Dunno about days but i always have to (or so it seems) write one the night before a physics exam! :eek:

Thursdays are peculiar days indeed...
I think it is hard to determine the purpose of a thursday. It is the penultimate weekday. Mondays start the week off,tuesdays are perhaps equally purposeless as thursdays,wednesdays mark the middle, fridays are....well fridays ;)
Interesting thread.

Maybe it is because of your schedule, perhaps you just happen to be in a literary mood on Thursday.

I have to say Thursdays has always been one of my favorites, I'm sure that has nothing to do with quarter beer night in college.

In the hilarious series about alternate worlds inhabited by a constant real time space/time continuum that governs all of the literature we read by Jasper Fforde, the main character is named Thursday Next.

That must be why. Hehe.

As a side-note: I met Jasper Fforde, at 3 different writing-related functions!

He gave me advice for my writing:

Write 10 novels, one a year, for ten years. Then you shall be famous.

He signed two of my Thursday Next books! I'm so happy about it. I'm not sure if you all would know him, he's a big british writer.
