When does inspiration come?
Psychologists have noted an interesting fact - for some people the feeling of inspiration and desire to create comes in the evening and at night. During this period there is an opportunity to concentrate on the work ahead, despite fatigue.

After the bustle of the city during the day, it's so nice to do what you love - here and there is room for thought and creative impulses.
But it should be noted that this feeling accompanies not all people. Therefore, when asked why there is no inspiration at night, or, conversely, during the day, psychologists answer - it is due to the peculiarities of the human body, its emotions and experiences.

How do you write texts without waiting for inspiration?
Separately, I want to share ideas with copywriters. If you can't get in the mood to write a text, use the "listener" technique:
Gather information on the topic on which you need to write a text.
Turn on a voice recorder, such as the one on your smartphone.
Imagine in front of you a representative of the target audience of the text. If it is difficult to imagine, call a friend or relative and let them listen to you. If there are no people around, you can tell the information to a pet, a flower or any object. The main thing is to have a "listener" in front of you.
Tell out loud what you need to convey by text.
Decipher the resulting recording by transcribing the monologue as text.
Edit the resulting content.
