A few months ago, I read a blog post that suggested getting up two hours early to write. I cringed at the thought. I already get up between 5:45 and 6 every morning to get ready for work. And I’ve always been a night owl–mornings are for sleeping, I say.
But, as I struggle to have time and energy to write after I get home from work, I am beginning to think that might be my only option. In fact, I find that I have all sorts of good ideas in the morning, and they are lost by the time I get home.
I wanted to link to the original blog post, but of course, I don’t remember who wrote it or how I found it. Instead, I found these two pages that might inspire me to drag my ass out of bed in the morning. I mean, this writing thing is important to me, right?

Now on to the real question. I know there is a name for morning people (other than insane), but I don’t remember what it is. Larks? Songbirds?
