Well, this is interesting, but I'm not sure it's all the universal phenomenon that Seanan makes it out to be. Then again, I've never thought to look for it in my own stuff.

The problem I have about certain times of day is whether or not I can write anything at all . . . if I try early in the day, I'm likely to have hours invested in a single sentence -- followed by a similar struggle starting the next one. The sentences are okay; I just can't seem to get a flow going just any old time.

Still, the article is good for getting writers to look for style changes in general. "Know thyself."
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
