Set your alarms for 3:15am–the annual August Experiment starts tonight!
It’s that time once again, time to set the alarm for 3:15am in order to write “between sleeps”–not awake, and not asleep. The spoken word video above “How to Write at 3:15am” uses one of my 3:15 poems to describe how to write at 3:15.
I’ve been doing the experiment since 2001, getting up every night during the month of August since 2001, and writing something. Many of my 3:15am poems are here on this site under the category 315 Experiment as well as published on the 3:15 Experiment site and in an anthology of 3:15am Experiment poems, between sleeps.
Here’s another example of a 3:15 poem and video, Jasmine and Jaguar. This was the first video I made; “How to Write at 3:15am” was my second excursion into video.
“See” you at 3:15am tonight and every night this month!
PS Any wineries want me to do the experiment at your site? Invite me to spend the night and we’ll see what conspires!

I wish I had the kind of lifestyle which would justify making this level of sacrifice to my art. Or that wasn’t so lazy, one or the other.
Alright, AP. I did mine except it is 5:00 am experiment. It’s winter here and bloody cold in the mornings especially when there is food and whiskey the night before. I tagged it 3:15am experiment.
Wow, very cool, Paul! Congrats! I went to see what you wrote–great images conjured up from the various art references. I hope you keep at it!
I’ve got my journal and I’m doing this – but with a twist which might be considered a little weak. I’m doing my writing at 3:15 PM. Girl, you do not want to be around me if I don’t get my beauty rest. *snap*
