No, it is generally not appropriate to write a letter of recommendation for yourself. Letters of recommendation are meant to be written by someone else who can provide an objective assessment of your skills and qualifications. Writing your own letter may come across as dishonest or unprofessional.
The appropriate time to ask for a letter of recommendation is at least 2-3 weeks before the deadline or when you need the letter. This gives the person enough time to write a thoughtful and well-crafted recommendation.
