Just Stuff

Woke up at 5 a.m because I've adjusted my internal alarm clock for the work outs I do 3 times a week at that time. It wasn't work out day, but I got up anyway, because Leah, the lead character of the current book, was jabbering away, playing the next scene I needed to write in my head.

So, in order to shut her up, I got up, made coffee, and booted up the laptop. I actually finished a previous scene and wrote the new scene. She's busily throwing new images behind my eyes for other scenes as I type.

This is a good thing. I'm not complaining. I need to write those scenes, and believe me, it's a hell of a lot better than when a character won't talk, and it's like pulling teeth.

So keeping my fingers crossed that she keeps talking to me. She usually does.

Tired though. Probably nod off early tonight.

It's the magic couch. I sit on that thing and I nod off. You know what I'm talking about, right? You have a magic couch or chair or some other piece of furniture that makes you nod off?

Worst part is that you don't really go right out. You kind of doze but don't fall asleep, but you're too damned tired to get up and go to bed, so you keep opening your eyes and then dozing some more, so then when you get up and actually go to bed you feel awake and can't fall to sleep.

Ah well. I'm going to bed early with a book tonight, so that when I nod off I'll already be in bed, nice and comfy.
