Wanting to Write

I am not tired enough to sleep but I cannot think well enough to write. I am in an in-between state. I have spent most of my days watching TV and DVDs. I have only used my computer to check e-mail and play music. I have not even thought about sitting down and writing. It has truly been a lazy Saturday

Now I am trying to write something. I am trying to get some ideas out of my head. I have the feeling that deep down I really have something to get to. It just does not want to come to me. I have no way of really retrieving that idea. I cannot even verbalize it. It is totally escaping my ability to describe it. It is this huge balloon in my brain, but I cannot pop it.

So instead I am working on my bills in Quicken. It is something that needs less concentration, but I have been ignoring just as much. I do not see it as wasted time, but I will see it as a wasted idea. I know that I will never get it out of my mind.

Everything will kill you

It is not official, everything I enjoy is bad for my health. My goodness! Really, I need to get less sleep. The next thing they will find out is that laughing will kill people.

Would you sleep less to lengthen your life?

Tired and Writing

I do a lot of my writing right before I go to bed. I try to push myself at the end of the night. I feel that I have ideas in my head and I want to get them out before I go to sleep. I am tired when I write. I know that I am not my sharpest, but I seem to have an easier time concentrating.

Last night I realized that I couldn’t write on Super Karate Monkey Fist when I was that tired. I needed to be sharper to write reviews. I need to already have an idea of what I want to write. I cannot just pick a topic and go off the top of my head. I will have to give myself more time to write things for Super Karate Monkey Fist. I have to have more of a plan. I will have to remember this going forward.

Last Night

Last night I slept for about 10 hours, watched about 20 minutes worth of pro wrestling, and wrote for a few hours. On paper that almost sounds like the perfect evening.
