I was up before six this morning. Wide awake, staring at the ceiling, ready to start my day. Oh I tried to roll over and sleep some more, but it just wasn't happening. That's what I get for going to sleep at nine thirty last night.
God, I'm boring.
Anyway, I got out of bed and got my coffee. I futzed around a bit on the web, and then got to work. I've made some really good progress on some things I'm working on. Actually managed to write a synopsis for my WIP. One step closer to being done. A few more tweaks and edits on the MS itself, and then....then I have to get up the guts to submit it somewhere. Soon.
But now I'm sleepy, and I've only been up for four hours. I think my nap will happen earlier than usual today. I want to finish the bit I'm working on, and then I'll crawl back into bed for a couple of hours.
I want to point out that this is actually working too. Because in those moments as I'm not really awake, but not quite asleep yet...those moments are when I do some of my best thinking. The characters like to show me scenes then. I'll replay them while I drift off, and then when I wake up, I'm usually in a good place to write.
This one is almost done, and I have a bit of an idea for the next one. I'm letting that one percolate some more. I'm missing some details I need to work out before I try to get it on the page.
But the end for my current boys is nigh. I can feel it. And I'm getting anxious. Both to have the completed project, and because I have to let them go. They've only been living in my head for a few months, but they are mine and so that's tough.
But after I finish this part I'm working on, and then a nap, I'm going to sit down with TV and yarn. And that, right there, will be good.
