Insomnia Strikes Back

[thessalian]

I still cannot sleep. I think it's the heat. I managed a couple of hours' worth of nap this afternoon, during which time dodgyhoodoo did about a thousand words of something sci-fi that he seems to think is crap just because he hasn't necessarily seen plot yet. Silly man. I think it's brilliant.

Did some writing myself. That can be seen on non_plot. My next step is to actually do something coherent, but at least with the community challenges, I keep myself in trim. I'll probably also try some of the challenges in the 'workshop' segments of the BBC Get Writing site because hell, if I'm going to ride people about actually writing, I'd be hypocrite of the century if I didn't do it myself.

I need to try to get some sleep. I don't know if I'll be able to function tomorrow if I don't. I tried the aromatherapy bath thing but only wound up feeling marginally less like someone replaced my vitreous humour with napalm.

Yuki peed on the bed. She's definitely home. She's now also being a total attention-whore with both of us, up to and including crawling into my arms because, after all, if I'm typing, I'm not petting her, and we can't have that.

Argh. I will try lying down and getting some sleep now. I don't think it'll work, though -- I seem to be too tired to even think about sleeping. Argh. Argh!

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Glad however to hear you're writing. Does this "non plot" group have a whole writers-group feedback thing to it?

Any regrets yet? *grin*

What is that about?

Feedback: Why don't you go read the thing and then find out for yourself what kind of community it is and what kind of feedback I'm getting from it? Incidentally, badgering me to get feedback from other writers does not constitute showing an interest, though I can see the attempt and am, to a point, grateful. In short, we've had this conversation so leave me alone about it already.

Yuki: Just because I'm whingeing about a few things does not mean that I am having regrets; it simply means that I am readjusting. You should know this, as you seem to feel that whingeing is not just your right but your duty.

"Where's my fucking column? If you do not get it, then it does not apply to you.
