Four Days and Counting

Monday, October 27, 2008

After working nights in factories and hospitals for over twenty years, my body does not want to sleep at night. I did fairly well last week, and then over the weekend flipped back to what I call "the vampire schedule." I am more productive when I sleep at night. I'm not a happy camper today. I have a commitment this evening I can't miss, and then I will work on character development, and play around with Papel and yWriter4 to see which one I will use for the novel. I'm going to try very hard to get to sleep by 2AM, and get up at a decent hour tomorrow.

I feel like I've wasted a whole day of preparation for NaNo. Since I'm starting at 12:01 a.m. Friday night, I'm down to four prep days left. Today is a wash. That's not a good thing.

Wewt for starting at 12:01!!! I am, too. In fact, one of my friends seemed a bit down when I told her I wasn't doing anything on Halloween. *hugs* I hope your schedule gets worked out alright. Personally, I'm a night owl as well. Hell, I write my best when I'm exhausted. I still haven't figured out why that is, though.

The closer it gets, the more I'm filled with excitement and fear at the same time! Will seriously try to get on some kind of sleep-at-night, write-in-daytime schedule this week, what's left of it! ;)*hugs* Totally psyched, though!
